Hi everyone!
I'm Jeff from Breckenridge,CO. I have red 93 2nd Generation 4runner with an unknown amount of mileage.(odometer stopped at 168,000)
A few years back an ex-girlfriend of mine was driving it back from denver and it overheated near chief hosa with a bad radiator leak. it has never been the same after that. i know have a pretty bad head gasket leak, oil leak and steering fluid leak...so i'm told. the shop told me it could have 6 months or more, but not worth fixing. the rest of the truck is in really good condition. new shocks, brakes, tires and hardly any rust. it's even running pretty good right now.
my question is: is it worth putting a new engine in this truck? i know i need to have the transmission looked at before i decide.
i would really like to know what your thoughts are on what i should do and if you know any reliable shops in the denver area that deal with new or rebuilt 4runner engines. i really don't want to spend more than $3,000.
any help would be appreciated....thanks!
