Went around the last turn before the house and the rearend slid around and into a previous rut from our last major rain. If it wasnt for the gosh darn traction control crap i could get it out.. But its limiting the power to the truck, gonna have to hook up a atv tomorrow morning and pull it out.
Your truck is a wimp. Needs to grow an extra pair of cylinders

Morning.

What a weekend! I'm glad I got the chance to push my self to my limits and beyond for three days but I won't take a training class like that anytime soon. I think I shot around 600 rounds of 5.56 and 1100ish rounds of 9mm in three days. Getting sprayed in the face with Police issue pepper spray was an interesting experience to say the least and my advice is to avoid the experience if at all possible.

Not yet. It's on the list because I have to get tazed before I can become a Tazer instructor. I will tell you already the pepper spray is worse because it reactivates when sweat and when you take a shower.

I'm glad I've had the issues I've had. Feels good to help someone out.

Started thinking last night that it seemed like when i went into the boost is when the TC would kick on, So i put it on stock tune and it drove right out of the rut with the elocker engaged. Guess with these MPT tunes and extra boost doesnt help in the mud.

It may grow an extra 2 cylinder's when the 15's come out

Thinking about keeping the Eb since its paid for and get a '15.. If thats the case then i will go with the 5.0 in the new truck, I dont see a point in paying the extra $ for a '15 eb. The 5.0 be my cruiser and when i really need to do some work or have fun then i will drive the Eb

My phone is water proof/resistant. But no not recently.

Occasionally in the past I have taken it in the shower for music, but its been two weeks since ive done that.

It's my understanding that they are pretty strict around big cities.
