will do man thanks. im not 1oo% sure wat route im goin yet jus sick of this v6 its junk. nobody wants to deal with them. i got iol in my water but no water in my oil (no its coolant jus easier to say water my bad) n i dont work far from home so gas isnt a issue, jus want the truck runnin good and strong since i cant slam it (4x4) i might as well beef her up n enjoy her. lol. idealy the r22 4cyl. would be the way to go but finding a complete running one with no issues cheap is near non existant. so a 35o or even a 3o2 i ca get all day from buddies that already owe me. jus need a lil guidence on gettin it done. a good write up or even a website that walks u thru it would be perfect.... thanks everyone in advance
