I wouldn't say volvo is any more dependable. Back when I had my own truck I had The Detroit Diesel warranty for engine that included parts and labor for 600,000 miles. They did all kinds of warranty work on the engine.
If you can get just the bottom end done it should not be to expensive. That all depends on what happened. Mine lost oil pressure at Detroit Diesel in the shop. They did the new bearing and stuff. I ask how much it normal would be not under warranty they said $3,000. Your engine must have really took a dump.NorthEastTrucker, 77fib77 and slow.rider Thank this. -

He must have broke a rod and punched it through the block.
Only reason I can see for needing a new engine.
Volvo does that too when you run it out of oil. -
Probably had the oil pickup tube problem .

Just bite the bullet and buy a crate engine and be done with it. Get a factory warranty and rock on. It does suck
