well the problem with that is that it would take about 2K just to get the ford to where this chevy is. and it still wouldnt have a turbo or near as much power/torque. that would get me a moose IP and maybe some pistons/rings for my 6.9

neither am i. its got a remanned VP44 on it and somethings wrong with it. it only pushes about 35-40% hp for most of the time. and then out of the blue for maybe a couple minutes to a couple seconds it will go back to full power and then back to the bog.... almost like limp mode but no check engine light

So get new battery cables...
Can't help you with the batteries but my IDI is going to the junkyard in 2 days, and it's got brand new solder terminal - 3/0 cables on it, and a good-shape factory + cable on it. I'd make you a package deal.
Chevy... meh.

well bring it on down. aslong as its all free truck and trip lol i dont have any money as of yet itll be here the end of the week lol but yeah i dont really feel like putting that much money into a wore out truck. sure everything in about 10 years would be brand new(ish) but... its served its duty to me. ive taken it places it never should have gone and it excelled. above and beyond the call of any pickup.
