This is not a CL deal nor is it a good deal. More of a warning and a reminder. I found an engine on Face Book Market (in GA). There was an ad for 2003 6.0 LS with 123k miles for $650. I watched for a few days and kept thinking that I needed to jump on this. So I started doing a little research on that specific year and while I was looking around I found the same engine for sale on eBay, except, it had different mileage and was in a different state with a different price. So, I thought maybe he just used the picture from eBay. If that is what he did then he should have said that in his ad and because he didn't I already decided that its a scam. I sent him a question asking if he knew if it was an LQ4 or LQ9. He responded within a few minutes saying that he doesn't know. Next question I asked if the picture he posted was the actual engine? If, not, can you send me a pic of the actual engine. No response lol. My guess is that he probably would have wanted some money up front or something never to be seen again, I don't know, I didn't make that far.

The first picture is from the guys ad on FB and the second is from the eBay ad.

Doug rope pulled about 10 rigs at AOP last summer up that new trail with that super steep muddy hill that was so fun. Pretty sure the only ones it didnt pull were me and Steve.. oh yeah, we made it on our own power...

You forgot about me making it, but my attempt was so effortless that it wasnt memorable

Justin got out in front of this with the "two of us made it" story... so that's the official record at this point.  Sorry guys.  A video could be used to change the record.

I have video of clark making it, and Justin struggling up before he realizes he didnt turn on the rear locker (again). How do I load them to the forum?
