Oh.. 100% sure im getting the 5.9.. deciding on the stroker or just bolt ons... if the strokers get around 10 - 15 will go with it..

 

I'm get between 13-15.

You know it's not that I doubt your inentions, and I definetly think it's worthwhile project, but you know this is going to cost you thousands of dollars right? and if you're going to stroke it go ahead and take that price and triple it. I mean if you have the money or are willing to put that much money into this project... why does it really matter if it gets crappy mileage?

 

You know while you're getting a donor truck it woulnd't hurt spend an extra couple bucks there and get a 4x4 and do the whole conversion. You'll get a stronger transmission out of the deal too. Can't really go wrong there...

 

Because im at the point were I will have about a year or 2 to just blow money on myself.. I want to do this and have anice truck.. but I also know that down the road i want to be able to keep my truck.. and not just sell it ... but yea you are right.. still would like to know? =b

 

yea cereal is right man, like the truck is goin to nickel and dime you to death, with all the little things you are going to need.

 

yea.. thats what i've heard.. not really looking for a ****in truck that will pull a house.. so ill just do the 5.9 swap and build it myself =D.. will be fun.. still looking for performance parts to use

 

have you thought about going to a junk yard and just getting a truck with the 5.9 in it that still has all the parts to run it

 

Yesir.. my plan junk yard or insurance auction! for the donor truck..
