I called a few JY in my area and one has a core that they will pull for me for $400 or they have a “running” on with 150-175k on it that they will pull for me for $800. I’m thinking the core as that a lot of unknown maintenance miles on the “running” one.- Slowrider

Yeah the only reason I’m debating that is I remember when I V8 swapped an S10 way back when. I pulled the stock engine out and did not have the V8 built yet and it took forever waiting on the machine shop I chose (that one had a bunch of preferred customers that would bring stuff in last minute...- Slowrider

Yeah I’ve got a quote for 300 for block items and 450 for heads. If crank needs work that will be a bit more. So if the machine shop costs $1000 and the rebuild kit is $750ish and then my time to rebuild it. That is still cheaper than a reman engine. I’m toying with the idea of getting a JY one...- Slowrider

Both upstream o2 have already been replaced. That and rear backing plates were the two things I had a shop do while trying to diag the rear end noise and the rough running. The jeep is not for burnouts. If the kid want to do burnout he can use my truck 2010 Chevy Colorado with the 5.3v8. It’s...- Slowrider

Hello all, I’m new to Jeeps. I bought this 2006 Liberty Renegade back in December for cheap. It ran rough and had a lot of warning lights on. The suspension was shot and I found that the engine has low compression. I plan on either rebuilding the 3.7 or buying a reman to replace it with. It...- Slowrider
