Re: Engine rebuild
I would not rebuild the stock motor, replace it a create motor to the same specs. If you rebuild it and need to bore the cylinders which you may, you change the displacement of the engine - meaning the stock computer program will not operate the engine correctly. So if you rebuild the stock engine you will probably have to get a custom tune. If you go that route, might as well replace the cam for low end torque and economy, replace the heads with better flowing ones... get the tune. You will have better economy, more low end power, and a fresh engine.
New rings, bearings, gaskets, no machine work... do it yourself in 3 weekends - $1,500 including the tools you need to get it done. While you have it out, get a reman trans and rebuild the transfer case. You could do it all for $2,500.
