    Wrench always says that about my truck. He says stuff will take a bit longer, but to get my pieces remanned, no swaps.

    I don’t think anybody is arguing the viability of a good rebuilt engine. The problem comes in when you don’t know the history and parts reused. It’s kinda like buying a pig in a poke

    This KW isn't new, but I bet you get it for a song and a dance.

    I passed this guy on I-5 north today at the bottom of Smith Pass.

    Any and every driver fears that. Let us hope we never have to experience it

    I do own a chevy but only because the Yukon xl provides the most interior room, in a 1500, and I average 22 on the highway can hit 24 at times, I am a dodge person though.
