k this is my deal, i want a supercharger but my truck its a 2000 5.3 and has 123,000 miles on it k, and i duno if the tranny and rear end that stuff will hold up, i need advise and info on what you guys think if it will or not. thanks

 

My Advice....

The 5.3 Is A Great Motor.... But It Is Definitely Getting Old At 125,000. It May Hold Up For 20 Miles Or 20,000

The Trans If Its The Original.... Will Probably Be On Its Way Out Soon... If Its The 4l60e Which Im Sure It Is.... It Will Most Likely Blow Up Very Quickly When Dealing With Blown Power

The Diff Should Be Fine As Long As Its Been Well Maintained.

 

thanks man n e more info?

 

Well Tell Me What You Wanna Know

 

lol i duno i guess you just told me what i was askin that it wont hold up for much longer so i duno if im goin to blow it thanks.

 

If I were you, which I'm not, I'd spend the money elsewhere. If you plan on keeping your truck...the $4500 or more could go to a new 6.0 for about $2000 or so, and a new level 5 trans for about $2-$2500. Then you would have a NEW motor and NEW trans. You could remove the TM at that point and with a few bolt on's run in the low 14's or better. With the blower you'd run about the same...unless you upped the boost...and then it would hurt the trans and possibly the motor. It would basically be a ticking time bomb. The new motor and new trans would put NEW life back into your truck. Thats my 2 cents.

 

thanks alot man that really helps.

 

If i was you id do a compression test on your motor to see the condition that its in before i made any choices.

 

SORRY MAN HOPE I DIDNT SEEM RUDE..... JUST TRYIN TO SAY THAT THE 4L60E LIKE MOST OF US HAVE FOUND OUT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE AND VERY WEAK PAPERWEIGHT...

I HAVE A 2006 1500 AND IM ALREADY MAKING PLANS FOR WHEN MINE GOES BOOM

 

definitely need a new tranny and personally i wouldnt supercharge a motor with over 100k miles on it but its all up to you

id also suggest a aftermarket limited-slip for the rear
