All that managed displacement shite is flat out stupid.

All the extra complexity for negligible gains in mileage and an engine that never knows how to act just pisses me off.

No son, the old GMCs with the 454 is the only correct answer.

Before, during, and after. I got that shite fixed today, but my dad just informed me that he's giving me his Tahoe when he gets a new truck soon.

So what you think is up with my new truck? Just needs some miles on it and laying off the heavy foot?

This engines only got 50k miles on it so it'll be in there for a good while longer.

First major upgrade will be axles.
