the piles of money on the 4.8 is what killed me now. I was making twice the money then. I would buy a motor from a sponser but I can't come across that kind of money all at once. Not to mention when you blow a tranny 4 times in 6 months that will kill any type of saving account you might have. I do feel dumb for the ebay ordeal because now I may be out $500. I can put a motor together myself, and I thought I would go ahead and swap motors when I buy a tranny. The motor on ebay was just a great deal at the time but Im not so sure of that now. It pisses me off so much that I refuse to let myself keep my 4.8 in. I have had the worst of luck in the last year in a half it is not even funny. Betwwen me having my $12000.00 drum set stole,losing a great job (over BS), my tranny blowing up almost once a month, and now getting ripped for $500 I just don't know what to do. I have made up my mind not to let my truck touch the road unless it has a 6.0 in it, rather I build it or someone else does. Sorry about the blah blah but I just emailed the seller of the motor again. I guess I may start looking for another motor and try to recover some of my funds. The thing I look foward to everyday now is this website. There have been some great people here giving me info and trying to help in every way with this ebay sell gone bad. I will stop now and have a beer

Thanks for sharing.Even though you spent money on all the bolt-ons at least you have a good base for future mods.I will personally try and help you get the best bang for the buck for future mods ,just as everyone here that has "been there done that"So dont kick your own *** to baddly.If you have a dependable truck now then that is all that matters,save what you can and when the time comes you can get the performance you want with a little patiance.Just dont become impulsive.

well my boss for the last year is a great guy and loaned me the company truck I drive. He allows me to drive it home now since my tranny kicked the bucket. Even though I am not making the money I use to the job is great. I will have to learn how to have a little more patiance.
