Hello all. So I was recently on a trip from Ca to Tx. 2010 1500 Laramie 4x4 Truck decided to go down on me at the furthest point from home, and had to have it towed home. My question is, I'm told that the engine suffered a catastrophic failure, rounded a cam lobe. Prior to the problem, I never had any heating issues, never had any smoking, or any weird sounds. Truck runs ok under 30mph, but terrible if you try to go faster. I've been to 2 different shops one in Tx, one in CA, and they both gave same diagnosis. So the local shop is recommending an engine replacement with a Jasper motor. Total cost of replacement, including install/labor, all parts is $9700. First off, is Jasper a quality product, and second, does that quote sound reasonable? I've no experience as a mechanic, so any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Question for you who have done an engine replacement. I know the speedometer can't be reset, but can the "hours" display under vehicle information be reset to zero? Garage told me there is no way to change that and I'm wondering if that is accurate. T.I.A.
