Look to the bottom for mod updates!
This weekend March 21-22 Spike is replaying the LS rebuild episode part 2. They dyno the motor after refreshing it. They also try a new cam and lifters to see what power it develops.

Actually 355 meets up with 80 now before he would hit 55 coming from indiana,you can go 80,355,294.
I couldn't remember if they intersected.
No need to hit 294. The restaurant is at the exit of 355 and Butterfield.

Ever been in front of a vehicle with non-stock HIDs and thought they had their high beams on? Most likely they had an HID conversion kit. The stock reflector housing is not meant to be used with a HID bulb. Thats why they are not DOT approved. You get more light but at the expense of every other driver being blinded by your lights.
What's your point? Most of them are blinding me.
I've seen 4popper's lights. They aren't that bad.
-
is there a way to get there without going 80-94 from INdiana?
It's actually 80 to 55 to 355 I believe. What are you avoiding?
Do you have a date in mind or just feeling it out?

Having the track open would be the primary reason for me to come out. A little later in summer would be nicer as it will give me more time to get the money for any parts I may want to install before track teasting.
I'm sure there are other guys who get laid off during winter months or have seasonal jobs like myself. But by no means base your decision just on me(I'm not even sure I will make the 5hr. drive).

I might be able to scoot out there.
I'm guessing you won't have to tack any exhausts on to hear them. If you get enough guys out there there's bound to be one of every muffler on someone's truck.
If anyone wants to do headers, try loosening each of your exhaust bolts a couple rounds and retightening them one at a time a week before you make the trip. At least there won't be any time consuming surprises.

Just get a set of HID's. Find "fast4popper" in the member section. He gets some awsome kits at incredible prices and I believe they include both the upper and lower lights, and yes thhey will stay on if you have the high beam relay installed.

I just hosed mine down last weekend to get the dust and salt off. I'm sure a mild detergent(ie dish soap or car wash soap) would be just fine. You don't have to worry about getting the dist. cap wet like the old days. Just put a plastic bag over your air filter if it's exposed.

Luckily my buddy is the service manager and ex-mechanic at the dealer. He takes care of my truck.

For The Win
That's lame!

camaro ss FTW!! lol
Alright, I might be an idiot, but what is "FTW"? I asked my teenage nephew and he didn't know either.

Ready for it???.....Seriously...hold onto your pants.
My extended warranty is with-------drumroll------FORD!!!
just did thepowertrane *sp*...for 820.00 ish for 5 years/100,000 (I have 32K).
You're not alone. The Ford dealer was the only one with a used sss in stock within 80miles. They just paid over$4k to fix my front gears/pinion bearing and a trans pump leak.
Scott, I can't believe you've never had warranty issue. That's gotta be a record for an SSS.

Anyone know the part # for Earl's speed bleeders?
-
I just switched to Royal Purple. No news yet.

What am I missing? You said you're required to have a front plate correct? Doesn't that mean you have to have an actual license plate on there? In IL we're required to display our plate on the front of the vehicle. I stick mine in the front window since I don't have a holder, and so far haven't been messed with.

If you are doing a full air ride system then at least get them to tuck. Don't have them as a neg offset. You should be able to find a nice set of 20's or 22's with enough tire that the pot holes won't be a problem. If you don't want chrome then go with a nice gun metal grey or painted black wheel.
Neg offset looks too 90's. It's fine if u're cruzin in your Nissan playin' Eazy-e, but this is a new era. SSS's are supposed to be sporty/racy looking, not ghetto.

Next Saturday and Sunday Spike TV is replaying the junkyard LS rebuild episode.
-
I'm thinking of painting the grills black, but also wanted to see if anybody had tried to match them to the silver color of the wheels. I've seen the black grills on blue trucks(mine is blue), but haven't seen silver on anything.

I'm on boxer number 2 and 3. Great dogs, not too big, not too small. They don't shed alot because of the shorter hair. They are AWESOME with kids. They actually know how to tone down their activity level if the kids try to wrestle with them as opposed to me wresteling with them.
Watch out with the smaller dogs. My wife had a Lhasa apso when I met her, and I found out on small dogs you have to take them in and have their anal glands expressed about once a month. YUM!

I don't know what plan you got, but not to many warranties are going to cover dashboards, radios,etc. As for the rest of it, are they putting in a used or rebuilt? Is there something wrong with the case itself? Are they planning on just getting you a used case and stuffing it with new parts? This would be my guess.
I just had mine done 2 months ago. It was all covered under my Ford extended warranty(bought truck from Ford dealer). I had a pinion bearing go bad and caused some wear on the gears. Also had a trans pump leak. It was over 4K all together. It cost me $100+the cost of the plan(I think 2K). So it worked out in the long run.
I only buy used cars with extended warranties. I won't buy new anymore. You look at a 1 year old used car and the value is $10K less. You can buy an extended warranty to get you to 100K miles for $2k.

From my understanding cutting them is a big NO NO. They are part of your active suspension. The other guys with drops have been cross drilling the stoppers. There is a post somewhere on how-to.

I meant Russell. I was looking at Earl's stainless brake lines at the same time and got em mixed up. I need to supply part #s to my wife as my B-Day is on March 22nd.
Those are #'s I was looking for. Nice find! I tried searching, but didn't feel like sorting through 50 topics with 10 posts each. Thanks!
