Owner Made the WRONG CALL? 2018 Dodge Durango SRT 392 Engine "Failure" At Just 90,000 Miles

Video Description

Who says it doesn't pay to scroll through marketplace? Somehow the algorithm showed me this freshly listed and RUNNING 6.4L 2018 Durango 392 core engine for a crazy cheap price. I was told this engine had metal in the oil and sounded bad, but drove itself in for engine replacement. So how bad could it be if it drove itself in? Let's tear it down and find out.

My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto dismantling business. Part of our model includes buying blown up and bad engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage the good, sellable parts and recycle rest. No, we don't rebuild engines but we do sell parts to people who do! As always I hope you enjoyed this video.
