new truck? diesel?

Hi I have not had any luck with my truck. It blew up after 10 miles
and it is very hard to get a new motor where i am. Running back and fourth
between here and reno 80 miles 1 way. So I am looking at an 87
F250 diesel. I will probably just have my truck hauled to the shredder
Can't deal with this.

You might try to sell it first. It would be a shame to scrap an old truck over a bad engine.

I do agree. But this is a bed and breakfast,So cant do that here.
But I parted out a 77 suburban and netted $1,000.00 That was cool.

I would definitely try to sell it first. A month ago scrap was paying $350 a ton. Today it's paying $60 a ton. It will likely drop even more.
