And I quote from the first post:
It has about 25k-30k miles on it and works perfect. The only reason I'm selling is because I ran my truck to lean and slung a rod bearing. I replaced the motor and tranny and pulled all of my mods out of the truck

The motor had around 85-90k miles on it when I put the charger on it. I only had a k&n air filter and programer the first 80k miles. I pulled the motor because I had a tapping issue after I let a guy test drive it. It ran lean because the battery was disconnected while the fuel sending unit was changed out. As soon as the install was done, I let the guy drive it. I didn't think about the computer needing to learn all the trim settings so it ran lean and started pinging real bad. Needless to say, now the motor taps. I didn't want to rebuild or troubleshoot it. I found a hell of a deal on an 06 model 5.3 with tranny for 2 grand with only 17k miles on it. I didn't want to put the charger or the mods back on if I'm just going to sell the truck. The old engine and tranny now has 126k miles on them.

The torque converter is a trailblazer SS converter I bought new. The tranny also has corvette servos. I'm willing to seperate anything. You guys just let me know what y'all want. I promise there are no issues with any of the mods I've listed. Just the motor and tranny have issues.

How about...you read MY question before you post up just to try and make me look like jackass, LMAO. I wasn't asking about the blower...pretty sure it was in regards to the ENGINE itself . Valiant effort...think I’ll pass this time, thanks.
