dont ever turn over a motor with out checking the intake for water

 

Im thinkin that i do have the 5R55E Im not sure tho, id have to check.
The hole in the pan was from the rod, after i got it out of the water it ran like crap with a ticking noise, barely any power, then it would regain power, we tried to drive it to my buddys house, to get it in a better place, but the truck just gave out and doesnt start now..
I dont have any Skidplates

 

That really sucks. Looks like a nice truck.

 

yeah man, your telling me. It is a great truck, my first vehicle. then i go and mess it up =[

 

The bell housing bolt patterns are different between a 3.0 and 4.0 regardless of the trans. I have a spare 2004 3.0 but it would cost alot to ship you should watch the pick-a-parts...lol

 

You need to find a junkyard motor and have a mechanic swap it out. It isn't that big of a deal. 3.0s are a dime a dozen. I would try and get a post 02 one though.

 

well i talked to the guy who is gunna do everything, he found a motor 100,000miles for like 750$ and with labor and everything its gunna cost about 1400$ =[ its too bad cause the motor in my truck has 52k ive been trying to find something with less miles but, i do need to get it fixed.

 

Go to www.car-part.com, and do a local junkyard search for an engine. You might find something better...

Edit: I did a local search for my area on there, and ive found quite a few for 750 with as low as 17K.

 

750 for a 100k motor....I would tell him no thanks. I have seen some out in the yards with as low as 5k on them.
