i really want to get some mods done to my truck but my dads says its fast enough already(stock). i want to get a new MAF 90mm a chip and a 4#lower pulley. but he doesnt want to because he is afraid of voiding the warranty. i told him u can take the stuff of if needed but is still stubborn.

what should i do to convince him to get mods????

Fly him out here and I'll give him a ride in our test truck. If that doesn't do it, nothing will.

 

If I was your dad, it would depend on your age.
If you're too young, I'd say "No."
If you were old enough, I'd ask "why are you asking me, you're a grown man."

17 not 2 young

 

Young enough... Just try to find a Lightning in your area that runs in the mid 12's and have him go for a ride...

 

my friend has one that runs low 13's but i dont think him taking a ride will change his mind

 

Well then there is another way of looking at it. Does your dad really need to know? If you have the money... Find some garage time when your dad isn't home... See where im going? Yeah...

Really, some people are they way about vehicals (or anything for that matter). If it isn't broken, dont fix it...

 

Job at Blockbuster video?

 

job is taken care of

 

No flame intended...but I say do what I did, and pay for it yourself. But if all else false, and you depend on mommy and daddy, then try it this way.

(Using the mods you listed)

Chip and 90 MM mass air:
This combo (stress the combo part) is not only completely safe, but also has more uses than performance. With a this combo it will improve shift firmness which will save life on the tranny clutchpacks, and it also utilizes all the unburnt gas, by efficiently burning it. . It'll increase my MPG, enigne longivity, and tranny longivity. Also tell him the extra air from the air meter cools the eninge down more, which also promotes a long engine life.

Pulley:
This will be a little harder.
All I can think of is, that it frees up weight from the engine, which takes away uneeded stress.

If this doesn't work, try subliminal messages (Hey, it worked when I was 10 and wanted a BB gun)

p.s. sorry for any misspelled words. just got out of class.

Also, if he wants to take a ride in my L, I'll be happy to show him what a few "mods" can do. And I can give him my experiences with warranty work and mods.

 

no im gonna pay for the mods myself

 

hey blackbolt99 do u know where zoomer got those headlights and how much those look tough id like to get some?

 

Well first: Are you the one paying/paid for the truck?

If so then take BB99's suggestions to convince Dad, and pay for the mods yourself.

If not I would do as Dad says and that way you'll get more value out of a trade for a Gen III.

 

Just come home with the truck modded, thats what I do. My dad said I couldn't mod the truck at all. Then I came home with the windows tinted and he liked it, then a chip, then lowered and so on. Start small work your way up, pay for it yourself, make sure he will like it and youre home free.

 

Is it your truck or his? If it's his leave it alone. If it's yours why are you asking?
