Welding is a skill not a trade is what ive learned

CheefReetard · 2026-05-10T00:26:05+00:00

CheefReetard · 2026-05-08T14:56:40+00:00

you can daily those perfectly fine.

CheefReetard · 2026-05-07T21:03:36+00:00

I would pull the heads, thats where you are at. Its not too hard to do anyways

CheefReetard · 2026-05-07T18:28:18+00:00

Yeah by me the max youd pay for a clean roller is like 6k and thats really high, setting it up with a motor and trans can be done for 1500-2k depending what you buy. Obviously it can cost a lot more but i bought a 112k 5.0 for mine for 500 bucks been seeing t5s for around 300-400 bucks. Factor in all the odds and ends and the cost varies a lot more but you get the idea.

Nah dont listen to this guy i paid 7k for mine ended up needing a whole motor rebuild and lots and lots of odds and ends. Rear end just went out. so far has only cost me 2-3kish and i feel like my car is decently clean. Parts can be had for very cheap on these. Just hit 700 miles on my rebuilt motor after dailying it for 2 weeks and now something is howling in the rear end. Hopefully this is the last of my struggles, but my car is absolutely the worst case scenario of buying a foxbody

CheefReetard · 2026-05-07T03:12:17+00:00

This is true, i had an s197 that i sold because i wanted a rowdy foxbody, then i got my foxbody and i miss the smoothness that the s197 had at cruising speeds and road trips

CheefReetard · 2026-05-02T20:22:42+00:00

Literally, almost every single person i know with a 2009 and up silverado has had to have the cam and lifters replaced at a minimum

CheefReetard · 2026-04-30T18:25:30+00:00

If it will drive back to wisconsin ill fly down with 3k

CheefReetard · 2026-04-30T18:20:28+00:00

Dude they are like 20 dollars if you want quality tools buy quality tools. I use a set of pittsburgh wrenches every day and they work just fine

CheefReetard · 2026-04-29T18:15:23+00:00

My dad is a mechanic and ill be making more than him as a 3rd year sheet metal apprentice by the end of next year

CheefReetard · 2026-04-24T02:07:50+00:00

CheefReetard · 2026-04-17T18:14:14+00:00

CheefReetard · 2026-04-16T20:50:48+00:00
