My 89 V6 monty is losing coolant pretty badly, it looks and smells as though it's going out the exhaust. The truck has 238k miles so I'm not exactly surprised. Also, the fan clutch went bad last summer and it got pretty hot in traffic a few times, so that's probably what did it. The fan clutch has since been replaced. My two questions are as follows.

(1) How much would it cost, ballpark, to have this repair done by a shop? I'm not equipped to do it myself.

(2) How much is the truck worth as is? It's got the offroad package, the tranny is good, the LSD and 4wd work great, the body is not bad, everything else works on the truck. It actually runs fine, and you wouldn't know the problem unless you check the coolant level.

My two options right now are cough up the $$ to fix it, or sell it as is and get something more appropriate to my commuting needs (a 4 cyl car, I want a miata).

I like the monty but in reality I don't need it. also, anyone in socal that might be interested in the truck, let me know.
