Oofta... Well,

$2625.50 GB tranny (good for 100K, TC for life
$300 or so in stacks

$175 brakes
$100 U joints
$250 Reciever Hitch
$350 wheels and tires


Now I know for sure that if I wouldn't have gotten all that stuff it would have been paid off But it wouldn't be near as fun

 

so far as of right now I have 900 in the engine and 2650 in the tranny and clutch. Thats 3550 over all My next plans will be to add 400 bucks for head studs and 300 for the o-ringed head blus 100 bucks for the Head Gasket and 400 for turbo parts. total that and I will have 4750 by the end of next year. But that all should put me in the 450-500 HP range

I lost count after 6 grand. Got more boxes today. Turbo on the way. My truck bed is full of parts as is my living room

I need a vacation so I can work on my truck!

Thank God it is all paid for! Wife is talking about me moving into truck, she thinks...

Well, lets see, $34,000 for the truck and it's paid off . Plus about another $5000 so far. There is more on the horizon but I'm trying to fight the urge because the wifey is pregnant and I need to save a little $$$ for when she quits working... I've got another $5000 or so in things I'd like to do like turbo, injectors, TST, and full aftermarket trans to hold all that power.....

 

I have no idea what you are talking about Ed.

 

Well I had a little over $13,000.00 in my first gen which was SOLD for $12,000.00 in the end, and that was cause it was'nt clean enough for me, I hope to find a "PERFECT" one within a year and for the price.....we'll I guess thats going to be up to "How BAD I want a PERFECT truck" but I figure it will be close to the $15 K mark before we go through it !!!!

 

Just hit $16,000 since purchase... includes Bombs listed below; plus Siruis radio/Stereo/speakers, Nurf Bars, bumper, Bed Rails, 3 Mag Hy-Tec's, Rancho 9000's, TAG, 100psi Intercooler, Snow's H2O/Meth injection kit, tires and 2 downpipes. Also includes deductions for sold parts.

Maybe a doctor friend of mine (recently divorced) has the right idea...He now claims "when it comes to cars, boats, planes and women...I lease instead of buy!"

"Then I'm done, I swear"

Boy, if I had a dollar for every time my wife heard that one!

Just ordered the ATS manifold and some Jannety injectors. Then the guy I bought the high idle kit from calls my house tonite, while I am at work! I left instructions to call me on cell. I'm going to get it tomorrow, not the high idler, but me!

Dog just farted! Gotta Go! What the h-ll is he eating!!!!
