Look at the bright side, now you won't suffer one of the consequences of owning this extrodinary vehicle.......VX nightmares Just the other night I had one where this mechanic was installing a V8 in my VX and the police came and arrested him before he finished, so there was my orignal engine on the floor (in pieces) and the V8 wasn't connected, sheeeought! I didn't even get to hear it roar. Enjoy your new truck.

Not the choice I'd make, but not knockin' the decision - I've driven a Yukon and there's nothing wrong with that. Nice ride, and a lot more practical.

Apparently I've not driven the right V8-equipped vehicle yet (excepting the Yukon, since I never really stomped the gas). My experience is limited to a 5.4L 300hp Triton V8-equipped Lincoln Navigator and a 4.6L 225hp V8-equipped Ford E-250 extended cargo van that I drive quite often at work. Neither impresses me. First of all, a 4.6L V8 that makes 225hp certainly isn't mind-blowing, and add to that the fact that they put it in a large extended cargo van that will be expected to carry lots of weight. Yeah - they're bigger, heavier vehicles so the power doesn't go as far as it would if you dropped that thing in a sport coupe. But 30 years ago most cars were markedly heavier than today and the average V8 probably made 300hp back then.

well, i've already got svo injectors on it, with a powercharger supercharger and a flowmaster on it, the thing is a beast, and i love it... gonna take it to e-town once it gets nice and dry

That didn't take long

SVO injectors on a Yukon?

[Cyrk]

Let's see some pics of that beast!

[Newports]

no pics yet, but i cant believe myself that those SVO injectors fit the harness, i had an extra set left over from an LT1 build so i slapped em on, amazing what kind of difference a little more fuel makes with the supercharger. since i last posted converted to a bigger radiator, electric water pump, and electric fans, cowl induction hood, and chevy bowtie exhaust tips, ill post pics when i get the chance.

Well I drive a VX & I bought the wife a 2004 Yukon Denali-AWD- V8 ( 6 liter) 325 HP-loads of torque & leather & nav & DVD & Bucket seats & on & on. The Denali replaced her top of the line 2002 Isusu limited & has more power- better gas milage & overall a superior vehicle in almost all respects with the exception 0f 4X4 . Wife just put another 3000 miles on it- no oil burning whatsoever (Mobil1 5-30)- No cleaning PCV or EGR. Of course the asking price was huge ($56,790) but who pays MSRP anyway.
Have to wait & see of course on reliability issues but so far so good.
Didn't care for the OEM tires though & replaced them with BFG AT KOs.
