Feeler: 2001 DC stuck valve

Weighing my options on whether to fix my truck, or sell it as is.
2001 doublecab 2.7l with a "stuck" (shops terminolgy, I'm guessing bent) exhaust valve.
195k.
I have a quote to rebuild the engine for $2,900 installed.

Whats it worth?

KBB value is $6,995 (with a 195k engine) - $2900 to rebuild engine.

$4500 obo

 

Clean double cabs go for more than $7K, look at some of the posts on here, seen some for 12+ though they usually have fewer miles and the V6. That shop quote for your 2.7L seems high. The 4-bangers don’t take a long time to do new heads/head gaskets. I wouldn’t try to fix just the valve, get a whole new reman head ready to go.

 

The $2900 was for a complete engine rebuild.
Quote from another shop for just rebuilding the head was $2,200.
Any hints where I can buy a reman head?

 

damn, you can get an LCE stage 1 head for less than that!

 

You can get a whole engine for less...but labor would be more. Talk to some local automotive machine shops and see who they suggest. There have been a few discussions about this on TW in the past but I can’t remember any vendors. Everybody seems to grab one from online or eBay, which seems like a gamble to me.

 

Any more interior and exterior photos?

 

Yes. I have a few on my phone, might have more on computer at home.

 

Here's a couple.

Nice thank you. My nephew is looking for one, I’ll screen shot and pass these on.

 

I'll check when I get home tonight for more

 

Want to sell your Snugtop?

 

Advice. Upgrade to the 3.4 V6.

 

Does it have an elocker?

 

Bummer. I already have a Dcab. I’m in the market for an extended cab manual for a project.

 

If truck buyer does not want it. Sure.

 

Upgraded to this....

 

No. I didn't think the 4cyl. Had the option.

 

Cool. Keep me in mind for the Snugtop.

 

No longer a feeler. Truck is for sale. On c/l for $5,000.
Leaving it at $4,500 here. TW discount.
