to say that i'm not happy with the engine would be an understatement... when you pull plugs that look like the pics below from a locked up motor, you know it isnt going to be good... in this case it just got worse as we progressed... i honestly feel like the motor is not what it was represented to be and i should get some money back... right now i'm out the $700 i paid you, the $150 i spent coming to get it, $100+ in fluids and filters, 3 days of my own personal labor/time, $375 in shop costs, and so far a whole week without my truck... i dont know, or really care honestly, if you knew the engine was bad when you had it, but the fact of the matter is, you sold me a junk motor... thoughts?
