Power is great. It averages 17 with a low of 15 high of 19. but its a 3/4 ton suburban. Its way beter than 10 i was getting out of the 350/TH400 set up.

I did this in 04 the engine had 5000 miles on it. The package cost me $3000 dollars thats real high today but in 04 it was a good price.

The 5.3 moves it around fine joe231 but i dont tow with it, thats what my diesel is for

**BruthaMan** · 11-10-2009, 02:15 PM

Here's one of mine, taken a few minutes ago:

Master cylinder cover is off, we're bleeding the brake lines right now.
