I don't have this motor yet but what is the approx value? it's around 200,000k, in the truck..so wiring, tranny, rear end..everyting

[TeeJay]

I've seen a few around for sale, in the $1,300- $1,500 range. One was recently rebuilt, with 70 HP injectors, new turbo, VE pump (it was a '93 I believe) for $1,300.

just tryin to gauge if it's worth my time to buy the truck back from ICBC or not... a cummins in my blazer would be ****in awesome though heh heh

[TeeJay]

a Cummins in any truck is awesome!

[Kinslayer]

hmm wonder if it'll fit in my heep :D

[TeeJay]

weight-wise you may have a problem, but I know a Viper v10 fits into a TJ with no problems. Anything is possible with time and money!

[Kinslayer]

I have seen that one..I remember reading it in a mag way back when.. hehe dude had custom '8.0L' stickers made up to match the font of the '4.0L' hehe

[TeeJay]

yup, that's the one. The guy owned a football team or something, and took his TJ to the shop and said "Build this as if it was yours and money was no object." That's what they did!

I thought that they changed it, so once ICBC wrote your car off it was gone.
I don't think you can get it back anymore..

You can buy it back it's just not as easy. They will tell you that you can't buy it back but if you hassle them enough for an "Owner retention agreement" you can buy it back.

Complete running gear, $3000-3500 would be a steal. Tranfer case is junk and wrong side drop for chevy, though.

Big difference between a 93 and a 96. The P7100 pump is worth almost $1000 alone.

It's a 2wd

and yeah you can buy stuff back you just have to go through more BS to do it..


Oh and they are fixing it...hurray
