Grrrrr With all this stuff there is to do... I'm gonna be workin on my truck when I'm not at work or in school... or sleeping :S:

One of ya'll wanna come fix my truck for me?

So would this PCV system be a good idea for anyone? I am going to get an 05 GMC LLY thursday. And I just read up about this PCV deal, the EGR blocker and finger stick. I know alot about car stats and stuff like that just cuz I'm looking at it alot.... but when it comes to building and fixing stuff on cars, all I know to do is pop the hood.

I understand that they help out with prolonging different parts and making your engine run more efficiently but how much better is it? And how hard is it to do?(like for me to do that knows next to nothing about it all) I have a bet with my dad that I can get to 500K miles so I want to do whatever I can asap to prevent anything from happening to my truck as best as I can before something bad happens and costs me big $$$. I looked at an EGR blocker and finger stick kit for like $55(fair price?) and this PCV deal sounds pretty cheap too... any other cheap upgrades that ya'll know of that are actually worth something just let me know.

Thanks guys!

well if you are looking to make the truck last that long then you need to save up for a built trans mine lasted till 120k before i needed to have it rebuilt if you can't afford to do that right now then you may want to look into getting a trans go kit that will help for a little while

Yeah see I'm not sure if I am foreal gonna get that far. But I do want it to last me a really long time. At the rate I'm at now I'll have enough money for the SC stage IV. But of course I will only put about 15-16k miles on this truck each year. But I will end up building the hell out of it. there is a good chance i'll have the money for the stage IV before it get around to this time next year.
=P
