The truck for sale is my daily driver and has been since I bought it in 2008. I had it converted to the 5.3 Vortec soon after I drove it home from St. Louis Mo. I realized my original Toyota motor with 240000 miles was spent and underpowered. The prospect of rebuilding a 160 HP (at most) straight 6 engine versus a 300 HP V8 conversion for the same costs made my decision for me. The engine that is in it now is a 2003 Vortec which came with it's original transmission; a 4L60E from a wrecked truck with low miles. It has performed great. I've driven it every day for 5 or 6 years. It has a transmission maximizer kit from TCI that makes the 2nd shift rather strong. In other words, it will bark the 33 's going into 2nd gear if you aren't careful. That's not a plus unless your racing someone, which I don't. But it is what it is. The good is it has cold A/C, it has a rebuilt transfer case (recent), it's frame and floor boards are solid with no rust. It has a 2'' lift so it looks very strong and it has 33'' BFG ALT tires with a full spare. It has a modern Computer which came with the engine, Dual exhaust, headers, magnaflow mufflers with a H pipe. 2 inch lift by way of shackles. New Front Seat covers by Wetokolee out of Hawaii. $3800.00
