So i went to another shop for quote on the gears. This shop was better by about 100 bucks, but, while i was talking to the owner/head tech, he was insisting that i dont need gears i just need a hypertech max e-con programer, he said that it would fix the gear hunting the truck does and i would go from 10 mpg to 16-17 and when i told him i have a custom tuned xcal-2 he went on to say that my constant shifting is in the tune and it needs to be rewritten. He said he doesnt like SCT and that the hypertech tuner is a custom file for my truck. He also said that it would hurt my tranfercase and the tranny by goin to that gear set

Needless to say i will not be bringing my truck in to that shop

Pace myself, like in the "Slacker's Code"! I am taking a linch break before making a Wal Mart run. This 76 degree weather is nice for working outside, going to put some weed and feed down later.

Here's a link to his thread. I'm not sure if you have to be a member to view it or not.

So what did you get? I bought my .40 Springfield XD and love it. If you have monkey paws like me it fits nicely. I also just picked a S&W 380 bodygaurd two weeks ago. Hope to pop it off soon. Little bitty dude but fits beautifully in the front pocket.
