It's been a while since I've been in here. Just sold my 2015 F-350 CCSB 6.7 to a friend and bought a 2008 GMC that another friend owned. Nothing wrong with the Ford as it was a solid truck. Tax reasons was time get rid of it. Didn't want to drop a ton of money on a new truck for the company yet. Waiting to see how the new ones fair that will be coming out. So I went with what I know are solid trucks!

Hi Steve, been a while! How's the car running? What's the plans for the LMM? Looks like a solid truck to start with.
I sold the car early this spring. It ended up running 6.40@111mph @3840#race weight with me in it. Loved that car. Still had all factory options in it. It ended up being hurt from a hair line crack i the number 2 cylinder wall. I still raced it knowing something was up for the last few months of the year last year. Would puke coolant into the overflow I had on the car. Also that same hole dropped a valve seat. That didn't do any damage though. So I tore it all down. Original plan was build a teskid motor and put headers on it instead of the stock manifolds. Well it went from that to had the motor built and bought a turbo kit for it lol. I got booted a few times for no cage and I was building a 1000rwhp set up. Couldn't bring myself to cage the car as it was to nice so I sold it to a friend that put it together. I did a lot of racing last year with it. A few cash days races and even got to line up against Larry Larson!
This cash days wa suppose to be cars that haven't been in the 5s in the 1/8th yet. Well I made it to the last 5 cars and all of them were 5.60-5.80cars lol. My friend that won runs 5.69@123 lol. I do miss the car but got another one to take its place.

My plans for this truck aren't really much. Has the majority of bolt on things done and a good solid tow tune.
This what I have for a car now. Only runs [email protected] for now lol.

Nice to have you back Newb
Did you give Larson a run for his money?
He pedaled it twice and still went 5.08 lol! 1/8th mile is short but he made me feel like it was forever lol! I did tree him on the instant green lol. So I was winning the first two feet....then it was over lol!!
It's nice to be back. That platinum F-350 was nice don't get me wrong. Hated the emission crap. Killed mileage when it regened bad! That and I couldn't do anything to it which drove me nuts lol. I've always loved the look of the GMC's. Plus when I pop the hood I know what I'm looking at and can work on it myself.
I can only imagine racing Larson would be like bringing a Spork to a Bazooka fight:rofl: Still cool to line up against him:thumb: That guy has some badass hotrods.
Congrats on the LMM.
