Re-build fried engine?

[barf]

I have a CM2350 that died. No warning lights or beeper, and I wasn't thinking to check the gauges, but they had to be within range. Engine seized! Got it towed into shop, they dropped oil pan to see carnage.



This shop told me that I need a new engine (used and they will re-build it). I know it needs a new crankshaft so it has to be pulled out, but my question is: Can't a shop just re-build this engine, replacing all worn parts? Or, is it just cheaper to replace?

Unfortunately this truck has an auto-shi#t trans, so replacing with a CM871 is most likely out of the question?



Waterloo was right, I should have done everything in my power to re-build my CM871 when it died. This truck has been a financial nightmare. A really low mileage truck that shouldn't be having the problems it has.
