I don't know that you could find what you got for 350.00 in a 5.3 though. Most people usually hit around the 1200 - 1500 dollar mark.

and........... I am subscibed so get busy.
I actually wanted a 6.0 to start with but I priced a few and quickly focused on the 5.3.(huge price difference!) BTW, I upgraded to the 6.0 in my 07 truck and it is a power house! but with that power comes a heavy appetite for fuel! I am just about to the point of giving the 4.8 back to the guy and investing in a 5.3. As far as the 4.8 they run around $300-450 anyway. well on ebay. You may have to drive a little or long way to pick it up though. I could just keep it and use it anyway......dang it!

On another note, I ordered a new regulator/flow valve for my tig today. Hope to have it by this Friday so I can get back on it this weekend.
