Because its been down for almost a year and a half and isnt done. Im the only one working in the house cause my woman is going to school full time. So im having to take care of her and 2 kids and all the bills. Kinda hard to do all that and build the truck on my pay. Plus its been so damn long its killed the excitement of it. I still need a bunch of shit for the trans in order for it to live behind the engine and that just equals more time and money. Everyone is all "go with a duraflite" blah blah or im going to need a $9000 allison. I just dont want to do it anymore, Im paying for a truck that i cant use.

I don't know anything but you can always finish the motor and do a mild allison build and play at 7-800hp until you get back in the swing of things. It will cost more in long run but it's better than giving up on it

Yea shoot me your address Dieslmafia

Lparrill- I would do that but the suck part of the deal is this.. The way i got the truck was took over the payments from a friend. He knew i couldnt get a loan to buy it cause of some school loans and my matco tool loan. So he agree'd that i would just take over the payments and leave it in his name. Now he's blowing my phone up wanting me to pay the truck off (knowing i cant get a loan right now). I know where he's coming from but he knew i couldnt get a loan when we went into this deal. So i cant just put the truck on the back burner anymore. Something needs to get done. Plus my DD is getting older and starting to have stuff go bad on a monthly basis.

Just out of curiosity have you thought about selling the parts you have which I'm sure would bet you quite a bit of coin. Obviously you would have to return it to stock and no one likes stock but that might get you out of the small bind your in
