Hello folks! Fairly new guy here. I migrated from the Trailvoy Forums.
I am looking for a replacement used engine for my 2002 GMC Envoy SLT 4x4 due to a head gasket leak between a combustion chamber and the water jacket. The engine compression is further pressurizing the cooling system overfilling the coolant catch tank and draining the radiator. I overheated the engine last summer due to a major coolant loss out on the prairie and had to drive it back to civilization. Are there any suppliers for used engines that has the approval of the "Nation"? Is it a coin toss as to whether a good engine is found? I would really like an engine that has been run and verified good since I know the engines do not snap in like Legos. I already have a defective engine and am not looking for another one! I am also no kid any more and this is going to be a hell of a task just doing an R & R once. Warranties and guarantees are swell but I want the confidence in using a solid engine from a dependable vendor that has met the expectations of the members here. Thank you very much for any suggestions you all can make. Referrals appreciated!
