Here is the thing. Right now I'm pretty sure the engine is done (will be confirmed in a few days when I get home). At this point I have a company truck now, and want to get a 6 speed car, so for that reason I am selling this truck. I was going to swap a new engine in it and sell it, but I figured I would see what a buyer would rather want. For example, It would be pointless to put a 5.3L in if someone is looking for a 6.0L.

We have three options to work with now:

option 1) I Buy a junkyard 5.3L with low miles and swap it in, then sell it asking $12,500 OBO

option 2) I Buy a junkyard 6.0L with low miles and swap it in, then sell it asking $13,500 OBO

option 3) I Leave current engine in it, sell asking $9,500 OBO. As is, the engine intermittently idles rough, has blow by, and misfires on multiple cylinders (during intermittent rough idle all cylinders misfire). I'm expecting to see low compression on at least 3 of the cylinders when I test it in a couple days. The truck is still drivable.

Regardless of the route you go, I want you to see the truck in person before we start negotiating. Seeing pictures on the internet of a vehicle is not a good platform to start with.

If you plan on low balling, please do so before we meet up so we don't waste each others time. So keep in mind I am not going to sell unless your offer is within a decent range of asking price.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Engine is a 5.3L with 60#/hr injectors. It has a Master Power 70mm turbo, with inter cooler system. KB racing hot pipes. Current boost level is 8 psi, the truck does have a boost controller capable of adjustments to 16 psi based on current waste gate spring rate (and tune). Professionally tuned *locked* PCM, so if you want to do your own tuning I will supply an extra PCM. Walbro 255lph fuel pump in the tank. LS1 electric fans.

Transmission is a 4L80E with a 3,000 rpm converter.

Rear differential has TruTrac installed (posi trac).

Comes with an alarm/remote start. Key fob has confirmation screen. The furthest I've remote started it from/received confirmation was about 1/8th mile away from it, and I was in a building on top of that.

Truck has approximately 137,XXX miles on it.

The body is in fair condition, with a few dings on the bumpers along with a few scratches. Comes with 20" wheels. Interior is all black, cloth seats, power windows/doors/mirrors. I bought the truck lowered, so I am unsure of its exact dimensions. The truck bed is Rhino Lined.

The interior looks a little different since these pictures (they were taken pre-turbo install). I installed a 2 gauge A-pillar which contains a boost gauge and an Aeroforce interceptor gauge w/ a wide-band add on it. Both light up blue. On the dash below/to the right of the radio I have a fuel pressure gauge installed in place of the air bag panel (glows blue). Also there is no tint on the windows and the screen is not installed anymore (yeah.. got jacked).. There is a plain old after market single din CD deck w/ aux there now.














The prices are "or best offer" so feel free to make an offer
