If the tires are good, you might want to keep them

Can't limp it home at 30mph? Granted that's a long haul but easier to replace an engine than everything else. First listing is $1600. Don't know anything about 5.9s. Apparently there are 12 valve and 24 valve.

The block is cracked. Its done. I only have 2500 in the bus. It will cost that or more for a new engine installed. I'm on the road and don't have a place or way too switch out a motor

good deal, if it has an MD-3060 in it then it likely has a 6th gear that is computer locked.
if it has an allison 2000 series. and is PRE-2006 then the 6th gear requires mechanical changes and computer changes.
I didnt see what trans you have.

This one is relatively rusty free. It has some front end noise i assume to be leafs rubbing.
