well from what you posted or mentioned you said (You can upgrade the V6 if you want but thats why I put you on a V6.
) i see a door still open or well he would like for you to keep the v6 in but if you go to v8 it would be ok also. like leaving you an option to make your own mind up... not to persuade you to go behind your parents back since they did buy the truck but just saying what i read ...

p.s. on a side note sorry to hear that bro!!! sounds like youre cuaght between a hard palce and a rock ..
