I have a 04. 5 4x4 quad cab,lotsa extras 105k but a brand new engine

is the key... with the new engine how will the price be affected???

yes all papers from dealer,cummins re-man:p
 
are you buying used? ***** and moan about how some tech on flat rate halfcrapped it in the engine bay and didn't have time for loctite on the torque converter bolts mounting bolts etc. then **** and moan about how they dont take their time to make everything perfect in the way of routing electrical and hydraulics. then **** and moan more about now I have to break in the engine and change the oil a few times druing break in and wont get the economy a 100K truck gets. just **** and moan about everything keep taking off every penny you can. I would only do this if you are buying from a dealer trying to make that last sale at the end of the month. if you are buying it from someone off the street dont even bother. just because someone is ASE cert and they work at a dealer doesn't not by any means indicate they are the best techs you can take your truck to. normally when they are on flat rate they are the absolute worst. then when they are doing warranty work expect even less cuz they get paid even less and want to get to the cash paying customers who have to pay more than DC
 
If truck is clean and with a fresh factory engine I'd sure want more then standard book price for it. I'd pay more for it also if install was up to par and I was shopping for one.

Do you read or even think think before clicking the reply button?
 
I was also wondering what the heck that reply had to do with the original question. What the heck has THAT got to do with a reman engine and pricing?

Derek, I believe he owns the truck and is trying to find out what its worth.



The rebuilt engine might help a sale but also could worry some potential buyers.

I am one that worries about things like that. Either way I would say the trucks value is not affected + or -.
 
I personally would not want to buy a truck with a new engine. That would really get me wondering all sorts of things about the truck.
 
So ask the seller. To me it wouldn't matter much. Its the end result that matters and the shape of said vehicle at the time.

Derek, try a period or comma in there once and a while. Or better yet some paragraphs. That might make your posts easier to read... ... ... ... ... ..... or maybe not.
 
In 50 years when it's on the auction block (Barrett-Jackson maybe?) and the numbers don't match, it would be worth less. :rolleyes: :p
 
My theory on used trucks is, if it has a new part on it, it is not worth any extra, but if it needs a new part then it should be discounted.



If I was looking for an 04 Cummins with 100,000 miles, I would favor the truck with a new engine over others, but I would not give any more $$ for it.
