Re: Girls And Shocks

very true turf, i ran my stock shocks for about 100,000 miles changed them at 100,000 just because i felt like 100,000 was quite a bit even though it felt fine. i have now put 3 sets on in 96,000 all of which felt good for about a week then felt just as bad as the ones i replaced. currently i have s...

Re: Don't got to Seattle for ThanksGiving with your good car

Re: New member - New purchase of second van question

look in the passenger door jam for a sticker with a bunch of letters and numbers, those are your RPO's. if you see G80 anywhere it means it has a limited slip/posi rear end if it says GT4 right before or after it it means you have 3.73 gearing which in my opinion is the best feeling ratio. you can l...

Re: New member - New purchase of second van question

yeah 10,000 less miles isnt that big of a difference to make it worth getting the 03 just for the mileage. 12,000 miles a year aint like they pounded the thing either as far asey the 05 goes. i would really look over the entirety of each as they each have reasonable miles and one isnt too much older...

well, a good old 12valve cummins always sounds good at idle. but yes my friends 6.2 sounds way cooler than my duramax does at idle. by the way i posted a link to this on the dieselplace.com forum that i belong to hope you dont mind. there is a category called frankenstein i thought it was fitting.
