A man came home with a pet skunk and his wife says ' Where are you going to keep him" He answers "Under the bed " She replies "What about the smell ?" His reply "Hell , let him get use to it like I did".

Darn good one. Keepem comin

I thought about the same and I agree they will steal your truck and hose you again on the new. They buy wholesale and sell retail plus. You can bargain better with no trade. I found and old fixer upper. 1985 dodge 600 4 door sedan. 68,000 thousand miles. Clean inside and out. Three different old ladies owned it. No rust and 3 door dings, thats all. Now for the rest of the story. Headliner has fell down and they changed oil and tires and thats about all. I bought it for 500 dollars and now have 2700 in it but it leaks oil(4cycl auto) no air or cruise but 23 to 28 miles a gallon and 65 dollars for a new tire. Regular gas and every other tank prem. Use 100% gas Truck has 86k and now sits in the garage . Take it out once a week and thats about it.

Merry Christmas from Oklahoma. This is the best site on the web. I have learned so much from all of you. Lets keep up the good work and lovin our chevy trucks. I think bowtie is sic but I like him anyway. I have withdrawl pains if I cant read his jokes.

Shortie,no cats , magnaflow 2 into one and dyno tuned. Had fast chips in tulsa. Here are some numbers after 86k miles. On a rainy day , he said numbers would be low 348,8 and torque 426. This is at the wheels on 5.3 . He said the formula was 1.2 x 348.8 to get crankshaft hp. He said I should have more on a dry day maybe 10 or so.. I saw somewhere that it is true that on a clear day and no rain you will get a higher reading but I was curious as I see that shorties are only good for 8 hp where long tubes are good for 23 hp. Just wonder if the cats were deleted on shorties if they would post better numbers ?

From what I have read on here the long tubes give more horsepower than shorties. I wonder if the cats were deleted on shorties would that make any difference ?

No, just what came in the mail with the kit. They are super bright. They have just a slight touch of blue but just unreal bright. The problem is the automatic on feature. Even though you can flip the switch to the left to kill you drl and the auto feature it still tries to fire the ballast which is hard on it and will shorten the life so I just turn on the brights and turn the switch to kill the drl feature and the auto then if I need lights I turn them on manually and go to the low beams. I didnt do high and lows. Only lows, they are so bright I dont think you need anything else. I have silver star ultras in the high beams and so far no problems. The only problem is mounting the ballast. I found a slot in the metal that goes from side to side which your radiator is bolted to just behind the headlights and stuff them in there with rtv and tie raps. I just have to remember to put the high beams on to start the truck each time.

WOW that worked but I also took out the daytime running light fuse. Dont know which worked but I got lights now. Thanks a bunch. I just love this site u guy are great.

Ordered a set of 55watts and 8k bulbs from DDMtuning a couple of days ago. I installed them today and nothing. Double checked everything and both lights fail to come on. Went back to originals and no problems. I tried searching the forum for HID but could find nothing about trouble shooting. I wired in the ballast and pluged in all connections and still not even a flicker of light from either side. I do have daytime running lights and auto on headlights. I switched to manual on and still they failed to light. This is on a 04 silverado.

You know this is what makes this site so great. All of you guys. I can not thank all of you guys . The knowledge the members have on this site is awsome.

Good to know . Hope your right. Also which is drain and which is fill. Is the bottom torx or hex drain and top fill ? Do you how much oil it takes ? Sorry for all the questions I just dont want to fry my magna .

I have about 60k on the magna. Stock pulley . I know I can get the oil from magna . I just dont know how to and how much oil. Like where is the drain plug or drain port and fill port. Looks like a bunch of torx or allen screws ?

Very good write up. I also had the rattle in the door and window down. The 04 Silverado I have had a plastic bolt/nail mid way in the front of the panel and had torx bolt with a plastic button to hide the apperance of the bolt mid way at the back of the door panel.

For the life of me I cant remember but one of the guys on this site has the neatest custom air box cover I have ever saw. It looks like it fits the original equipment but it is double sharp. Anybody have a clue ?

Went to the dealership and it was a broken shift actuartor .. Parts = 285.27 labor = 140.43 misc = 14.04 including tax total = 465.23

A couple of days ago I couldnt shift into park. After many tries it did then I couldnt get my key out and the battery light stayed on. Again after jiggling and wiggling I got it out. To make a long story short the problem is which I never realized is that once you shift in to park your shifter is spring loaded to go toward the dash after you go to park and mine doesnt. I guess it is spring loaded so if I go into park I have to push my shifter forward and the battery light goes out and the key comes out with no problem. I want it fixed but I do not trust the Chevy dealers anymore they will want to charge me around 400 dollars I bet. This is on a 2004 Silverado with all the controls in the steering wheel. something that I dont want to get into. Any body had this problem ?

Two young ladies lived together and one night as one of them was undressing the other spoke up and said ' What is that letter 'F' on your belly ' The young woman replied ' I went out with Frank and he forgot to take off his belt buckle ' Afew night later she again was undressing and her room mate noticed the letter C on her belly. She ask 'What is that letter 'C' one your belly' She replied ' I went out with Charlie and he forgot to take off his belt buckle ' Later in the week again she was undressing after a night out and the letters 'F C' was on her belly and her room mate says ' Well I see you went out with Frank and Charlie ' She repied ' No I went out with the Fire Chief and he forgot to take off his hat'

My numbers were not that good . I had 348.8 max power and torque was 426 on my 5.3 with the magna charger. this was at the rear wheels and on a rainy day. He said on a clear day I could have got a higher number. At the crankshaft thats around 418 (lowest number) could be higher. Stock pulley prob 5 to 7 pds boost. I believe its 3.4 pulley

Ur bad (Just kidding) but I do like ur jokes

Two squirrels playing in the forrest found some wood That they didnt know about so they took it to the wise old owl. He looked and looked at it. Finally he said 'Take it to the woodpecker'. So they did and he looked and looked at it. He pecked it once and said ' Well its not a son of a beech' He pecked again and said ' Well its not a son of a birch' He pecked once more and said ' By golly thats the best piece of ash I have put my pecker in a long time'

Two women were in church talking after the sermon. One said ' The sermon was so long my butt fell asleep'. The other women replied 'Yes I heard it snore three times'.

A depressed man was walking down the beach when a bolt of lightning hit in front of him and he heard a voice and the voice said ' THIS IS GOD AND I WILL GRANT YOU ONE WISH. The man ponder a moment and said ' I always wanted to take my family on a vacation but I cant afford to fly them , would you build a highway across the ocean to one of the islands and I will drive them there . God answered " WHY DONT YOU WISH FOR SOMETHING MORE, SOMETHING FOR MANKIND" 'NOT THAT I COULDNT BUILD THE BRIDGES AND HIGHWAYS ACROSS THE OCEANS' The man thought for a while and replied .'God help me understand women. What makes them sad ? What makes them cry ? What make them happy ? What makes them smile ? There was silence followed by more silence then God spoke ' About that highway, you want it two lane or four lane ?'.

Wally world. Not the best battery but they are every where 7 days a week and almost around the clock service.
