These 4.8 vs 5.3 debates always remind of the old very brutal 4.6(mustang) vs 5.0(mustang) debates on the ford forums

Hey Keuaka- i will smoke your slow z71 anytime buddy. just killed a 02 z71 5.3 regcab by a frickin mile. ...and thats faster than ur weak 99'. why are you even giving performance opinions when your trucks a heavy *** tank? go 4 wheel drivin! yiiippeee

as for the 4.8 vs 5.3... yes the 5.3 is faster everything being equal. but its not by much, they have the same top-end. now people will ofcourse disagree. but still, i have never seen a side by side video of two equal trucks except ones 4.8 and the others 5.3.
hey buddy, there is a reason why i have a heavy truck. it is more practical for me and the things i like to do. and yes, i did just go 4wheelin the other day. got stuck too. twice. in mud. it was fun, but still i was shittin my pants. plus i live in a place where it snows 8 months out of the year. i love passing and laughing at those who own 2wd at the rear wheels, car or truck. up in this country, it is a waste of money buying a 2wd pickup. and as for the Ext cab, i get so much use out of it, plus it looks a **** load better than reg cab. i know some **** about trucks, but i definitely don't know it all. i have more of a life outside my truck. try teaching high school kids all day long and put up with the way they treat adults these days. i was just called a ******* ****** the other day. so don't criticize me and treat me like i'm a worthless piece of ****. you act like some of the students that go the HS where i work.

Hey guys I was only asking a question! Don't get so uptight with each other! I'm learning more and more with every post!

So far, I have definitely decided I will get the Diablo Predator and the 180* thermostat. After that, we'll see. Probably something with the tranny.

Thanks,
Josh Hucks

ya, thunder is the uptight one. just do a search and you'll find that he likes to get a rise out of people and talk smack. not sure why he doesn't post any times along with his mods.
