so im selling an old truck for around 5k or so ill have 5k and then money i usally spend on parts
i thinking going fi on my 04 silverado and headers and in a couple weeks after that getting a new trans
but i was thinking mabye i should buy a single cab with a 5.3 and work on that, that way i have a second vehicle
my isssue is i dont know what to do my 04 has a 6in lift and 35's so preformance is sucking big time.
but then again if i break it im kinda screwed getting to work

anyone have any input

 

I moved this to the Truck Stop for ya

5K isnt enough to go FI expecially on a lifted truck with big wheels. I'd look for a good depedable beater for a DD myself.

 

FI is going to be expensive. You'd need a built transmission plus labor costs unless you wanted to do it yourself. You'd probably need closer to $10,000 to do it right.

 

well i know where i can get a procharger setup for right under 5k
and i can do all the labor on that
and i have a very good connection with a transmission shop

i just dont know wether i want to do all that to the 04 or just buy a single cab short bed and wait till i have more cash and put the fi on the single cab

 

i would use the money and build everything else in preparation for a procharger and go FI later. built trans, good converter, tru-trac, ls6 cam, lts and full exhaust, wheatley (or equivalent) tune, etc

 

I'd save your money, cars and trucks are a waste of it.......

 

If you dont already have 6 months worth money to pay all your bills saved up I would save all of it. With the way the job market is anyone can be out of a job at anytime.

 

I've always told people who ask these kinds of questions to save or invest it. Usually by the time they post a question they've already made up their mind so it is useless to try to convince them otherwise.

 

ok so its 5k extra unexpected cash
and everything thats any fun is usally a wast of money
if i dont spend it on my truck or another truck it will most likely get soen on a bunch of stupid worthless crap

 

Then put it into a 6 month or 1 year CD so you can't touch it. Having money for retirement is fun and isn't a waste of money.
