Everything worked as factory stock, the truck was nicer than most with 100k miles. Said he had an injector line crack on him but changed to a different brand and has been total reliable. Don't remember asking about the cruise control but otherwise if you jumped in it and hit the key you couldn't tell the difference. I'd bet it would do everything better than it does now and run in the 12's.
I'm not jumping on you, but I thought very hard about this swap and just had a very hard time justifying the cost to do so on a 15 year old truck that is probably only worth $10-12K at most. What does it cost to do the swap, if you nothing to but a vp truck to start with?
