  4. Led Ipcw Third Brake Light?

    in Appearance, Cleaning, & Detailing

    Posted

    I decided to go with Leds for my third brake light but am having problem with the installation kinda. It is plug and play piece of cake. I take off the old oem light and plug in the new one. I tested my brake lights, bright, and for my cargo lights...I got nothing so I play with the wires a bit and still nothing. I plug in my old light again and i got cargo lights so I am like WTF? I take the old one off again and put on the new one and walaa bright cargo lights. I turn them off and try again and now there's nothing. Anyone have this problem? How do you trick the truck so to say?

  6. Ss Accident With A Great Ending...

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    I know accidents suck at first but there is always a happy ending. Yesterday I went to a ford dealership for my damage inspection by progressive and they gave me their estimate of $1900 of damage but they wanted me to get it fixed at the dealership. I ended up getting a estimate from my auto body guy for $3200 and I ended up throwing the estimate to him telling him I want it done at the shop of my choice and he barely said anything. He cut me a check for the $3200 and its only costing me $1300 to fix. It was a good day yesterday and on the plus side with gas prices at almost $4 a gallon, I got a little 4 cyclinder to put put around in. As far as the storage unit auctions, I have made a ton of money doing it and found alot of cool things from a very old triumph motorcycle buried to a schwinn bike also buried. Those are my two big money makers from it. Ive also found a nolan ryan signed jersey and a whole bin full of signed memorbilia from alot of top athletes. Ive also found bins full of old comic book sets and old train sets. You wouldn't believe the crap I've found. I'v been doing it for a year now and I love it and the money I've made is unreal...thank god for craigslist!

  7. Ss Accident With A Great Ending...

    So I was waiting at a stop sign to get on a highway after filling up the SS and the snow was comming down pretty hard. I was on my way to a storage unit that I purchased at a auction the day before and was going to pick up a second load to bring home to sort out and sell. While I was waiting, I saw a old beat up rusty pathfinder comming down the highway with his blinker on getting ready to turn. I looked to my right and it was clear and just as I was about to go, I look to my left and this guy who was turning ended up hitting my truck right behind the rear tire smashing my tail- light into pieces, putting a huge dent on the side of my bed and messing up my bumper. He was going way to fast and over-estimated his speed into the slush/snow covered road slamming into me . I had a ton of emotions within me and wanted to kill this guy but kept my cool and stayed relaxed. My wife in the passenger seat though was the opposite and was hysterical and pissed. I calmed her down and told her to stay in the truck. I get out, my wife calls the cops and I wait for the cops to come. The cops come and the funny part of this story was, The cop says to me "What's wrong with you?" I said "What do you mean" The cop replied "This is a shame! This is too nice of a truck to be out in this weather" I laughed and said "I know but its my daily driver" The cop replied with " Go get a damn junker and keep that in a heated garage" I just laughed and walked away.While I was walking away, I noticed in my truck, my wife was crying. I get in the truck and ask her whats wrong? She said" This is your baby and I didn't want her to be hurt like this, she don't belong in a body shop" I calm her down and said " It's ok, shit happens but all I know is progressive( other drivers insurance) is going to pay big time for the shitty drivers they insure!" I kept thinking that I just thought it was cool that a truck that is 8 years old gets that many compliments to this day...I just thought I would share my story and if anyone is interested I can post pictures too..

  14. Volant Cai Help?

    in Bolt On Performance

    I purchased the Ram Air scoop with mine. Pain in the ass to install but I got a great price on both CAI and scoop. I would think it helps considering it is more forced but I dont know if i'd pay a buck and a quarter for one. Make your own its cheaper.

  15. Superbowl Half Time Sucked

    I agree...I thought the dancers in the background were better than the black eye peas. The only good part I liked in the performance was when they brought in SLASH! Christina must feel like a ass that she shit on america, her career is already going down the drain, this prolly didnt help.

  19. Ss Get Together?

    in Events, Gatherings, & Rallys

    Posted

    I am kinda new to the whole site but I was just wondering if there is any SS get togethers that are close to where I live which is upstate Ny...I would love to detail my truck up and show it to the world of SS owners...I don't have much upgrades in my truck but it is still a SS. Someone shine some light for me. Thanks.

  20. Volant Cai Help?

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted

    The only problem I had was lining up the screws for the MAF sensor to the inside of the box with that one piece...The instructions sucked but after getting that on and tight it was a piece of work. I noticed a huge difference in accerelation and I bet my truck can finally breath. I also had trouble getting the box lined up with the original holes to bolt it down...It's nice...I like it but I am thinking of getting the ram air scoop? Anyone have their opinions on it or is it a waste of 100 plus dollars?

  23. Muffler Question?

    in General SS

    Posted · Edited by SS_fr0m_Ny (see edit history)

    I decided to go with two 4" round magnaflow mufflers. My welder charged me 50 plus tax to put them in and it sounds mean and loud...Now I need to better Intake. Any Suggestions? I am looking at Volant and AEM or K & N...I havent heard much rave about AEM so its closer to Volant. Anyone wanna chime in?
