.................................................. .............
well there you have it...
I am not 100% sure I am going to get rid of it, but if someone offers me a deal, I may not be able to turn them down.....

Daniel

well if ur getting rid of the truck, please take the thunder name with u, i think its ur name haha like i couldnt leave it like that id just shave it off and save it for later. bad ass truck, y u getting rid of it? also what u plannin on gettin??? :burnout:

Damn...everyone, including me is thinking about selling their truck. I know gas is eating me alive, I'm up to about 600 a month for myself and if you include the wife we're at 900 a month. I'm making two mortgage payments... :eek: Good luck on the sell if you do decide to get rid of it...By the way if it helps to anyone looking, this truck is easily capable of hitting 12's w/ some slicks, the 13.2 run was made on street tires while spinning...

lets just say I wont be down grading, and it will be a Chevy

trying to work a deal out..

thats awesome u pulled those numbers out of a 4.8, and without going FI&#33; how many times did u replace stuff? haha &#036;19,000 seems like a ton to spend on a 4.8, im wondering if it&#39;ll take that much to get my 6.0 to 12&#39;s in the quarter?

the transmission was the worst problem I ran into..I spent 11,000 just on transmissions
that was finding someone that could actually build one..
as far as everything else I have only done the cam once, and the rebuild was to repair a damaged valve stem..
so I decided to redo the whole top end while I was there..

new lifters, new seats.. ETC,,
only thing left orriginal on the motor is the crank, and pistons..
the chambers hand no scratches at all on the walls..
you could even still see the cross hatching that is done a the factory when they hone the walls..

a 6.0L in the 12&#39;s shouldnt be that hard to get there..
cam and a stall with some gears, and you should be there.

no u cant sell it. illtrade u 1 4.8 for another 4.8 lol j/k

Thats just it.. I did pay that much for each one...

thats what happens when you think your getting a bad ass transmission but instead your getting nothing..
they eventually lost their ass on that deal..
as many times as they had to rebuild it under warranty...

the current one i have is the best one, and was built by a totally diffrent shop..

TTT...
Give me an offer.....
I might take you up on it.. if it&#39;s reasonable

i know thunder u wouldnt want my truck anyways. got to many problems. most with the tranny hmmm i wonder why lol

My dad owns a tranny shop and builds killer 4l60&#39;s and 80&#39;s
