4.7L I6? Maybe they're pulling old blocks and stroking them?

I don't know if they're using it in anything, but they're selling the crate motors. Not cheap, either.

YKYDAXJW you have to use ratchet straps to clamp your suspension down to get out of the garage after installing your new lift because it doesn't clear the door otherwise.

YKYDAXJW people ask "Didn't you let it warm up before you picked me up" and you reply "Yeah, for an hour, this is warmed up"

YKYDAXJW you have to give the autoparts store guy the make and model of multiple vehicles to get parts because everything is from a different year, make, model or manufacturer.

When some days you are afraid to push it to 3k and other days you're doing burnouts and showing off, powershifting the AW4 at 5,000RPM

I helped my dad back in '04 when he got his Avalanche. It didn't fit, so we lifted the garage. We used floor jacks pushing 2x6s length-wise up into the roof. We did one side, put down 2x6s between the garage and the foundation, then did the other side, then the back. Only took a day.
However, I like the idea of ratchet strapping the springs. There are so many things wrong with it, it's perfect!
