tanker Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I finally came to terms with deciding to get rid of my SSS. I loves the truck but needed more room inside to accommodate the family size. I ended up trading her in on a tbss. I hope I learn to enjoy tbss as much as I did my silvy.

Downeast Johnny Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Life's reality's force tough decisions sometimes. Good luck with the TBSS. I'd like to try one out for awhile sometime but not at the expense of the SSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnss Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Congrats on the new tbss. I as well just bought one. Just a heads up look into the oiling issues of these trucks. The tbss has a very poor oil pickup tube set up. They are known for starving for oil. Mine already spun a rod bearing and I'm in the middle of replacing the motor. There is a fix for it. I'd recommend changing the oil pickup tube. Just google tbss rod knock. Launching them is not good. The oil pickup tube is located towards the front of the motor so when you launch them it will starve for oil. Some run an extra quart of oil to help. I just wanted to give u a heads up.

tanker Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Appreciate that info. I can't afford to spin any bearings. I did read a little bit about it. That's my first purchase. I guess I won't be stomping on it until I get that taken care of. I also read about adding on a trans cooler. There's a lot of info on both. Good luck with your tbss also.
