Re: Camming the kid's 5.3 Both seem to be equally good, I'm happy with my Yank, and plenty of guys love their Circle Ds. Circle D seems to be growing pretty quickly, while Yank has been around longer.

Re: Wheels - Time for some changes We rarely seem to disagree on this kind of stuff, but we're on completely different wavelengths here. :lol: To me, that wheel face looks like something out of a DUB catalog. Just flat black, instead of ghettofabulouschrome.

Re: Wheels - Time for some changes After his last post, I have determined that Tobias is either drunk, or has lost his eyesight.

Yeah I didn't want it to sound faster than it was. Nothing is worse than a slow truck that lopes like a drag car. No, but I'm sure you were bored 30 times over watching that video.

So after almost 2 years I finally got an idle clip of my truck. For those of you that don't know, it's a 6.0 with a 216/224 .561/.563 114 LSA cam, longtubes, magnaflow cats, into a single 3" Borla XR1 (the 16" long oval case muffler). Excuse my ghetto exhaust hanger. The small amount of lope...

Re: Wheels - Time for some changes Keep the Jesters, they just... Work.

Re: Wheels - Time for some changes If you're going to ditch the Jesters, I like this one. And I think either 18s or 20s would look good, though I might be leaning towards 20s, I just think they look right on your truck.

Put the MTZs back on before our ski trip. The Revos might be nearing the end of their useful life. :jester: Yes, the quarter WAS necessary...

Re: Camming the kid's 5.3 Unless it's Comp. When I was researching cams I called them, and the guy said, "Well, if it's a 4x4, I'd go with the 212/218, nothing bigger." "Why?", I asked him. "I'm planning on running a converter with a 3000 rpm stall speed." He responded with, "A...

Re: Camming the kid's 5.3 Cool. Just be careful of the o-ring on the oil pump/pickup tube when you're reinstalling the pump, tons of people pinch the o ring, have no oil pressure, and have to do it all over again. :lol:

Re: Camming the kid's 5.3 Que? Peep the signature, sir. The 212/218 with a stock converter in a RCSB would be pretty fun. Won't have a whole lot off the line, but that's not a horrible thing as far as traction goes. Any reason you're going to do rod bolts on such a mild/simple setup? Most...

Bag it.

I've had some on my truck since the engine swap, no major issues so far.

This makes Dan sad.

I like that car, nice and subtle.

I'm not a fan at all, looks like something a 16 year old would put on a Civic. Plus, the location just doesn't really flow with anything. I generally don't like LED strips on anything though, so I'm probably a bit biased.

That comment was in regard to GMT800 trucks. The GMT900s all have struts and rack and pinion steering (half ton, anyway), but on the GMT800 trucks all 4wd models had the recirculating ball steering box style, I believe it was because of clearance, since the frame wasn't designed to fit the 4wd...

Keep in mind I also own (and am happy with the power of) a 1.6L Miata. :D I will guarantee you those weren't 300 thousand "phenomenal" miles though. :D2

I'm sorry, but there will never be anything "phenomenal" about the 4.3 in a fullsize truck. :rollin:

Should have been aborted...

I'm guessing it's due to the fact that 2wd has rack and pinion steering, while 4wd still has the old recirculating ball steering box.

Seems about standard for a Dodge owner. :D2

Any codes?

Got the bitch inspected, and it actually passed. :lol:
