Default What do I do. Need a little help

The trucks got 150k+ on the clock. I don't know if I'm bored with it or what, but I'd like to either get a short block for it or get a WS6 (get rid of the truck). The short block would be a 370 with higher compression (11.0:1, no intent of going FI, too much money) using block, crank and heads, and get new forged rods / pistons and all new bearings. I want to do it that way, so I can keep it around $2K. I also need to rebuild the front diff, and that isn't cheap. The other option is to sell it, get a WS6 and suffer through the winters. Something tells me I know what I should do, but here is the problem. I have to sell the bike to fund this (whatever it turns out to be). The Bike is my gas saver and I do about 400 miles a week. The WS6 would be better on gas than my truck is, so which is the right choice here?

hmmm, i say keep the truck...you would regret it if you sold the truck. Why do you have to sell the bike? Cant you just keep it and save up to replace the short block? Or is it about to go already? Just a thought

so are you saying your truck isn't running right now??? if its running i don't see the reason to sell the bike. Just start saving.

that makes sense. I kinda figured that I'd sell the bike to appease the gods (wife). never really thought of it that way.
