Everybody knows shorties dont give enough.

I have the internal struggle...Dynatech Longtubes & SS Exhaust, or tuner. Fish or cut bait...

That shop your truck is in is much nicer than the hole I'm in.

I should say its out of the shop and in my driveway.

I took it in two Mondays ago. They diagnosed a "new motor" on Wednesday. The replacement motor was delivered on Friday. The tech was available by Wednesday. The pictures were taken on Thursday, and he was done by 1pm yesterday-I picked it up @ 5.

Drive home impression: New Motor is quieter than old one.
