Sounds good, im thinking about painting my rims black to. They have no center cap. Mines got a 350 5 speed, ands it SO fun to drive. We are think about maybe a 4 speed and 4/6 drop. But im going to be following your thread :)

What ya think? I did it for myself to kind of get a idea of what it would look like with the black rims, and i thought you might want to see it lowered. http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...Untitled-3.png

First one apparently froze and broke the block, he replaced it, but has had many problems since. The other just popped, he drove the dog pie out of it though.

I wasn't inferring that you would haul junk with it. To quote dad "some trucks haul ****, and some haul ass. Some haul both, but not at the same time."

400 ft/lbs will be a great engine if you use it as a daily driver. Quite a respectable engine.

Hopefully it is ok on the lower end.

or 4.55 or 4.88, depending on where your power band is going to be.
Any way you go about it, a big power engine isn't going to get MPG's. The minor gains you get from products such as exhaust upgrades, cam upgrades and such make the truck sound great which in turn makes the driver plant the petal, and waste gas.

Not saying that you are one of those people, but they are out there, and maybe they will read this and learn.

i understand you there. But not everyone has that logic of just cause its there don't mean you have to show it off. Really I hate them guys around here that say "I thought that muffler was supposed to get more MPG's". The only real response to them is "back out of WOT a little and it will work"

and wow, you have a working radio?? I have 3 trucks and not a single am/fm between them. Three wonderful 40 Channel CB's though.

I will no longer be posting on this forum. I am a member of some 30 forums, and never once had anything negative said to me by an admin. I have been suspended twice from this forum and had my posts deleted for absolutely no reason. I have been accused of slander, prejudice slurs, trolling, and making service of denial threats, none of which have happened. The only thing I have done, is not allow a couple of cocky admins to walk all over me. If one of the admins wish to ban me again, more power to you, I don't care. As I said before, when I was accused of making a denial of service attack, I am a computer technician. No matter what you do, I can still return to this site and surf. This is not a threat, just mocking your pathetic attempt of control over me . Good bye
