Did I get ripped off for $5160?

There's a guy on ih8mud, cnorm5623, that's done this swap using a first gen cummins he's getting around 16mpg.

 

that's gonna be awesome man. hope it all works out for you

 

To answer part of the question, the police will not be of help. It's a civil matter since you essentially entered into a contract with him. Doesn't meet the legal criteria of a crime (theft). If he doesn't follow through you would have to file a civil case, or drive the 38 hours and kick some ass.

 

I messaged Dustin Allmaras on eBay and he replied! Said parts would ship yesterday, and still no shipping update, what a doosh!!

 

148 days and I'm still waiting

 

I would be calling everyday and emailing everyday

 

I went ahead and put the cummins in the cruiser its a tight fit.
