He's in KC and would like to find a good rebuilt 360 for it. That is about his only option and can't be without a second vehicle for an extended amount of time. Any and all ideas appreciated.

I drove that truck for 18 years without a problem so it very well could be time to check it out. 2020 RAM Longhorn 4x4 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

Its very common for those to blow the gasket and cause oil consumption. If that is the issue, a functioning catalytic converter will burn up the oil and you will not see a leak on the ground. 1986 Dodge Ramcharger 440 2wd, Bracket Racer Under Construction 1998 Ram 2500 QuadCab, new daily driver. 2008 Honda Element 2014 Carry-On 7x14 Cargo Trailer
