during the process of determining my engine was bad ...my insurance company found a replacement engine...the whole engine not just short block or long block ... but they kept refering to it as the LKQ...does this make sense i had only heard our engine refered to as J32A

this clears it up.


Like Kind and Quality. Its an abbreviation for an insurance term.

Make sure they give you a J32A2 not a CL-P. cause that can be LKQ

i hope not

typeR

no..no...no... sorry to scare anybody that was an option i didnt choose they wanted to put a junk yard engine in it...i said no....then ordered the 3.5...but i questioned all along they price they were getting on the used full engine 2500$$ same as the 3.5 shorty...im stuck paying some of the additional labor they say 10 hours for and engine 20 for a short block...i have to pay 4@75$

they won't cover labor?!? :shakehd:

typeR

not all the labor...it's concidered a betterment issue they can drop a whole "LKQ" engine in and i want a new short block , that requires more labor.

I see I see, well that flood must have been some sort of unlucky but lucky occurrence then. Good luck on the new motor!

Damn I wouldn't mind a J32A1 --> 3.5 swap.
{mental note: must blow motor! or drive into lake, whichever comes first}
