Rebuild or Replace?????
Hey all,
I am picking up a 2000 Limited for little to next to nothing. The only issue is that current owner says that the motor is seized. She got an oil change done at jiffy lube and went home afterwards. The next morning she got in it and started towards work. Approx 50 yards from her house is quit running. She believes they put too much oil in it as it is way past the "full" mark on the dip stick. My question is this, Do i just rebuild the motor or do I do a short block. I have the garage to work on it and this would be a 3rd vehicle (for now).
Thanks in advance for your info.
Matt
