Anyone looking for 26s? Or a turbo kit?
Sketchy junkyard/chop shop down the road from my house just got this in. Had a fuel leak that caught fire. Stock 5.3 with a 4l80 and some sort of VS racing turbo kit.

I wonder if the turbo is the reason it caught fire?

Shame. Grab the tails if you can get them cheap. Once the leds burn out you won't care lol!
What hood is on there? Kind of looks like a combo HD and stocker combined.

It's a HD but I think its warped due to the fire. This guy doesn't let much go cheap but was fun to look at. Had a dyno video it made 480 to the tires with the 26s. Not sure what the Wuhan war whistle was making boost wise. Bone stock 5.3

Looked to me like a leak by the manifold was the start. I'm sure the heat from the turbo didnt help.
looks like a successful operation finally, now for the washer fluid pump...
Typical cracked pump, all good now no leaks
Finally. Damn. Lol. It’s nice how easy those are to install, huh?

Love CAI with big boxes and filter windows.
Big reason I got it. Love that look plus I haven’t found any horrible reviews. Gotta get that retune.
ya I just pushed all the hoses to side and zip tied one out of the way, pushed the upper radiator hose to the drivers side, 3 bolts for the tensioner, 2 for the thermostat and pushed that out of the way and 6 bolts for the pump, couldn't find my wire brush so I just cleaned it up with a spackling tool and a regular brush, air tools help speed stuff up, so new pump, new thermostat, ran the garden hose thru the heater hoses and radiator, should be all good now radiator will probably go next

Never ending vicious cycle! You do all OEM parts?
ya bought the T"s and hose off amazon and waited for those to show up, one hose had already been done, but the water pump was a surprise so I got it from the dealer today $202 wasn't too much of a shaft I have a resale setup with them so no tax. saved myself 200-300 in labor.
BANNED!!!Today, I found out I’m not great at paint, and also you should never do paint when you don’t have unlimited time View attachment 253881
I also rewired the connectors on the driver’s side to replace the broken/lost parts

Hard to beat OEM especially when you get a good price. Nice save
