I've been shopping for several months, trying to figure out where I'm headed now that racing junky itch is finally gone. It was fun while it lasted, but nothing lasts forever.

After paying $4/gallon for water at a Love's Truck Stop and subsequently $3K for injectors and a lot fuel delivery components, I'm done with diesels.

Tomorrow I trade for a 2013 GMC SLT 1500 CC 6.2L 4x4. Has the trailering package, so its equipped with coolers, HD rear diff and springs and 3.73 gearing. Maybe I'll buy an Airstream and join the good SAM club ...

I was serious about a Hemi Laramie, but just couldn't justify the cost. I found a couple which had wheels, tires, lift and custom leather seats and the price was jacked $16K. Better be some nice damn wheels.

And a 6.2L motor in a F150 was near $60K

So its home ...

12.4L ...

Shipping weight on the 7.3 was right about 900 lbs. We dropped it in the back of my Chevy 3500 and hauled it to the garage. I wound up driving around for about 3 days with the core strapped down in the bed (waiting on return instructions for the core). I got some strange looks with that thing back there. We did a clutch and all. The job was challenging. The turbo hits the body and it's a real trick to get it out.
