I mod my truck because I want it to last. but that has not worked yet.

engine. wore out 2 engines. trying to get a third in the truck.

rear end. the gears cracked/chiped differential wreaked. so in went an eaton posi and 3.73 rear gears.

exhuats was old. so in went dual 2.5" flowmasters full custom exhuast system.

paint job. truck was in crash. lots of new parts. got it painted. crappy paint job done by so called pros. within a year it was rusting. truck needs another paint job this spring.

tranny. one tranny went. swaped it with a used tranny. it lasted 5-6 months. got it rebuilt. lots of $$$$ later. the tranny is good still.

tires.....one full set per year. hey thats happens to every body.

4 sets of header gaskets, 3 sets collector gaskets.

the clutch fan sucked. so I got a flex fan. It broke so I got a solid steel fan, and now I have an electric fan.

the shocks are wore out.

It averages 11mpg.
