What did you do to your other vehicle today?

[Tronner]

Me likey the Hemi, Sounds good at 3-4k RPM. Sounds loud in the Driveway cause it has a manifold leak. The wife likes it when I let er rip getting on the Highway. I have to say, I like the 8pd transmission too, shifts like butter, hardly notice the shift points. My neighbor across the street has a 1500 with the V6, I see the jealousy on his face when I start up the HEMI LOL

LS style racing head .

1960's GMC V - 6 head , there is a reason for a sub 4000 r.p.m. redline .

Yeah, but they also have to buy wires...

We should rate gasoline engines on the HP/spark plug scale.

Understandable, if I go back to 35s I'm taking the spacers off, otherwise it will rub like crazy.

i like it , however it is obvious that you drive on pavement more than mountain dirt roads with snow and mud . You couldn't see even out the windshield after driving 1000' on a Colorado Rockies road in the winter !

Well, that's what I have wipers for I do want to take this thing mudding, and I just moved to one of the best places to do it. This was a place a bunch of my buddies went a couple years ago.

I'll take any chance I can get to go muddin lol

The first time you sink a full size truck to the frame will probably be the last time you want to.
I love mud but only with smaller rigs!

I'm already in the process of developing those for jeeps without A/C, shouldn't be too hard to adapt
