Thanks Coilover for the LS suggestion. So far I'm feeling there is a real good spread of advice from staying with a straight 6 to going over to diesel. I do not have the engine yet so I am going to start studying which one and why. But letting my wife drive it.... anywhere? I'm going to discourage that. Speaking of that, is there a way to disengage the power steering so the truck can revert back to its original non-power steering feel? That would end any thoughts of her wanting to drive my truck....
