Ecodiesel replacement

[Nmcsc]

Looks like I will be replacing motor at 103k. 2016 crew cab Laramie. Had a new turbo installed 200 miles ago due to the egr failure. Had the recall update but fca wouldn't extend my Warranty since I did not have service records. Which I find ridiculous since the culprit is an antifreeze issue not an oil issue. But I have up on the fight. Had my local me mechanic replace the turbo drove it about 200 miles and the motor blew yesterday. No warning. I step on the pedal and that was it.
Is it worth trusting a mopar replacement? Or just buy used.

I'd find a used motor from a wreck if it was me. car-part.com and you can search in your area.

If I understand this correctly, You were denied AEM warranty because you could not provide service records?

Assuming you want to hang on to it for a while, I think you are better off buying a new/remanufactured engine, or rebuilding your current engine (rather than buying a used one).

A used engine might have a 90-day warranty if you are lucky, and you have no idea of the history. Factory long blocks and complete engines come with 1-3 year warranty depending on which one you get.

I've had personal experience with this- PM if you want details.
