    They're fun in a single cab with an nv4500 5spd, 4.10 gears and 4x4.

    This one is a 3/4 ton single cab 4x4 with a long bed. It's got 3.73, it has plenty of power but it's more for just pulling, doesn't really accelerate that well cause the 4L80 is stock and the TC stall is poop

    Yeah, i believe it. That transmission drives like a bowl of jello in a 3/4 ton.

    Yeah, it's pretty much an automatic trans meme in real life. It is basically a TH400 with overdrive and electronic control, but still a complete old style slushbox. I'm sure it's stout but I'd be angry at it if it was my daily. The A442F in my LC is much snappier and feels like I'm actually coupled to the rest of the running gear. The 4L80E just feels like I'm running a pump and the pump is under performing, but it's definitely not slipping, just lame.

    with a different TC and TCM tune I'm sure they are plenty good. I figure as much anyways since they're so popular with the rock bouncer guys

    It would probably be best with a valve body upgrade, more line pressure, a TC with a lower stall and a shift tune that used lockup in 2nd thru 4th. It just needs to be snappier, right now it's like a windup toy

    Thank you, one day she will be that clean.

    I grew up on farms and always wanted one of these. Now that I live in a tight subdivision, I figured it was a super ideal time to buy a 21' long truck lol

    I wish. This thing has 2 tanks that total up to 30ish gallons. Although I plan to replace both tanks with 38 gal tanks and then I will sell them out of diesel every time I visit.

    I was surprised to see a Kmart up in Norcal last year, still operating. It was just like Walmart though as far as the demographic of people that were there, although I also went in to get a few things so I guess I shouldn't be judging lol.
