GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

My mechanic called, the 3.5 motor is there but has a cracked block!!!!!!!!

I called LKQ, the recycler I bought it from, they have another on the lot that just got there and will take at least a week to be processed.

I guess I have to be glad he saw it before he was knee deep into it.

Thanks, I credit the condition to the PO who was a nice lady in Tucson that took care of it. That is why I paid so much for it.

I love the springs/shocks. I can turn the knobs and make my fillings fall out or make it softer than it was stock.

I have the back at +3 and the front at +4.

My only complaint is having to remove the back seat to adjust the rears which is obviously going to happen with any shock.

Went and saw the motor they are going to replace the broken one with. 

From an 04, 53k miles.

First batch of parts are here, rear main seal & retainer, Valve cover sets & cam seals, radiator hoses, thermostat & external transmission filter. On the truck for delivery are the T-Belt parts: T-Belt , tensioner, pulley & waterpump.

Got the rest of the parts, now I just need a motor.
