Thanks Toyo!! I do have a friend who's dad owns a machine shop and he works daily for him, so I will be getting a nice price break, thank goodness!! Now, is it worth doing ? Is the bottom end going to hold up? Or a chance worth taking? I have 155,000 miles on this 2nd motor, but its a hell of a nice truck! 4" lift 35x12.50 on Mikey Thompson baja claws, Mickey 15x10 rims, Skyjacker suspension system,and much more! OH, did I tell you it looks like Paris Hilton, but runs like one-legged man in @ss whoopin contest <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Anymore replies will help, so THANKS!!
