I have an 89 v6 regular cab with about 116000 miles on it. Today a bad knock started in the engine and it got worse until I got to work where I had a Tech listen to it. After a half an hour of puttsing with the truck he said I had a piston slaming the head on the #4 cyl. I trust him so i am taking his advice to crack open the engine and take a look. Before I do this though I need some opinons. In the best case scenario I replace the rod, piston, valves and head. Worst case scenario, I do an engine swap. I have spent a great deal of money in this truck and have yet to even pay it off. Should I:
1)Rebuild engine
2)Swap engine
3)Part out truck and try to make some money back on it.
4)Sell it to one of you guys as is.
5)Smash it up and report it stolen.

Any advice is great but I need to be realistic, and spending thousands of dollars to fix this is not realistic. <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
