    Which Polymer Pistol?

    I love my XDs but not too fond of the XDM. I haven't been able to put my finger on the real difference but I know I love one and dislike the other. I personally don't like Glocks because they are designed to where you have to roll your wrist forward to properly align the sights. It makes for...

    First hand gun

    My advice to the OP: don't spend a grand on your first firearm. If your like me your collection will continue to grow so keep the first one reasonable and the price can go up as your taste changes. You can get into a Glock, Springfield XD, or equivalent for around $500 or less and they are great...

    First hand gun

    I'm not a Sig guy personally but they are a good, solid piece. My favorite carry is a Kimber Ultra Carry TLE II. Beautiful gun, easy to conceal, and the .45 will put anyone on their ass if need be. I also have the Glocks, Springfield XDs etc. If it is not going to be a carry gun don't rule out a...

    "Built" Allison longevity?

    All depends on driving habits, who the builder is, and power levels. A built trans at stock power is going to last forever. A built trans at 1500hp won't.

    Thank you Mike

    Ill throw in my $.02. I have done some business with Mike in the past. However, I doubt he even knows my name on account of all the people he interacts with on any given day. I have called him multiple times with questions or problems and even though he doesn't know me personally he was always...

    LB7: Raptor/Kennedy

    Have heard good things about Kennedy products and have seen some very good running trucks with his setup. I personally have run the Raptor pump and it treated me very well. It was pretty quiet and did its job. Good unit for the price.

    Chrome black out kit

    I have used BBQ paint on exhausts with good results. You end up with a matte black look so no go if your wanting a black chrome shiny look.

    Why do carriers/shippers do this?

    The real reason is the location of main shipping hubs. It is about volume and moving things in bulk. In your case it made more sense mathematically to throw your package in with a bulk shipment that might have gone past your location but was probably meant to catch another bulk shipment going...

    Want more power!

    You might have 30-40 more horse on the table with just changes in tuning. However, I have seen 750 wheel with stock turbo, CP3, and injectors with aggressive tuning/trans/water-meth/nitrous. Unless you are interested in looking into injectables then you have almost maxed out your options with...

    LMM: Whats next?

    Recipe for a 12 second Dmax: good EFI tune, fully built trans, pipe, lift pump, tie rod sleeves. If set up right this combination will put any generation Dmax into the 12s and over 500 wheel with the right tuning. Sleeves by themselves will work but make sure your torsions are all the way...

    Help: 2001 duramax

    I had this issue as well. Merchant Auto fuel filter assembly rebuild kit solved my problem.

    Leveling a LMM

    The Cognito leveling kit is the best option out there. Source the kit from Nick at NorCal. If you really want a sweet ride also get his custom valved Fox reservoirs and billet mounts. Very sweet!:thumb:

    Help: Got on interstate and something broke? (transfer case)?

    I bet you will find a pin-hold in your t-case and the case will be empty. If so, you most likely fried all the internals running it dry and need a new case or at least rebuild with new rear case and merchant pump rub fix.

    The truck looks good but where is the pic of the driver?

    Whats my truck worth???

    It is worth what someone will pay for it. In this economy the book value is nothing but a good starting point. Unfortunately, mods do not raise the value of the truck for most people. Just hope that you can find the right buyer who appreciates all the mods. I buy and sell trucks pretty often and...

    Sooo......what did you get??

    I made out like a bandit this year. I bought myself another new-to-me truck, Panther arms AR in .223, ammo, new Carhart jacket, new Foxpro digital predator call, shooting sticks, Buck knife, new tires for the new truck, Redfield scope/rings/mounts for the new AR, lures/hooks and other misc...
