You can go to Kenne Bell or Paxton online to see what a SC would look like on a 5.2/5.9L. The pictures of the systems are mounted in those engines. The SC system has to be sealed from the SC to the TB, or it just has no benefit.

If you bought the truck thinking it was SC'd I feel sorry for you, but if you're trying to BS us about it, you know what you can go hose yourself. We've all seen SC'd magnum engines, some here have even installed them, so in all honesty we wouldn't be terribly impressed.

Has anyone ever seen a picture of icefreak?

Thats not going to help you that much. You'll spend more money repainting the truck (AGAIN) than it's worth. Plus anyone tha knows anything about cars, any knowledgeable dealer, will be able to tell if it's been painted, repainted a different color, then painted back.

ORIGINAL: richardpetty97

I only paid 6k for it but ill just repaint it to red how they gonna know? **** i didnt till some guys that wax my truck did some comlpicated investigating lol ill get the vin number later today to for you guys =), also everything on the truck is original except the jet chip.

Which part were told was the supercharger? You may want to go punch the guy who told you that, because he lied to you. Sorry.

Still a cool truck though.

Also i just called my friend who said i didnt have one and asked him how sure he was and he said he was 100% dead sure serious, i feel bad for the trees lol, hey it had to have been taken off after he bought it though right, cuz isnt it the law to have one?

That chrome thing you see is a differential cover on the rear end. The catalytic converter looks like a small muffler, and is located towards the front of the truck. Climb under there on the pass. side, and follow the downpipes from the engine. Where the downpipes come together, you should have the converter with an O2 sensor in it.

If you paid 6K for the truck, you did OK. If you want the thing to run real good, look at a bigger TB. FAstman has some kicka$$ TB's for your Magnum. The jet chip gets mixed reviews, if it's not giving you any engine lights you're probably OK.
