The upper manifold is a pain to remove but I just did sparkplugs in it about 30k ago so procedure was still fresh in my mind. Just waiting on 2 more lifters to arrive at the dealer so I can smack it back together. My wife loves our '84 c10 but isn't a fan of taking it to Starbucks on cool morningsThat's great time for that job!
A factory reman engine is $5200.Nice job, but if it was me I would be feeling like I just wasted the $ and time. That seems to be the normal disposable engine types that are now installed in most modern vehicles.
Or you know I could do something crazy like enjoy the paid off vehicle for another 90k miles before spending another minute $1000(worst case). Seems like a pretty good return on cost of ownershipI agree. I'm just saying I would have been ready to not have that vehicle anymore. Nope 5200 for what could be a jasper job would be nuts. In both DIY fixing and 5200 reman situations the same junk parts that you found in the first place maybe failing some point in time down the road (reason for my first comments in above post). I'd be trying to off load it soon. But yeah great job you did.
Did Chrysler ...or whatever they are called now...admit to this issue and over a fix to it or a extended engine warranty because of the issue???You ignored an engine noise for 40,000 miles? Surprised it lasted that long.
but that failure should not have happened in the first place...Chrysler should have fixed the problem at there cost not you...I don't subscribe to that philosophy either. "Hey, this car may cost me a few thousand in repairs, so I better go spend multiple times that amount on a different vehicle that could potentially breakdown just the same." Makes no sense to me.
Out of warrantybut that failure should not have happened in the first place...Chrysler should have fixed the problem at there cost not you...
If it was under warranty they would have repaired. However we will be joining the class action against them since this has been an on going problem with 3.6 since it was first releasedDid Chrysler ...or whatever they are called now...admit to this issue and over a fix to it or a extended engine warranty because of the issue???
It depends on the platform. On some platforms, it is time to cut your losses before they increase exponentially.I don't subscribe to that philosophy either.

Exactly this vehicle is paid off and still books 35-39kIt depends on the platform. On some platforms, it is time to cut your losses before they increase exponentially.
