Need Bigger Tires
- Location
- Marietta, Ohio
I'm at the end of my rope. Since last August I have replaced 2 motors and a transmission. Currently it is broke down AGAIN!!
My truck is a 2002 and had 257,000 miles on it when we replaced the first motor in August 2013. That switch was understandable. The truck had a lot of hard miles on it. I bought another motor with 104,000 miles on it. I figured with the miles I got out of the first motor this one would last me a while. That following winter while driving, it blew the rear main seal and I had to replace the transmission. After a couple of months I had to replace the lifters in that motor. In May the new motor started going. Burning oil, smoking and rattling so it sat until October when we decided to try another motor. After picking my truck up I started home and it blew the main seal and had to have it towed back. The seal was replaced and I finally got the truck home. We drove it around here a few times and the seal has blown again!!!
I have had multiple people working on this. My boys, a professional shop and a family friend that's a mechanic.
I am at a loss! Call me crazy but the thought of a new truck just makes me want to cry. I've had this one for almost 11 years and its just who I am.
Do I give up? Is there a reason its blowing the seals?
