Ya I've always seen t&k and wondered but never checked it out, there little auto graveyard to the side kinda worried me, lol, did you graduate from lindale? And molitor youve got some balls to buy a motor with an intake manifold melted on top haha, i think me and you both should give it a couple of weeks and call the BBB,

Yep, 2004

I think the auto grave yard next door is just were he has his projects and stuff. But he does really good work. Let us know how it goes bud

i only paid 200 hundred dollars for the engine, so i'm not out much. I should have just saved my money and bought a stroker kit and a new 4.00'' bore block. but if this guy every gets this one finished i'll have what i want. my 4.8L is getting noisier all the time. it has one weak lifter that clacks constantly at almost any rpm above idle. and i have a whole new set of lifters, but i would rather swap engines instead of just pulling the heads and lifters

[Cominup]

Wayfast do you know joebob or Ashley Terry? Molitor I hear you about noisy 4.8s, other then lifters ticking, I got the squeekyest belts ever made

[wayfastw86]

Yeah, I remember the names I just can't put a face to them. I think they might have been older

[Cominup]

Ya they were, a couple years. Check out my post on mechanical and c what you think of these prices farmtruc said... The post is charged 6.0

I don't have any squeaks at all, my serpentine system is super quiet. It does look like the idler and the tensioner were both replaced before I bought the truck though.

I am currently waiting on this shadetree mechanic to install a 14 blt. .........I gave him the money and rearend

OH BOY. Here we go. Rule #1, don't pay for the job up front. I am sorry you are in this situation, but it is simply human nature. Once a person receives their end of the bargain, there is no motivation to finish the job or deal anymore.

I hope situation is better than it appears to be, but it looks like it is time you start getting very aggressive with this guy. There is no excuse for this job to take more than a few days, he just isn't doing it. I would call him daily, document your calls and if that doesnt resolve it quickly, take him to small claims.

OK, enough negative.

WELCOME to the board. Happy Modding and looking forward to better customer service.
