So as some of you might know i had the antifreeze disappearing like the miracle of god.
SO i called the dealer and ask "ok how much is it to replace the head gaskets" He takes a minute and punches some stuff and waits some more then has the nerve to say "$4500.00" LOLLL.. I said SOOO.. how much is a new motor.. LOL.. he says "$5500".
So i said "why in the hell would i want to replace just a head gasket for 4500 when i could pay 1000 more and get a NEW ENGINE." He says "wana know why" i say sure.. He says "cause the the gaskets dont blow on the titan trust me"
he says bring it in and well look at it for free and do a compression test and tell you exactly whats wrong.
so i take it in and im waiting for like an hour. He comes back and i say ok WTF? literally. He says that the radiator is cracked in two places, the upper trans fluid hose is leaking (some metal hose), the Upper pressure power steering hose is leaking (another metal pressure hose) He also showed me that i had NO power steering fluid due to the leak, and the transfer case seal is busted and leaking some fluid, and that my main positive plug with some fuses attached to is is cracked and thats why my car has been having a power problem with some things.. OH yea he also told me its 25.00 to plug the nail i my tire. I told him to stick the plug up his ass..
So long story short. $1400.00 and ill pick it up tomorrow wit new radiator and all new whatever on it.. oh well.. sucks.. I finally got a nice size job this week and i was happy to be able to put a chunk of change in the bank but it looks like im working this week to fix my car.. THAT SUCKS>
you been doin a little off roading?
And I'll help by bringin in a few loads of crushed concrete and some road signs. Sorry to hear it was that bad. I figured at least $1200, and it looks like I wasn't too far off. I'd still be concerned how he said that the head gaskets "don't blow" on the Titan. If it's a gasket, it can blow unless it's made of solid metal, and it can still fail. I just hope he isn't taking you for a ride on the other stuff. The "cracked radiator" thing would make me wonder considering you saw no leak and yet you had antifreeze burning out the tailpipe. I'd find out where you can do an oil analysis to check for antifreeze in the oil.
