It was fun while it lasted...
My mom has a 6.0.......
Pain in the *** truck. Rides worse than my old chevrolet.....
The EGR tube is more than likely broke...can tell right away if it "pops" when you let off under hard throttle.
Good luck with it though, on the positive side...they are pretty darn quick. And strong.
More pictures are needed though..

Time to go cry in the corner!
I guess you could say that, but I said one thing another person put their twist on and told someone else and they put their twist on it and the pattern continued and spread like wildfire, then most of my friends wouldn't talk to me, I guess no one is mature enough to go to the sorce and figure **** out. I guess I just get stabed in the back by what I thought were friends oh well. My initial plan was to by a cheaper truck and boat but since I have no use for the vette any more I can just get a biggger boat with the freed up cash!

I've known you and your dad for at least 10 years. You are car guys period. It sounds like you have already made your mind up, but don't be one of those guys that says, "I should have never sold that car". Ford diesels are all over the place, nice looking C4's (LT1 or not
) aren't as available. Don't let others dissuade what you truly are all about...JP
If I had a nickel for everyone that someone twisted my words or did me wrong...well you know the saying...life is going to be full of these deals, you just gotta roll with it.

nope, push that 6.0L anything more than stock and you will push the head gasket out and need to start buying engine coolant.....that 6.0L if it never had a box on it, will run just fine, but the moment you increase the timing (diesel fuel timing) and increase the boost - you are going inot the world of disaster.
Nice truck man!
Here you go!

Good luck, and hope you keep the car fire burning somewhere (even if just hot coals for now)!

Marcus I hope you reconsider your options here. From what your real friends on here they like your rare, mint, well taken care of Polo green vette. I would keep that thing and do the cam, the LT4 intake and the other things you always talked about.
Don't worry about what other people think about your car. It is what Marcus likes and wants. Not some people that are jealous of what you have and always wanted. Remember you are a early teenager that owned his own Vette. How many people can say that, **** you are the first person that I ever met that did. Keep that the car. I already told you that I would help you in doing anything to it.
I hope you change your mind and put that big as$ cam that you always wanted and join the 10-165 mpg club.

Update
I counted my chickens before they hatched. The interest rate the bank said the could give me was absolutly insane, as in 15%. First loan I guess. I will be lookin for a truck though because I do want a boat, I will just back down the price of what I am looking for, but for right now I still have the vette, I decieded to splurge on her and buy her some HID lights, should be here thursday, will do a right up for you guys. Also I should be out of school in may and should have a steady job then and I will wait till then for a boat then maybe all of you guys can go out on it with me. Sound good.

Couldn't agree more. Take everything getting twisted around and people alienating you as a blessing. You'll go through that many times in your life. Your true friends will be the ones left no matter what. Wash your hands of it and move on.
