That's just not right!

Ian, have you heard Bleu's Finger on the Trigger? Intense.

I put the big tune back in my truck tonight and I was grinning ear to ear all the way home from work. Kind of like this

I've been wanting to set my truck back to stock just for comparison sake. I know I'm not going to want to drive around like that too long though

Yeah it really sucks putting it back to stock, I did it for an hour when I was trying to find that vibration last fall and I hated it. I have been running the tow tune in the truck for most of the winter and it's bearable but I'm going to Green Bay on Saturday so I want to get the best mileage I can. I will never be able to drive a stock diesel again after having one that's been tuned.

Mine hasn't left the 87 tow tune since I've had it. I still can't believe how much more enjoyable it is to drive. I can't wait until I get my custom tunes.

Ebay must be selling their truck.

I suspect about $1500-2000.

Those will be awesome.

i hope its a little lower or i might be doing them. i build gear cases for boats all the time so im no stranger to shimming and setting up gears but ive never done a truck axel so i would rather not do it,(just too expesive to make a mistake) if anything i will let them do the rear and ill do the front as it doesnt see much action.
