I know this. I'm just saying it might be why the guy is confused on how to spell it

To be fair to the guy, Hedman exhaust has always spelled it "hedders", even in their logo

^ That article is a must-read lol

Yeah I'm sure someone will like the color, just not me lol. That color alone would stop me from wanting to buy that car. Like Steve-O suggested, try VW forums. I don't think the asking price is too unreasonable

Idk about the price, but that paint.....what is it, mustard gold? Cool car but that color is an eyesore. Idk what the hell VW was thinking

I stopped reading at Joe Rogan

For your needs, I really don't see the point of any truck smaller than a half ton. Unless you get a 4 cyl Ranger or something, the fuel mileage difference will be negligible. +1

Indeed. One of the best looking trucks ever made IMO http://o.aolcdn.com/commerce/images/U8CTGEI3_Large.JPG The '73-'87 duallys were equally awesome. My brother owns a '79 that I borrow any chance I get... http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c295/skoval25/79k3500_02.jpg?t=1426995971 http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c295/skoval25/79k3500_01.jpg Although a dually is probably a little overkill unless you're towing frequently

Autotrader only has one '96-'98 K1500 with the 5.7/manual. It has 300k+ miles and it's in Virginia http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=395203724&Log=0

The Vortec 350 was basically just a small block Chevy with fancy heads, different fuel injection setup, etc. Stock for stock power/torque they are similar to an LT1, but no, they don't have Optispark. They aren't popular to heavily modify because of the limited factory fuel system design, but they are great/reliable engines made for a truck. Some manuals were the NV3500 5-speed stick that came in work trucks with the 4.3 V6, the occasional 5.0 Vortec half ton, and very very few 5.7 half tons. Some 3/4 and 1 ton trucks had the NV4500 (heavier duty) stick with the 5.7 or 7.4 engines. I've seen some 5.7/stick combos in the half tons, but the ones I've seen were either single cab or 2WD. I'm sure there are more out there like mine, but they are few and far between.

I would recommend a '96-'98 Silverado/Sierra since those years had the Vortec 350, not the underpowered TBI engines that the '88-'95 had. The '99+ with the 5.3 are good trucks too, but personally I like the styling of the 90s trucks better. I used to have a '97 ext. cab 1500 4x4 with the 5.7 and 5-speed stick... http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c295/skoval25/IMG_20120328_102955.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c295/skoval25/IMG_20120318_165252.jpg It was a fantastic truck and I deeply regret selling it. Trying to find another rust free one with the same combo (manuals were very rare in the 350 4x4 trucks) would be a chore. I bought mine a few years back and only paid $3200 but it was a high mile truck. Ran perfect though. Damn I really wish I still had it. Most people prefer automatics in trucks anyway so it shouldn't be hard to find one in your price range without rust, but you might have to look a little further south.

And by "example" I don't just mean one specific event, I mean Wiggsy himself. Everything about him and his company is clown shit

I'm not sure what color the sky is in Wiggsy's world, but I'm fairly certain I've never seen a bigger example of pretentious ignorance

Also have two 1:64 scale haulers (Terry Labonte and Mark Martin) plus a dozen 1:64 race cars. There's also a box of random football and baseball cards from 1991. Bonus material includes a 90's Dodge Ram diecast, a Garfield book, and I'll even throw in the plastic case containing all of these treasured items. Selling it all together. Take it all or take nothing. It's all free, but if you bring me a six pack of Budweiser I won't say no. Located in Hilliard off Cemetery Rd. Thanks

Looks awesome, great choice on the hood

4runner, since Suburban/Tahoe/Escalade/Denali apparently doesn't fit the criteria

Very nice! Looks great man. What part of town? I'm envious of your garage

Yep, fuel filter was the culprit. Sometimes it's the simple shit that gets overlooked. The truck runs perfect now

I'm glad you mentioned this. How well do they work? I've heard varying opinions but never tried using one myself

Buddy of mine has an 02 Tundra 4x4 with the 4.7 V8 (not the VVT, the older one). It has headers, stock cats, no mufflers, but the rest of the truck is all stock. The truck runs great in all conditions (cold/hot, idle, accelerating, etc) EXCEPT when you romp on the gas. Basically anything more than half throttle, it bogs and cuts out bad and doesn't gain speed. We hooked it up to a scanner, it's throwing lean bank codes for the rear o2 sensors. Replaced those and it's still doing it. MAF is clean, catalytic converters look good. Where should we look next? Fuel filter? Ignition coil? It only acts up under heavy throttle, so it probably wouldn't be fuel related, would it?

There's a 1200 sq ft house down the street from me, looks nice, asking price 120k, and has what looks like a 3.5 car detached garage

Great price. Last time I checked, used ones were selling for twice that much

That couch is tits
