Hard to say. Remanufactured generally means a motor that was bought as core and rebuilt on an assembly line, where rebuilt generally means a local mechanic rebuilt that engine for that truck. Both can run the gamut from impeccable jobs to get-it-done-quick-and-cheap. It's always a good idea to research a used vehicles maintenance history - when you come across a rebuilt or remann'd motor, ask for the paperwork. Find out who did it, research that company or shop for reviews, find out if there's a warranty, that kinda stuff.
