situations goes like this.

trucks not mine its my dads..

he lets me use it to go to work and whatever else..

he's a trucker and only needed the truck on the weekends and mondays..

job i have is a 4-10 shift but i have to work mondays ..

TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT..

was going to get the harley as MY primary mode of transport..

realized how STUPID that was since the truck woulda sat at a storage place, away from where i coulda used it if there was crappy weather out and i couldnt ride the bike..

so he worked out a deal, we get a car. he drives the car. i get the truck..

he pays for the truck and i pay for the car..

im co-signer for the car so it builds my credit..

trucks mine. cars his.

OTHERWISE it would be, trucks his, bikes mine..

and that woulda got old real fast after going through a few T-storms in it..

plus side is i also get to do whatever i want to the truck..

you guys gotta realize im only 19 so wth?

That's what I used in the first flush, mine still slipt - Flushed it again used amsoil this time, It still slipt , but got better as time went on , Finally added rear end friction modifier that the old guy Lenny, think that was his name - anyway he built tranmissions all his life and talked me into trying it .

Freaking thing hasn't slipt a notch sense. WTF

Not kidding - friction modifier !! It's working so far..

Here's the biggest difference I noticed about Amsoil in the trans. I went 240 mile round trip - 120 miles @ 79mph on cruise. Pulled in the garage and checked the trans oil - biggest trip so far since the change . After a trip like that with my other fluid, the oil and dipstick would be hot as hell.

That Amsoil was luke warm - It sold me right there..

At least you can keep that s^^t straight. That's like an episode of the mother-in-law's soaps right there, just without the cuban accent.

So all this time you've been an F150 wannabe with daddy's truck. Ahhhhhh, I seeeee.

Finally, things are making some sense.

o well,

They don't care about the lift kits at the dealership - they don't add a thing to the price, they go by the book . They take em because they can sell them to some young buck. But a Ford factory Supercharger - Thats a Ford option - that counts..

Yeah, but they are working fine here. They are just linked images, just like to any other picture except they are a .gif (animated .gif). I'm not seeing any "?" at all.
