You know the sound Im talking about.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*vegaschevy* · 08-28-2009, 12:43 PM

Where you are sitting in the living room watching NFL network and you hear the brakes. Not just any cars brakes. The brakes of the UPS truck. For some reason they all make the noise and they are all distinct enough that you hop up to head to the door.
The parts you ordered have arrived and it is Christmas in August

Gumby'sC20 · 08-28-2009, 12:45 PM

You're lucky its UPS.

The sound of FedEx is the sound of the Jeopardy theme

ERASER5 · 08-28-2009, 01:40 PM

Whites Performance perhaps?

68gmsee · 08-28-2009, 04:50 PM

Great sound when you're expecting something!

My little dog knows the sound from 2 blocks away. She hates any delivery person so I'm usually outside the door waiting when he drives up...

**SOON2BLAZE** · 08-28-2009, 05:43 PM

I love that sound!

fdbdw · 08-28-2009, 06:52 PM

I saw the fed ex truck comming down the street the other day and I got all excited, then I realized I had'nt ordered anything this week, man that was like watching Santa Clause skip your house,

ll____b0t____ll · 08-28-2009, 07:32 PM

Correct me if im wrong but thats a JEGS order isnt it?
I have the same H.E.I and love it better than any Ive found online, you do get what you pay for with that item.

big mike71 · 08-28-2009, 07:46 PM

My fed ex and ups guys just leave on your porch while you're work no matter what it is. I have thought about saying I didn't get it but I haven't.

72BlckButy · 08-28-2009, 07:48 PM

Nice delivery!

And I know the exact sound you are talking about... music to my ears, just not to my wallet.

BAGNDRAGIT · 08-28-2009, 09:20 PM

I love that sound!! And new parts!!

A friend of mine refers to UPS as the 'Brown truck of happiness".

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-28-2009, 11:51 PM

HAHAHAAH brown truck of happiness....

*vegaschevy* · 08-29-2009, 12:53 AM

SKip White order,

I did not wan to put any money into the parts on this motor as I am wanting to rebuild a 383 for a daily driver. However I did not see a reason not to replace the Dizzy at a 42 dollar price tag.
Besides it will help it run a little better till the motor gets replaced.

This week I am hoping to get it all installed. Probably tuesday.

Skip does have the right price on those dizzys.

**Green Machine** · 08-29-2009, 08:35 AM

I love it too when the UPS guy shows up too, usually more cool truck parts, but sometimes you have to be careful, check out this link for a laugh at my expense
