Question
Well I took my truck into the shop today to get an oil change and for them to look at it b/c it was running rough, when they get done they tell me that there is not much they can do for my truck b/c of the miles on it, ok I knew that, then they tell me the reason its running rough is b/c the throttle body gets oil in it or something and the guy shows me how to clean it, cool, then he said there is 4 things I can do about it #1 rebuild it, #2 get an old ford mustang engine, #3 get a new crate engine, or #4 clean it every 5-6 months or sooner b/c over more miles it will get worse, so now to my point should I just rebuild it or go with a new engine, I know its personal preference and $$$ but just looking for some good input.
oh btw ive got 134,000 miles
Thanx

If he said get an old mustang engine i'm assuming your truck has a 302. I would rebuild the engine thats in there, but a crate engine will cost you a lot less in labor if you can find one cheap that has some sort of warrenty.
I would try replacing the pcv valve on your truck, that can stop a lot of the oil from going back up into the air cleaner for the time being.

The autoparts stores do have cheap engines with a warrenty, just remember the warrenty only covers the engine, you are responsible for paying the labor if it has to be replaced. I'm not sure how good those engines are inspected when they are assembled, i've never installed one. I have installed quite a few ATK and Jasper engines without a problem.
