on my way to class the engine started to sputter and shake like a washing machine. The oil was dry and I had it towed to the shop while it was still able to turn over. One spark plug came up dirty, and the code read two misfires. Id filled the oil two weeks ago, so obviously theres a bad leak somewhere, and a couple of the rods must have fried.
The mechanic says "I replace engines, not fix them. Itll be two grand to replace your 6.4 V8."
Id rather see it fixed than junked, so I came here hoping for advice. I'm not opposed to a V6, or something compatible, but at the end of the day buying another used car for a grand, in my state, would still cost another grabd to get on the road after all my states taxes and fees (Taxachusetts).
Please help! Shes been my baby for two years and I dont want to see her go.
