Thanks! It was a lot of fun.

Need some new tires on the actual 5 star chevy 17"s instead of the steel wheels that are on it now.

Then I gotta get rid of that v6 muffler I put on it.

I would love to bring that 4.8 torque curve up to match the 5.3's. If I could squeeze 40 ft/lbs more of torque out of the 4.8 I would be so happy.

Also, I have a couple spare cabs now with good glass. My front windshield has a crack, I want to remove the front windshield from another cab and replace the one on this truck. Thoughts? I also want to pull back glass from the Z71 cab b/c it is already tinted and swap it onto this truck.
