Tractor Hauler #2 - what to do?

Posted by ShepFL on May 25, 2005 at 06:39:38 from (155.14.78.39):

My primary rig is a 1990 K3500 4x4. Still strong as an ox but that 454 loves the gasoline.

#2 rig is wife's 1993 GMC Yukon 4x4 with the 305 motor. Truck has +298K miles. Just put new transmission and rear end in it last yr. Now the motor is getting real weak. My question is this -

A) Would you rebuild the original motor?

Labor to remove, rebuild and reinstall costs more than new long block motor.

OR

B) Install new motor (long block) as sold by auto shops?

I like this option as it will only require remove and replace plus it has 3 yr. warranty. What is your experience with these motors?

Thanks in advance.
