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.

i HAVE A buddy who lost his car same way had about 30k in mods.
Did your homeowners and car insurance pay you off. I think you said tey will cover 80k. His homeowners is only giving him the cost of the car and insurance wont cover squat.
So just seeing how you did it cause you said they both will pay for it

I hope the new build goes beautifully for you man! Can't wait to see a TVS 2300 on a 434ci. Should make Harley Earl roll in his grave thinking about the power and torque!
