We had it at the shop several years ago and when they were out test driving it, the motor spun a bearing or two. We purchased a new 4 bolt crate motor from GM and had it installed. So there maybe 3500 miles or so on the new motor. Transmission is in good shape along with the body. That is why we decided to put the money into upgrading and fixing the things that needed to be taken care of. We had looked at getting a new one, but the almost $300K price tag was waaaaay to much for my small department to pay.

Thanks Shaun. One thing that I can say about my department.... everything that we have right now for equipment, buildings, trucks, gear, etc. is all paid for. No loans to have to deal with.
