Hello from Louisville!

Horrible wind noise in this video. I've GOT to get a couple of those "cat whiskers" things to take care of that...
But you can still make out how my big-a$$ truck shifts with a worn out 5.7.

Wind noise and all you can still hear the distinctive ol TBI opening up

I'm going have to try same style video just so I can hear what mine sounds like lol

Hey folks. Feels like I haven't been on here in 6 months. I haven't had any time to install the big 3 or the 4 high kits yet. A lot of other things going on. Quit my ****** job, start a new one Monday... things like that! I did get to use the truck for what it's intended for today. Here's some pictures. Poor non E rated tires. I didn't think they were going to make it, but they did.

Welcome back! I couldn't do that with my truck

Congrats on your new job!

It was a VERY sketchy 2.8 mile drive to the father in law's house at 35 MPH. It was all about the tires. If I had the proper tires on, it would have been fine. I got lucky.

So... the river gravel saga is over. 20,000 pounds of the stuff in total. My truck has earned its keep for sure! I'm tired of shoveling rock into 5 gallon buckets!

Today ended great and comical. My youngest son (4 year old) FINALLY decided he was not scared of his Lamborghini (power wheels)! He learned quickly and drove it till the battery died. He's almost too darn big for the thing, but at least he's hooked on the fun of driving now. Proud dad moment.

Next up brushless motor swap for drifting power wheels!

Over volting the motor with Milwaukee or snap on batteries works really well too!

They're only flat on the bottom....

You can bend the rules a bit if you go slow enough to not overheat the tires. Heck, I drive slow running empty!
