I have a chance to buy an 04 2500HD truck that's been totaled out at a really good price. I plan to use some of the parts to upgrade my truck and replace some worn out stuff but am considering selling the engine and transmission out of it. The truck has approximately 148,000 mi on it and all the maintenance is documented since I am buying it from a guy who got it from my work (it's a fleet vehicle). It's been sitting in his basement for 4-5 years. The engine starts and runs but the truck can't be driven due to suspension damage so I'll be towing it home. Suggestions on what to price it at if I decide to sell the motor and transmission?

If you are going to part it out, I'm looking for some B pillar molding if you are interested in selling.

Is it a 4wd or 2wd?

150K mile running core $750-1200.00. To many low miles ones around to get much more

Not you, the OP. lol.

$1100 for both with the harness in good condition. $700 if its a 4wd.

It's a 4 wheel drive - thought I'd mentioned that but I guess I didn't. Yes, I will be parting it out after I get what I need to fix my personal truck. I should have the truck within 2 weeks. Not sure why anyone would consider a running fully documented and maintained engine a "core" since these engines will easily run 300,000 plus miles with proper maintenance but that's ok. This gives me an idea of what I need to do.

I finally had time to go get the truck today. Put a battery in it and the engine started right up. I've decided to put the engine out of the wrecked truck in my truck and then sell my high mileage motor plus the trans, transfer case, and any other bits I can sell. If anyone is interested, PM me. I'll make you a good deal on the engine with the harness, PCM, TAC module, and all the other important stuff like engine accessories, etc. The engine runs great but I would rebuild it due to the mileage (300,731). The donor truck has 149,xxx verified today.

Thanks!
