BUT with no more motor than you have, the gear youd have to run for those tires the truck body will never get muddy because it wont be able to turn the tires

 

and i know youd go bigger tires with the Rocks, that was what i was trying to get at, youve got a better chance of turning your 40's decent in the mud than you do with 49's or 54's what ever you ended up with

 

Even with 6.72s and a doubler?

Hmmmm... I see. Oh well it is how it is for now till its done.

Got the engine in and running today but have a water leak in the back. Still cant figure it out afraid I need to pull the intake though.

 

I doubt itll ever turn super hard, not with a stock 5.4 anyways

 

Found the problem its a bent hard waterline in the very back its broke at the manifold. I can say with 99% certainty we didnt bend it because we were so gentle putting it in. But who knows.

Either way I dont know what to do to fix it. Its too close to the manifold to weld. Almost need to pull it out and get a new one in there if thats even possible. Or just use RTV which I do not want to do.

NOt sure where to go from here till I talk to napa tomorrow and see if they can get me the part.
