swapping in a 6.0 would be way more trouble than its worth for me. The 350 will do me just fine! Simple to work on, engines are cheap, and parts are cheap to. Just wish i had the money laying around to buy it!

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new to me quad. Its lifted and has 30" tires under it. Only 852 miles and 222 hours. Seems really low to me for an 07. He wants 5500 but pretty sure when I wave cash in his face he'll take less

Really not a lot of miles, but the hours are a little high. Its a brute force 750. I'm pretty sure he will take less if I got a fat stack of cash in his face. And prices here in VA, DC and MD are pretty high just because when the economy crashed, we didn't for the most part. I would obviously try and talk him down and check out the quad real good before I do anything.

 

I saw a quad with 2500 miles and he wanted 4200. And then a 650i with 19 hours for 4700. Just depends where you look

 

 

What would you think is a fair price for it? I just looked it up on nadaguides.com and they said anywhere between 4k and 5k. I was gonna offer him 4k, but what do you think is a fair price for it? That is, if everything checks out

Look up built 4L60E's on Google from a reputable shop and see what they do. Mine has a wider 1-2 band and vette servo. I think that's all the guy that rebuilt mine did. Has held up to 35's for over a year and 4.88's for a month in a half, which is a hard launch off every stop and a few burnouts lol

If you're sticking with 33's I'd do 4.56 Sarah, it will have a lot more go and about the same mileage. With 4.56 and a tune it'll be a new truck.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
