Thanks guys.
Got a wonderful birthday present Sunday. On our way home from a great weekend camping, towing my travel trailer, the truck engine blew up. So far we know that it will cost about $7000 to rebuild it, with a 3 year, 100,000 mile warranty. And that "something" in the engine came apart.
10 year old, GMC 3500HD, 4wd,SLE package, gas 6.0l, great shape, 144,000 miles on it. Rebuild with warranty yes. Replace, same thing, newer would start at about $35,000 for a basic package and top out somewhere north of $70,000.

Happy birthday! Sorry about the truck but applaud the logic of getting it repaired!

When the transmission crapped out in Mrs. NPR's Commander this winter some people asked me if the vehicle was worth the 4 grand to repair it. My standard answer was that it wasn't worth anything with a busted transmission.
