Default RCSB 4x4 mods?

I'm picking up my uncles single cab Saturday, it's a red 05 5.3l 5 speed z71 with 83,000 on it, it was $5,000 which I think is too much but I know it's been taken care of and it's mint inside and out. What are some good performance mods to get it pretty quick without getting too crazy? Not planning on keeping it so I don't want to sink too much. I'm buying some TBSS wheels from a friend and getting some used 33' mud terrains for it, kinda want that off road race truck look..

How strong are the T5 transmissions?

Best thing you can do is not purchase it and you will not have to worry about it and hear all the **** you will probably get for this thread.

5,000 is a steal of a deal. Leave it stock though.

Thats what I was thinking, 5k for an 88k 2005 4X4 is actually a really damn good deal.

The trans is not a T5, its an NV3500. You sure its not a 4.8? Im 99% sure you could not get the 5spd with the 5.3 (auto only). Either way, thats a good deal for that truck.

You are correct sir, GM NEVER offered a manual behind the 5.3L. You could only get a 5 speed with the 4.8L. Unless it is a swapped in 5.3L. Plus the 5 speeds suck, with any power you'll blow it. Post pictures!

$5k is a bargain, unless the body has 220K miles and the engine has 88K on a swapped 5.3L.

Swap C6Z drive train so you can cruise at 100mph? Should be an easy swap for you.

If they were 6 lug rims, I am sure he would. But he needs this truck so he can drive back and forth to college station real late at night with a bed full of cracked iphones to slang for thousands of dollars of pure profit (because people just GAVE him their cracked ones) in a matter of hrs, then drive back with all the loot at a measly 100mph making 35miles to the gallon to beat off silly drug charges because he was just holding it for a friend and had already stopped smoking and tried to sell his vaporizor in the tx classifieds and got rich off that **** too. Then once he beats the case, someone will mysteriously hit him, so he will get some top notch body work and car show like paint to fix it, throw acura legend interior in it, sell it to a woman for millions in profit, then she will have it stolen from her in a matter of 3 hrs of ownership. Once the day is FINALLY over, he will cruise on over to mom and dads house and get some rest. If all else fails, he will just run the motor without a lick of oil in it, lock it the **** up, then try to sell the heap for its weight in gold
