That should last until I can afford to build a 408(after college...and high school...)
You should likely get a second opinion as I am not very well learned in that area, but that's what it points to for me.

no. been to busy to call them and see if they figured it out. i have a feeling they will never really straighten it out. i may just make my own passenger floor pan when i have time or make the current fix a bit more permanent. cut up the old drivers floor pan and used some self tapping screws to screw it down to the passenger side supports.

That sucks. I would think modifying the other drivers side might work.

Cylinder 5 and 7 leaked down at a decent speed after the last cycle
Truck has 185,000 miles and blue smoke comes out on startup. The oil is also pretty milky and has been in for only 30 miles.
What do you think is causing these numbers?
I'm betting on blown headgaskets.

Do a wet test as well, and see what the numbers do.

drivers header was thought to be hitting the frame, come to find out its the passenger header hitting the trans pan lip.... WTF! pics later to show dent.
