Yes I know what you mean, I don't ever plan on selling my truck. Its a blast to drive with this combo. Plenty of power and I get decent mgp. I did not believe everyone that said this truck has the power it does. The only thing I couldn't pull was a stump out of the ground and that was because I couldn't get enough traction lol.

Traction is hard to come by. I've been there myself, trying to pull a
stump out but couldn't get the traction.
Actually this happens to me a lot. Unless my tires are on something solid
I usually have issues with tire spin.
Can't pull that thorn bush out if your tires are spinning!

I forgot to tell you the only problem I ran into is that they sent 2 1/2in bolts. they where way to long. You need 2in.

Oh thanks buddy. I think one day I'll probably try the TBS swap. I may just wait when I have to rebuild my engine. I don't see the point in polishing a turd, ya know?

Ya know... Mythbusters proved that you can, indeed, do that.

ROFL! Haha!! I've seen parts of that episode.

I wonder if Mythbusters are done or if they're going to keep on making new episodes? I haven't seen anything new in a very long time.
