  1. would these be a good replacement tire? http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/f...id=008862&ar=55 those or the hankook ventus tires???
  2. i just got my pickup recently. and today was my first experience with rain, while drivin her. lets just say it got a lil scary...see i totaled my last truck (company veh.) down in houston when it was raining. happened 3 months ago. so im still a lil leery about driving in it. (the rain that is) just really posting this to see if anyone else's sss gets a lil squirly when wet?? maybe i just need new tires. it has 70k mi. on it and it looks like it still has the stockies on there. or at least the same brand as the stock tires....either way they're balding. (like i prolly will be in a couple years ) anyhow, have a good one!
  3. We're getting together on the 21st, not the 28th. Hope you can still make it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well then, looks like i'll be able to make it after all. got a job interview though monday. we'll see how that goes. hate to ask off on my first day!!
  4. ok i did a search for "stripes" "stripe" "striped" etc.... and came up with nothing like i'm talking about. oh well.
  5. did it look good??? im gonna search as well.
  6. bumping for more rearend pics...i'd luv to see it from different angles. i've never seen one in person before....and usually im against any kind of wing on a pickup...but this one has a "sleekness" to it. really clean looking!!
  7. dont usually like the stick on scoops...but you pulled that one off nicely!! kudos to you!
  8. i wonder if he could make a vinyl that went all the way from the bottom front bumper across the color matched front, across the hood, the cab, and then came down the tailgate and rear bumper. i see that on dodges alot and i like it. i dont know how this would come out on a silverado ss....interested though. can anyone photoshop that??
  9. you did that with just nitrous??? wow thats awesome!
  10. my friend owns an sti. and yeah they are pretty damn quick. my last car was a turbo charged rsx-s. (i was big into imports until i bought my sss) that car had 400whp and 275lbs of twist...in a 2800lb car!!! i miss it. just wasnt practical as a daily driver anymore. i've blown away sti's and evo's alike. but then again i had over $12k into that car...put that same money into an sti or evo and u are flyin!!!! lovin the AWD... good kill bro! but you gotta be careful in cali.
  11. wow...just read this whole thread...to find out the guy is a poser.
  12. ^^like an air/fuel ratio gauge or an egt gauge. prob, would want to run an oil temp and a boost guage as well. that way u really know what goin on under the lid.
  13. i just realized, after looking at my calender, that my family is having a halloween party on the 28th. we have it every year, sort of a tradition, and i cant miss it...that sucks, cuz i was really wanting to meet up with everyone. oh well, maybe next time...u guys have fun! and dont give those hooter girls too hard of a time.
  14. good to here! i get so exited every time i get on here. i learn something new everyday about this truck. and everyday it makes me glad i found it. i think the only way i'd get rid of her is if someone pried it from my cold dead fingers!! and i bought it used. that guy must not have know what he had...
  15. i'm currently jobless right now, but if i land this interview monday, then i'll try to become a supporting member. i really like what this site has to offer. plus i'm actually gonna keep this veh. lol
  16. how much does a tune usually run for one of these radix kits?? btw nice price. btw, where are you located?? and what kind of #'s can one expect from this kit?
  17. have any pics of the grill on the truck?? thanks jake
  18. def. could use the stereo if no one picks up the whole thing. sorry for your loss bro, hope everyone was ok in that one.
  19. ohhhh. so thats where the seafoam comes in. see i had a mechanic awhile back tell me that its pointless to use a "fuel system cleaner". to just buy the higher octane (91) at the pump. and it would be the equivlant to running a fuel system cleaner every oil change...glad to find out he was wrong now, instead of 10 years from now. btw, im currently using 89 octane...and i'll just run some fuel cleaner in there every oil change. which i'll be using a full synthetic oil. (mobil1 or castrol) so that will be every 7500mi. sound good? im keeping this truck, so i want it to last me. i've never had a car longer than a year, so i'm not to "big" on longtivety (sp). and my dad is the same way....chip off the ole block i guess. ha!
  20. thats okay, OU has had the golden hat for too long anyhow...it was time to give the longhorns some of their dignity back.
  21. i thought premium fuel reduced carbon???
  22. ^^it didnt...i just assumed it would have one. i stated that in my 5th post.
  23. ^^^when u say "premium" fuel are u reffering to 89 octane??
  24. very informative. thanks for answering all those questions. and the tranny flush would include a pan drop. they said they have some kind of machine that does it all. (i thought i could do this myself, but apparently not) i'll def. check on the inj. flush. and i can do the filter myself. (save a couple $) and i'll check into lucas. it seems everytime i try to use an injector cleaner, that my vehec. performs worse afterwards.?.? maybe i've been using the wrong inj. cleaner... thanks again man!! +rep for you!
  25. i bought an extended warranty when i got the truck. (3yr or when the truck reaches 110k mi.) so i'll have them check this out. didnt know it came stock. lol has anyone had a problem after having it replaced? i mean is it a recurring issue that cant be solved? or is it a waste of time getting fixed?? something that might be considered "regular maintance"
