kinda getting the power itch again...

so i work at a dealership and ive been thinkin about tradin in my truck on a 2wd again. i miss the power. i know now you cant have go fast and go big all in the same package. but im affraid i would regret the swap back.
we have a SCSB v6 on the lot which would be great for a driver till i could slowly build me a 6.0 to swap in but then i would need the harnest and all.
so i have been thinkin of making a deal with myself, if the right truck came in(SS,SCSB 5.3, or VMAX,possibly a Excab 5.3) i would trade in.... possibly. am i nuts?

ive also thought about taking the body lift off my truck, takin my add a leaf out(cali lean), and runnin 33x13.50/14.50, and buildin a 6.0 to swap in. but i already have 4.88 gears so i'd have to go all the way back through and change to like 4.56

Dang man, that is a lot of work just to get back to something that will never be as quick as the RCSB you are thinking about.

I would go with a RCSB truck, but I would go for one with a V8, since the wiring harness is already in place.

yeah man there are plenty of good deals on v8 rcsb trucks, just be patient and find the one youre looking for. I did and I absolutely love my truck, warts and all

question, at the NNBS(07-09) trucks heavier than the NBS(00-06)?
i know it takes one hell of a drop kit to make these brand new ones look low! lol

Yeah, they're a little heavier IIRC.

yeah but the heads on the new 5.3's make enough power to compinsate.
So get a new RCSB w/5.3. FTW!!!

This is true unless you get one hell of a deal on a V6 truck and then another deal on everything needed for the swap. I got every single part I need for my swap for 1300, which is much less then I'd spend to sell my truck and buy a 5.3 equipped equivalent, if I could even find one. I've had the swap planned since the truck was delivered in June '06 if you can wait you can score a deal.

You need a lighter vehicle for your speed fix. Buy a GTO or trade your truck in on an colorado with the 5.3.

ide just drop your z71,take the lifts off,slap on some 17's with 4.10's ..AWD !! haha

lol no im not a car guy. i was just asking the difference in the NBS and the NNBS as far a wieght because the 07+ look bigger is all

sit on the ground, do you like staring at cars bumpers? NO




keep the lifted truck





ooooor, take off the body lift, get some 33's and enjoy the 4.88 gear, it'll be pretty quick....just suck gas on the highway.

yeah i already run 2300 at 70mph now! LOL

I would just keep the truck you have and then buy a cheaper rcsb and fix it up. Then you have the best of both worlds:hyper2:
