Just sayin hello from South Central Texas! I’ve owned my square for about 3 years now but I decided to start an 6.0/Nv4500 w/ Holley EFI swap when COVID hit. I’ve had it back on the road since August and have really been enjoying the new setup. Lookin forward to being part of the crew here!

Welcome from Austria. Nice truck. I would like to see some pics of the engine.
It’s a work in progress! Its my first real engine swap so I’m learning as I go. It’s a junkyard 6.0 LQ4 out of a 2006 2500hd with about 80k miles on it. I got lucky with it as it has the 317 head the used in the GMT1200 trucks. Transition era engine I’m guessing? Apparently it gets better mpg than the earlier head which I’m inclined to agree with. It gets about 14-16 mpg mixed hwy/town driving with 4.10 gears and 33in tires. I haven’t had the EFI tuned yet so hopefully there’s still room for improvement!

Welcome, nice truck and nice spread.
Thank y’all! I built this truck specifically to work this place. I don’t care much for the newer trucks and don’t really feel like they’re worth the money they want for them so I built this instead. It’s gettin the job done so far!
