well now that the temps are sky high, ive noticed some problems with my A/C on the truck. the passenger vents only blow hot air, and the temps are never really that cold. im not that good with hvac in cars, but it seems to me a vehicle only 4 yrs old shouldnt be blowing luke-warm air, and as for the passenger side? wtf, im confused. is this something any other owner has experienced or is mine just a freak?

good pics man, those srt8 cherokees are mean as hell.

thats one of the worst crashes ive seen for the D1 Grand Prix. Fuji is a real high speed track and when things go bad, they go real bad. ive put my own cars into curbs and ditches before sliding around my favorite street spots, but ive never done anything that bad. but those guys are sponsored paid drivers, theyll have a new car put together for the next race. i dont have that luxury, when i break my car, i got to fix it myself.

went to the strip for the first time in my truck. i wanted to baseline it for whenever i do other mods to the truck plus i was curious to see what she'd do. i took it down to coastal plains in jacksonville NC, showed up late and only got 4 runs in. the best time i got was a 14.9 @ 92mph. i dont think thats too bad for a bone stock truck with 80k miles on it. plus im sure i can gain a tenth or two just by doing a tune up, i havent even changed plugs yet so as far as i know they may be the original plugs in this thing. im hoping to get down to mid 14s with intake and exhaust, maybe a few other light mods, and then i plan on adding a 150 shot. i think that will put it down in the low 13s and ill be happy with that. so what do you guys think, i dont know these trucks well enough to know what they run stock so i dunno if thats even on par for a stock truck.

haha, ive already got some ideas/plans for the truck. all it took was a look at youtube for stuff on the SS and i got dropkits, longtubes, turndowns, cams and nitrous swirling around in my head. ill definatley do some stuff to the truck but ive already got about 4 grand in my toyota and im still going with it so the truck is going to have to wait for now.

10zin, yeah its just my parking lights on. yeah ive done a few events, not many though. my work schedule dictates my ability to drive a few hours to go to an event. im sure the SS could get into drifting, as long as it was one of the rear drive ones. i know a guy that used to slide a slammed tacoma and ive seen vids of a lightning sliding around a drift course too.

cops were cool. more curious and bored than anything else. they just ran my ID and my tag and let me finish up with the pics. they pulled off after that and i left that parking lot soon after. Im in North Carolina, currently in Goldsboro but im growing tired of this town. might be moving soon. probably either raleigh or greensboro. yeah, i do the drifting stuff. i got an old school toyota cressida that i use now, used to have an rx-7 turbo, before that it was a porsche 944. i started back in 99 and ive been hooked every since, its just so much fun.

Hello there, newbie here. Long time car guy, first time truck owner. Just bought an SS a few weeks ago, figured Id come here and introduce myself and see what i can learn about my new toy. I say "toy", but the truck will do more daily duty than anything else, I got another car thats a project. Ill probably still do a little bit here and there to the truck though. What kind of gearhead would I be if I can leave a vehicle stock right? Well anyways I got some pics of the truck to throw up here, but theres not really anything special about it, like I said, its 100% stock. But Im proud of the truck so Ill show it off anyway. oh yeah, and it figures I wouldnt own a new vehicle for too long before the cops started getting to know it. a word of advice, if you go take pics at night make sure you watch for the police, haha
