I sold this truck a year ago, and by blind luck I just happened to check the old-school AOL e-mail account that this forum was linked to, and saw a reply alert. No, the 5100's won't allow spring separation at max articulation as long as you're running spacers. They are designed to work with...

From the pics, it doesn't seem like the paintjob is really my cup 'o tea...but I'm sure it looks sick in person once you can see the color transitions. You obviously put a great deal of effort into your lady's truck, so I appluad you for that. And holy sh!t dude, I don't think I have the...

I'll still take it if you don't want it. ;) If you'd rather not hassle with it and just toss it, thats cool too. Just thought I'd ask.

Been looking for one of these for my truck, actually. I kinda like the look, and wouldn't mind the extra protection now that my leveling kit is installed and the truck sits a little higher. I'd take it off your hands for the cost of shipping if your interested in just getting rid of it....

I actually use 85 octane, but that's only becasue I'm up in Denver. At high altitude, we can get away with it with no ill effects. At or below sea level, I ran 87 octane in all of my naturally aspirated vehicles. For my supercharged GTP, I ran Shell V-Power exclusively. When I get my tune...

Personally, I do everything transmission related all at once, and I do it every 30K miles. Pan drop on the trans, drain and fill front and rear diff/T-case. That might be overkill, but I'd rather do it too much than not enough. My vehicles have always served me well. I view the owners manual...

You know Ray, I just got them about 3000 miles ago at Discount Tire (free rotations for the life of the tires), and got a 4-wheel alignment right afterwords. I'm probably going to head back over there today and get them rotated for the first time. So far they have been excellent, but again they...

Yeah, just make sure you tell the neighbors not to call the fire department if you run it through your intake...it makes quite a smoke show! It's fun though. :D

I've heard GREAT things about the new 6.0 Vortec. When I get my hands on a new Seirra, I'll probably plunk down the cash for the VortecMAX 6.0 package. 367hp and 375tq...those trucks are no slouches. The 8.1 was only rated around 340-350hp IIRC. But if thats the way you need to go, its not a...

93 Octane isn't any "cleaner" than 87 or 89. Your truck was designed to run on 87, so use it! Theres no point in running 93 or even 89 unless you're tuned for it and the engine can take advantage of it. Octane in and of itself is simply the measure of the gasoline's resistance to detonation...

The 8.1s are beasts...I've heard alot of good things about them as far as towing abilities. About the best power you can get without going to a diesel rig. However...that comes at a significant drop in mileage. Good luck getting above 6-7mpg with one of those things when towing. Personally...

Oh and did you have your flares painted? If so, how much did it run you to get the colormatch done?

Yeah, it's pretty noticeable, especially when you get into the pedal a little bit and build up some line pressure. It's not a teeth-rattling shift, but it's definitely firmer. I think it's a great mod, and when I get my BB tune I'm planning on having justin up the line pressure a tad more for...

Thats a badass custom setup. Very nice job.

Wow, prices have gone up. Maybe ford is catching onto the lifting trend. Found them for $44 here: http://www.teamfordparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=searchCatalogOEM&siteid=214270 Type this part number into the search window: XL3Z-5B328-CA ETA: $43.95 at Titus Will...
