    Keep it and finish it.... Not your daily so what does it matter if it takes 1 month or 11 months. Question is are you building it for everybody else or for yourself?

    hey

    I am sure u know this but... No matter what you build it takes time...... It would be the same downtime in a notch or S10 and be alot worse to work on...... Why dont just get acceleronics 96s or 120s and be done??? everyone crys about a box but they have never tuned one... its EASY ....... and complete setup only around 650 bucks Mine has been down a year+ .. If you didnt have the truck apart it would be something else..... Dont have to Blame the truck

    Another with a downed truck here. As members have already mentioned, projects like yours take time. I personally believe that the more time it takes, the more headaches you endure, the happier you'll be with it in the end and the more pride you will have......becuase YOU are putting in the time and effort. My truck has been down for about 3 weeks so I know the feeling. Just stick with it, and you'll be happy when it's finally done. Hang in there!

    That is true. It is for sure for me. If I was building for everyone else it would be just your run of the mill cookie cutter that seems to be popping up all the time.

    You make a good point. At least I am smart enough to leave the Armada alone. LOL. I am dropping some more stuff off tomorrow for Powder coating.

    With mine the way I see it my rear end is pretty strong I switched to the 80e so that's good and apparently my motor isnt going anywhere so once I iron out the nitrous and get the truck looking pretty I can drive it and enjoy it, so a little more BS and ill be good to go for a while, until its time to go faster

    Mark I have done this back and forth thing the last year. It gets old just putting around town in it. But if its paid off then I would keep it most likely. I'd love to get rid of mine real quick and just not mod again, only because I decided to never take that next "huge plunge" into the big 5 digit $ builds. But it being paid off, and it not being expensive to get AC back in it and make it ride more smooth makes me keep mine.

    When you have the go fast bug it's kind of like the shampoo bottle.

    Race, Rebuild, Repeat...Race, Rebuild, Repeat...Race, Rebuild, Repeat...


    Seems like it is never ending, you're never satisfied, everything takes twice as long as you thought it would and costs four times a much as you thought it would. I mean I haven't even finished my first Turbo build and supporting mods, etc and all I seem to think about is the next build I want to do with a LSX/Large Turbo.

    I have seen some good people move away from the game recently and personally I hope you stick with it, keep the truck, finish it up, make it fast as hell and enjoy the hell out of it!!!

    That's just my and I haven't even met you yet or seen your truck.

    Keep it!!! You'll regret not finishing it if you get rid of it! My truck has been running about a month or two out of the almost two years ive had it... It takes time but it's worth it!
