Meet me at the track and I'll show you how slow a 00 is
People can pick this L apart all they want but the bottom line is anytime there's an add that starts with,
I'm selling this for someone else.......
There is only one thing to do

Now if I was selling it THEN you could trust what you read,
and if I said it had Gold Plated Rods then got dam it it has Gold Plated Rods

BTW 3 decades and @80 perfomance Vehicles sold and NEVER ONCE a call back or problem. HEY whatever happen this time happen 1000 miles later for whatever reason BUT it was nothing I or anyone else could know about so enough with the Rob jokes already (although that was funny MOP) hehehe

You do know thats the only difference dont you? You act like they are a different vehicle because of these mods. '01-'04 snob
threads in the heads (extremely important), better innercooler that doesnt leak, appearance mods that make it look like it should besides the tailights, so.....no its not stronger rods for a MAF and gears. Theres not even proof that the rods are stronger, it just appears that way due to them lasting longer thanks to the weak factory tune and it not blowing them up as easily.

Getting close Ron, I think!! It has been two years and it is killing me. I have been kicking it around and definately keeping my eyes open. I like the room of this super crew I have now so I have also been looking into Harley's. I dont know!!

I was not looking to buy this one. Way over priced in my opinion, (all though it is a tastefully done truck IMO) I was asking because of the rods. I had never heard of that before and didnt want to call some one out if it was true.

BTW... You ready to sell the milk truck?? That may get me moving a little faster on a deal!! Still my favorite!!

Yeah, because so many factory tuned lightnings were throwing rods

Threads in the heads also the case in 01-02, so after the intercooler is replaced for free which most were, and you throw some new headlights on, what exactly is the difference? I bet you could not tell me what year my Lightning was without me telling you.

really?
So I'm sure you researched the topic of 99-00 rods eh? Saw the pictures of them side by side with out years? Yes they are thesame part number, but they are completely different!

Rookies...

Call up Sal, sinc he started NLOC and has tuned thousands of lightnings and built many engines yada yada... see what his thoughts on it are?
