Since this is a car dealer selling it and not the original owner, it seems to me that the car dealer got handed a ton of BS by the owner and believed it. Now they are trying to sell it for way more than it's worth, and to people like us here who actually know these trucks, they look like idiots .

Yeah, it's tough. I LOVE the chrome 99-00 rims. I'm not a big fan of the "bulky" looking bed covers though. And the headlamp/grille bezel, well, to me that just looks like they got one at a junk yard and slapped it on. Maybe if there was other black stuff.

"480HP?
Just so you now, that truck does not make 480hp. If thats what the original owner told you, he was lying. First of all im pretty damn sure that the S/C pulley is stock. If it does have an upgraded MAF, its more than likely a 90MM MAF and that filter kit he has on there is designed for a 80MM MAF, which means that the MAF is not adding any power since the air opening is still 80MM just like stock. Pretty much the only performance mods on that truck that give power is the pulley, chip, filter/MAF, and throttle body. I know many people with that combo of mods plus a little more that barely make 400RWHP. So, not trying to bash you or anything but, just so you know, that truck does not make 480hp!"

Lets see if he responds!

Still even that assumption is a bit outrageous.......

480/1.12 = 429 I doubt it is making 429 rwhp (considering 12% loss)

The best fight woulda been beetlejuice vs. hank the drunken(angry) dwarf. Too bad he passed. This mornings show with the girl and her vibrating friend was awesome.
