Where to find new motor? My took a crap.:(

Well headin to my parents house i had the windows down with cruise set on 60 and all of the sudden it sount like i had blown a tire and it was slappin the fender or somthin ten i realized it was coming frm the motor then all of the sudden it was like it had locked up and just shut off, it really has me stumped on what happened, but imtearin it apart first thing a.m. and gonna try to find out.
So now i guess its time for a 6.0 but the ? is where do i get one from? I know there are alot of big junk yards that have alot of motors on shelf with warrenty that will ship them.
Does anybody have the .com adress to any of those places, or have a 6.0 for sale?
Thanks, Chad

Dude those guys are outta their mind with those prices on motors with such high miles! You could try carpart.com or ebay, saw some ls motors on there yesterday. Sorry to here that happen to you, how many miles on truck?

But a reman is used... I wouldn't trust a reman any more than I would a used one. If I were you I would find a respectable seller on LS1Tech or something and buy it that way.

Is the warranty going to void when you mod it like you know you will?

the plan is to just make it full bolt on + just maybe a lil spray ( which they wont know about) til warrenty runs out.lol
