Geezz, you guys still goin at it

Well , a buddy that works at Carquest brought over the hole thing - starter and solenoid - I only needed the solenoid, oh well , that set up has a lifetime warranty he says so I guess I'll use.. Carquest was closed today , so that was cool he went in and got me the parts , I prolly should pay some on my tab up tomorrow lol..

Well , I fired up the burner and got the shop up to about 40 degrees lol, fixing my horns next - only ones working , sounds freakin gay!! That's f'ed up..must fix..

Yeah, I remember passing a 4six going up hill about 60-65 mph - I was just on cruise , purring right along . I got along side him and I here his truck downshift third and he had to give it hell just to make the hill lol..My 5four didn't skip a beat , stayed on cruise..Felt kinda sorry for him.....Nahhhh, not really .

does a 54 pontiac star chief count? or a 2800lb tool box in the bed of the truck count to? im sure my 4.6 has towed many more heavy items than your truck ever has.
