I did see that. But to cut up a brand new truck is something I'm not sure I want to do. Esp w a brand new engine. Warranties are great especially on a new combo. His truck is also a 2wd rcsb. It's an apples to oranges comparison. W the alt on the driver side and some other differences will a trick kit bolt right up like mine did for my nnbs???

It's very tempting but far to many variables

You're on borrowed time with that transmission. Buy a daily driver and keep it stock.

I wasn't talking about your kit bolting up. I am not sure it would but I was saying there is promising potential. As many are afraid of the direct injection.

I have to agree with everyone else... you need a daily driver thats stock. My truck is a daily driver, but I don't plan for it to be for long. I'm also lucky enough that when it goes down I have other cars I can borrow etc... not to mention its just me. No family to worry about here.

Your setup seems very reliable. I'd keep it and find a nice used suburban. Sub ~550hp isn't something I would worry over.

I enjoy your build threads too man

Yeah i think I have a plan. Leave the truck alone over the winter and come spring sell my mustang, de mod my truck, sell all the goodies, and trade it in on a newer CC w a 6.2. Then toss another Trick kit on it. There's my 500 wheel reliable truck.

The only problem is finding a nice used one

Thanks for reading my threads
