Huh,:rolleyes:
Just go's to show I don’t know where these things end up now-a-days, I thought this one was headed out of the country but sales put it on eBay. I guess the days of that Colorado 60K per truck dude are officially over! Hope he sold his truck when he could.

You guys should have seen the donor, hit in the rear and both sides, not a lick of glass in it. When the sales dept had it shipped in I thought WTF? But I jumped in and NOT EVEN A "CHECK ENG LIGHT":eek: it ran perfect and even drove relatively straight. Just go's to show how well built our trucks are.

It looks like you once again made another DURABAURB that looks like GM should have made it. I did notice though they put 580 for the torque in the ad when the LBZ is 650. How much trouble did the LBZ give you with vehicle communications? I know in 06 they added in the CANDI system to em which changed some com links in the vehicle.

I would have loved to have bought one these for my wife instead of the tiny Furd that she bought.

huh, your right.
Honestly fermanator I didn't even read the listing till you said that about tq. Theres a few mistakes in it actually, I'll have to raz "G" in the morning. He's a good kid and a stand up business man with a perfect track record, a VW diesel kid actually. He looks like a surfer dude from Bill & Ted's excellent adventures, He knew what I was doing last year but didn't get it until I handed him keys to the red TowPro last month. 1 day of driving it and he swore off all 14 VW's in stock and proclaimed "THIS IS THE SH!T BABY!!!!" Now he's just as much if not a worse Dmax SUV Junkie then me. We are booked till April but then he has plans (if we can fit it in realistically) for an 03-06 2wd SS Tahoe, Silverado front clip, dropped 2", 11.5" rear, LBZ tuned through the roof. shooed with 325/22's on the rear. I just laugh at him and go back to work. I don't know whos worse him or me and the guys at the shop.

Very cool.

I often wonder why GM didn't do a duramax SUV like ford put the 6.0 in the Excursion

I would buy it in a heartbeat

Yea Wally, GM dump it. They just aren't in a position to put any money into themselves until they can get everyone else paid off. I would like to think that the 4.5 would be a great idea but looking at its 300HP and looking back at internationals' 6.0 I wonder how dependable it would have been.

Hey floriduramax, nice to see ya again, How’s Sanford? yea these things are becoming a regular occurrence around here now.

I don't know Utah, seems to me your MPI motor in a burb or a SS Hoe would be the ultimate SUV for all to fear.

Well green bring your dually in and a week later we will hand you a burb, (and a bunch of extra parts) how about w/Fantom flares and dually rear? I saw one once in Google images somewhere. The options are only limited by your imagination. Well and wallet for most of us.
