yeah I know, Im doing a lot to the truck so I didn't have the money for aftermarket heads, so I just went with OEM replacements.....my old heads where so bad I couldn't even get a machine shop to work on them

Cool just wanted to make sure so you aren't ticked off not able to get your truck back together or money for useless to you heads.

yeah iv sank a good amount into it so far, iv got new heads, headers, radiator, trans oil cooler, and I need to look into what exhaust system to get. I want to go with true duels but idk about the cost for that. I also have to figure out why the transmission is shifting hard from 1st to 2nd? I already did a trans flush with new filter and there was no metal or anything in the old fluid or magnet so im guessing it might be the TPS or somthing
