I have the 35's also and wanted to go with the 4.56's but the few tech's I have talked to said that is old school and 4.10's would be a better match. Something to think about. I currently have the 3.73LS and driving 7,000 miles with this configuration, it is my feeling that the gear change is necessary. It just does not shift properly. I said it once and I will say it again, nice job with the mods.

All of your mods are great and I really appreciate the number of pics you've posted and all the different angles! That's the exact amount of detail we're looking for before we make purchases!

Thanks again...

Truck looks great man.

Not to be too nosy, but you've sparked my curiosity. If you're 18 years old with a nearly $40K truck with $8K invested in it and I assume when you say "my garage" that it means you have your own house. What do you do for a living?

well, my father has a ford dealership in massachusetts.(drum hill ford if your from the area) i live in florida now with my mom but we still get cars from my dad. what i meant was my side of the garage that i cant fit in any more. the mods were me, i dont make a killing but next year my tuition is paid for and im not living on campus so most of the money i make goes to my car. i work at this furnature warehouse out at the beach ive been there for a couple years now its a pretty good deal. sorry if i seemed like some freak.

Your truck looks fantastic.

May I ask where you bought your Rancho kit? Best price I've found for the 4'' has been $1600.00.

Thanks!

Your truck looks really nice.
I sent you an e-mail about the leveling kit. I'm interested in buying it from you if you want to sell it. If you could respond to it or here I'd appreciate it.

No not at all man, you seem cool. I was just like... man this kid's got money!!!

Where do you live in Florida? I used to live in Miami and also worked at a furniture store (ElDorado Furniture).

What performance mod did you notice the most difference from?

Where did you get your underdrive pulleys. I wasn't aware they were out for our trucks. Did you notice any increase in power from them?

a friend of mine just asked about that yesterday. im pretty sure he'll take it but if not ill let you know asap.


i live just south of jacksonville st.johns county, i cant really say which gave me the most power but i would value the exhaust over the other engine mods. it enhances both the cosmetic and performance worlds you know.

this is where the pully is, plus a lot of other great stuff. its hard to notice a difference with just one mod. all the things together though have changed the trucks power drastically from its stock form.

i got the kc400 offroad lights. i got those the same place as the bull bar

i have a question. the bolts on the stock headers. are they extreamly difficult to lossen? i get those jba ones monday. it seems like its a super tight fit down on the side of the engine, has anyone installed these before. ive done all those other engine parts but im in the dark with this. thanks
