Thought it was about time for an update,
bought another 04 Denali with 78,000 miles.
it is in kinda rough shape and I really don't like driving it. every time I drive it and I hear a rattle, shake or noise that my other Truck didn't have I get kinda bummed out. So the other day when I was driving it I started thinking that I need to do something with this.


SO LET THE NEW BUILD BEGIN

my old truck is now at Synergy Motorsports,
the engine will be pulled out and gone through, the compression ratio will be raised in preparation for the TVS 2300 to be put on it.
Heads will be sent in to see if they can be saved and Finish line Transmission we be doing my transmission again.

all new Leather interior will be put in along with all new dash pieces.
I will need a complete new paint job on it because there is no way to make this paint job look anywhere close to my old truck.
I like Silver Birch (pewter) so I will paint it that color again but with either more metal flake or Pearl, something to make it POP!!!!!!!!!
anywY I will keep you guys posted.

So if I'm correct the 438 might be salvagable? Taking everything off the old one that is still good?
