What happened to the warranty to replace the I5? I’d say LS1, those trucks are sick looking, once it gets some power to back it up that would be sweet. ---

I would guess you could get a LS1 cheaper and build it for a better bang for your buck…if he is serious I would have him call JJ’s they are for sure to have one and are cool guys to deal with ---

Yeah, go LS1… Those I-5’s are junk. Horrible gas mileage, no towing capacity (barely), and who the hell wants an INLINE 5 in their damn truck. ---
