No rust on the West Coast.how are the rust problems in Brazil?
in parts of the U.S. rust is what dooms many vehicles before the mechanicals have time to wear out.
I'm preparing to replace the engine in my 2005, it has 356,000 miles and is due for a "few" parts.

Because PetroleumJunkie412 likes the 2.9l engines, seems to be one of the few remaining people on the planet that doesWhy?
In Brazil, He might be able to get a diesel from a Ranger.If this guy is in Brazil he probably has access to plenty of diesel engines that we have never had in the states, why not grab one from a tractor or volvo car, probably car use the transmission I think Volvo made rwd diesel cars.
But the same as swapping in any different engine, cost goes up with "different", lolIn Brazil, He might be able to get a diesel from a Ranger.
Here is the million dollar question, how much does he love this truck? Unless he has some sort of sentimental attachment to this truck then factory fix it or scrap and get something else you always wanted have. It's always going to be cheaper to fix the truck the way it was built (unless you have a 01 mazda 2300 with that fancy 2.3 in, it then your looking at 850 bucks for a engine with 130k on it with no warranty lol) I know I wont make any friends saying this on here but If I could find a Diesel Hilux I would get one of those. Just because they are good trucks as much as I hate Toyota in the American market.But the same as swapping in any different engine, cost goes up with "different", lol
Fact it came from a Ranger may help but not much, think of a 3.0l to 4.0l swap, different computer, transmission and wiring PLUS the engine
Just repairing the engine is cheaper, or swapping in same engine as available
