Opinions please....

The trucks wont fit in the garage, so I have an empty space!

That sir, won't do...go buy the damn thing quick before the garage gets all cluttered with shit. I've never had one, but they are cool cars. What's the worst case, you buy, don't like it, you sell it. You've got them at a price that you aren't going have much at risk...I say get it, screw everyone else's opinion, yours is all that matters...LOL!!!!

I remembered that I read something on that a while ago... I happened to find it agian:

"LT5 owners should be aware that the throttle body can be damaged if the
secondary throttle bores are cleaned with a solvent. Rochester used a
carbon based sealer called "dag" around the secondary throttle plates.
On a new throttle body the dag looks like a ring of thick black paint.
On a used throttle body the dag looks like a ring of carbon. Indeed,
carbon deposits from operation build up on top of the dag. When cleaning
the secondary throttle bore the dag needs to be taken into
consideration. The bores need to be cleaned with care to avoid removing
the dag. I recommend gently wiping the bore with a dry cloth. Most
solvents will soften the dag. When proper cleaning is finished the
throttle bores will have thin black flakes around the throttle plates.
That's the dag. Cleaning the bores shiny with solvent will usually
subtract 10 IAC counts. If your IAC count is normal at 10, removing the
dag will take the count to about 0. At 0 IAC counts the idle speed will
start to increase. Generally I don't clean the secondary throttle bores.
Note that they operate as either open or closed. They are not used to
control the idle. Light deposits around the secondary throttle plates
will actually help them to seal better. This is good as long as the
deposits are not making the throttle stick."

Is that what you mean? :dontknow:

Jake what I was reffering to was the fact that the throttle body housing wore badly on the primary. I have bronze bushed them to repair the housing as there is no bushing stock. I did not know what the black substance was called. Once they are bronze bushed they last almost forever. I have even seen the big secondary worn excessivley. They owners foot must drip gasoline every time drove it.

Thanks for the info.

Bronze bushings, and new shafts and butterflys. Cleaning up the bores and a whole lot of time and knowledge. I am glad I don't have to do those any more as they are a PITA to do.

Are you going to get the car? I think they are really a trick ride.

I will pursue it more after the holiday. I would still like to get rid of my Ford before I buy something else.... I have some people that want it. They just don't want to cough-up the cash until after the first of the year.
