From what I've seen they go from ~$5k for a drop out to $10k+ for a new motor. I would see no point in going for a brand new one, its a diesel, its overbuilt, and it will last forever.

Converting it to biodiesel is an interesting idea. It would be the best ride you could get once the zombie apocalypse comes.

The 6.6 is an amazing motor, people are hitting an easy 500whp with bolt ons and tuning. Unfortunately diesel tuning is over my head.
