    If you ever Destroy a truck with a inframe with low mileage! When you settle with the insurance company don't keep the truck thinking you'll use it in your next truck if your new trucks engine goes south! It cost almost as much to swap engines as it does to inframe your present engine! lol! It's sad but, True!

    Mine was 5 with installing a new clutch and engine mounts. Only thing else was reusing
    my old oil pan and swapping the front accessories over to the new engine.

    Rent a backhoe for a day. Lift old engine out, lift new one in. Spend the rest of the day grading your gravel driveway.
