Even though you don't want to you might have better luck parting it out just because people don't have that kind of cash laying around as much as the economy is hurting. When it comes to Lightning parts especially factory ones it is easier to usually separate from what I have seen. Just my .02.

Best of luck to you, and if you do decide to part it out some eventually I would be interested in the polished idler bridge.

Yeah, I am still not parting out, its just a pain as I have done for other cars. I will give this post a couple more weeks then it is going on the truck. Especially if I order the SCT tuner for it with the start-up tune, then its all down hill....who knows but thanks for the insight.

It is in good shape, rotors rotate freely, metal gaskets on the blower/intake are good and able to be reused, Since I bought the Metco pulley changer I will say $2500 firm for the next couple weeks. I don't want to move anymore than that.

Also an update: I changed the pulley on the blower because I was going to try +2lbs but what I got was scammed, it is just a stock lightning pulley, LOL..fool me once right, good thing I only paid $25 for it, it is nicer than the one that was on it. Anymore questions just fire away, thanks for looking.

I don't think I will be able to hold off much longer...haha, I changed the oil in the blower, the weather is getting nicer, and I might just have to do the install?

It's funny you say that. I was building the truck for that purpose, In my head I was thinking well its only about 2500lbs. over my rating and if I beef evrything up, it should be doable...I installed Motive 4.10 gears, an Auburn differential, aftermarket 3.5" aluminum driveshaft, but then I think, It has a rebuilt 4R70 (10,000 miles) and how long would that hold out really? haha, So even after the blower swap, I am still looking at a bulit trans, helper springs? and maybe a class 4 hitch to be legal? I have thousands in the truck and I would hate to throw it all out the window.
I don't know,..I love the truck like a fat kid loves cake. I would really hate to sell it but my passion is boating? Stuck for now, i guess...
