Re: rockford racecraft byebye Thanks. That is what I thought. I think my 20g vanished with a bunch of other stuff: So far on my MIA list... Intercooler, IC Pump, brackets and scoop Throttle Body Original Block 20g Turbo Trans crossmember Radiator Stock airbox and cross tube Flywheel Almost...

So after going through the truck and boxes over the weekend (with some much appreciated help), it turns out I am missing a bunch of stuff. Is there an easy way to tell the difference between a stock turbo and a mits 20g? The one in my box has bad bearings and I think it is a stock unit, not...

I am not positive that my original block was in the truck when I bought it ( I never checked...or even knew I could), but with only 20k miles and the fact that the motor was stock ( minus some work on the heads ), I am working under that assumption that it probably was the matching block for...

Re: rockford racecraft byebye Here is the stamp on the block I got (TN0811707). Anybody know who has truck 1707?

This block does have appear to have a VIN stamped on it..just not mine. I will check it again and post what is stamped. Maybe the original owner is on this forum. :)

I never thought he would sell my truck, but I would love to know where my original block is and where all the parts I paid for went. Maybe they are part of that sale. Maybe I can get an in store credit for what he owes me to go shopping at the sale.

Re: rockford racecraft byebye Also, the number on my trans matches, but the block does not. Neither did any of the other blocks laying around the shop that I could get to.... Here are the other pics. Needs some work, but not in that bad of shape considering 10 years of neglect....

Re: rockford racecraft byebye You guys are gonna love this. Look what I found in my engine bay when I was picking up the truck....

Re: Won't shift into 4th gear I got my Ty 10 years ago, but it was doing the exact same thing when I bought it. It has been MIA for the last 10 years, but I am just getting it back and dealing with the issues. I was told that my torque converter was totally shot. I have not had the trans...

Thanks. That is pretty much what everyone has been saying and is probably the route I will end up going (build it up a little...aiming for reliability more than performance). I am going to get the rest of the stuff today. Thank you everyone for your help....

Re: rockford racecraft byebye Looking for opinions on how to rebuild the truck.... Lots of people are saying since it only has 20K on it I should rebuild it stock because it will be worth more $ that way versus beefing it up.... I don't really need a speed demon. My G37 gets me in enough...

Re: rockford racecraft byebye 2500avalanche- Today was the first time I found my parts in boxes :( Did alot of stuff in ten years (started a business, built a new house, had 3 kids)...I pursued it pretty hard for the first year or so, but then sort of gave up and hoped he would get around to...

Re: rockford racecraft byebye Yep, I bought it with 18K on it. Flew down there and drove it back. Found out it had engine trouble and brought it to RR a few weeks after getting it. Never saw it again until now....

Re: rockford racecraft byebye I don't know, but I did find it a little amusing / sad that all the license plates on the trucks I saw expired long ago.....

Re: rockford racecraft byebye Forgot to mention the trip.... Guy was nice and I think all my parts are there (minus the crankshaft and camshaft). The crank had hairline cracks starting and they pitched it ( I remember this from 10 years ago). Not sure on the cam (I seem to remember it being...
