Cool


Hmm, I don't know if we could count you Wyldman, seeing what I seen you've done to your L.

My stock 2000 (287mi--heh, put it on in one weekend) hits around the 10 mark when I nail it.

Have to get used to that torque though...my Dodge Ram Van didn't have quite anywhere near it from a dead-stop.

Thumbs up

Pawn,

If you think it's mean now, just wait till you get a few more miles (and mods) on it.

Around 500, you start to notice it sounds meaner, around 1000 you start to feel the mean, and by 3K, it's all growed up and almost ready to leave home (with or without you).

Well, I was embarassed for awhile, since mine wouldn't get over 8 lbs., but now with 1500 miles on it it regularly pegs at 10 lbs. Did my first oil change over the weekend, and the old oil was really gray. Apparently, these motors are seriously tight, and really need some time to break in.

I can't wait! This beast is just so awesome.

BTW, Wyldman, thanks for the part numbers for the light covers!

Next things on my list are bedliner & cover first, then hood & superchip. Dang, I thought I spent alot of money on my computer hobbies, this is going to be huge.
