Blew my engine day one of holidays. Truck kaput...

Something worth considering but there are a lot of trucks on copart in the states especially colorado right now with severe hail damage. If you picked one of those up with lower miles and swapped parts over you might do ok. There are copart brokers that will allow you to bid on vehicles for a flat fee. $500 I think. I feel your pain. I just sold my truck on ebay for 10K after it blew the motor with a hole in the number 3 piston.
