I did the swap in 2 days. That is a v6 to a v8. No afternoon job and did I mention I did it all by myself. I'm having a hard time with the pats system. I'm waiting for the program software to come in so it can be programmed out of the ecu. It is all done for except the pats system. The guy that is doing the program work for me spent $40,000 on this whole progremmer setup and its a week and a half late. But on another note I'm painting my truck this weekend. I'm going to do a bed liner paint jod on the lower half of my truck and a stripe on the hood.
