What would you do?

Were the heads cracked on this? Call them, you might be surprised.

Heads were cracked on mine, yard gave me a couple hundred bucks back. Said they didn't want to exchange because it was likely the replacements would be cracked too.I just put the money toward the Iron Rams

Maybe they would swap you for a different one?

Well as it turns out i was surprised. I called them up, gave them the info that it had sludge in the valve covers, the huge amount of carbon build up, and that 1 cylinder had rust in it.

The first clerk immediately passed me to what i have to assume is his supervisor. I explained the situation again, and the guy said even though the 30day warranty was up and he might catch some flak from his supervisor, if i brought it down they would exchange it.

So i did, and they let me have a quick look at the motor they have. no sludge on the valve covers was all i could really determine right there and then. And my mechanic friend is gonna roll up there with me when they get the engine out of the truck to check it out on site.
