garrell.770 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Our trucks are getting quite old now and I am sure that many have succumbed to northern roads, snow and salt while others are just plain clapped out being high performance vehicles. I was wondering what the active membership is now compared to say six years ago. Fortunately my black 03 has been hanging in suspension during the time of and for a couple of years after a serious heart attack followed within a month by three strokes which left me with 100% memory loss and put me in a wheelchair for two years. I have had and still am relearning everything including relearning how to drive in the local high school parking lot and I now walk with a walking stick which I lean on heavily due to Parkinson's Desease and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I relearned to drive in my SS Silverado. One of the accomplishments I am most proud of is that eight months after I got out of the wheelchair I set a standing one mile landspeed record on the Maxton Mile in NC. The first trip I made I Made four runs in the Production Pickup class running around 123.5 + or- The next month after a little tweaking with a Hypertech a Tuner and a K&N cai kit I bumped the speed up to around 126 MPH. Now I need to find the appropriate forum heading because after getting a little more serious I was in the 134 MPH range so I thought I would step things up even more and after spending ds ppe$4,000 to $5,000.00 more and expecting to run 138 to 140 last Sept. The performance mods were my idea after much research but to my surprise on the Ohio Mile my speeds fell to 130.00 so now I am going to seak the opinion of the experts as to where I went wrong. By the way my truck now has 52,000 miles on it and with some exterior mods it looks better than ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
