    Back to a diesel...

    That was meant as a compliment. I can't believe how fast ten years have gone by. I've still got my white truck with the trans you built. It's been retired back to being the weekend runaround truck and small trailer puller. I've bought a dually to be my welding rig and it's nice to have so...

    Back to a diesel...

    You sure have come a long ways from your old Peoria days. Truck looks great. Couple guys here have loaded duallys as their welding rigs. Really nice trucks. It will be a tough choice if I ever decide to buy a new truck. My 2007 Duramax handles it all pretty well for now.

    Ford raptors

    Here's my advice. If you want a raptor then buy a real raptor. You could get an f150 and soup it up but it will never be a raptor. And to some people that matters. After riding in and driving one I don't see how you could be disappointed.

    Ford raptors

    My brother in law has one and loves it. I've driven it and it's the smoothest riding truck I've ever been in. Big tires and huge suspension that works perfectly. ecoboost is powerful but it does have a bit of the familiar to us turbo lag. Overall a great truck.

    All over the place when launching

    I know I've had good luck with the dhd brace on the front. For the price you don't have much to loose.

    Airdog 150 died, what next

    Ive had he underhood fuse blow on mine before. It's easy to check and I put a slightly bigger fuse back in after that. I have also had one motor go bad on me. I called them up and was able to buy the newest version of the motor for an incredibly reasonable price and it bolted right in place...

    Always nice to hear a positive experience and update on a product. I know mine have been good to go as well.

    67 c10 LS swap build

    Brothers sells entirely new short bed kits. Not the cheapest way but all new metal. Hot rod garage just did an episode on this very topic. They had less money in the truck going this way than trying to find a true shortbed. Can't wait to see more updates from your build!

    67 c10 LS swap build

    Awesome project! A buddy of mine is redoing one right now too. I've been helping him with little bits here and there. He actually took a long bed and used the brothers trucks kit and cut it to be a shortbed. I would be interested to see these long bed trucks you have down there for 1000...

    Anyone running falken wildpeak at3w?

    I've got a set on one of my trucks and they seem to be a really good tire at a great price. I plan on putting a set on my dually after I wear out the set of ko2's on there now. But I really like the way the new bfg look and ride too.

    Wheel spacer fitments issues

    I just ordered a set of 1-1/2" spacers from a place in Vegas called motorsports tech. Takes a little while to get them as they are made when you order but the fit and finish was excellent. I went with the steel version although they have an aluminum one too. Less expensive than the Fred's...

    Byron "slow track" discussion

    I've raced at Byron and right here at Joliet and have found that I was easily a half second faster at Byron. My truck ran a 12.8 on cold mud tires. I wanted to see what it run in street set up and not drag race set up. My truck has an early Danville charger and 45 over injectors. I would...

    LBZ: Curt 15302 Install??

    I just installed mine today. I added extra back up lights and grounding straps. Install was very easy and fit perfectly. I just cut the old bracket off and rewelded it to the bumper. Good enough for now.

    I'd like to introduce number 20!!

    My neighbor just bought a brand new one last week. He loves it so far and it's getting great fuel mileage.

    rear pinion yoke

    I replaced the pinion yoke one more time with a genuine gm replacement and the vibration stopped and I had no more u joint issues. I finally found one online from a chevy dealer in california. It was actually cheaper than the yukon ones I tried. I've probably put almost 100,000 more miles on...
