Tax check! What the heck is that. Owed money the last 2 years. Not to get back on to the money subject, but you should really owe a small amount every year. If you get a large return, although nice, all you're doing is giving the govt an interest free loan and not putting that money to work for yourself.

an 02 350 or 450 dually 4X4 for 9 grand is not a bad deal if it has not been beat to death.
I see you have posted in the other forum as well. It seems this one is more active. I read the purchase inspection sticky and am worried about Trans issues. The truck had 410000kms on it and a bit if rust but no holes. Looks like it could be fixed. I do not have a scanner. I think the snap on one is pretty good I will look for one second hand unless some one on the lower mainland wants to check it out with me.

We get money every year since having a child. Not sure how that works, but no complaints. It has funded a few truck projects.

I also prefer getting money back every year. Its usually a down payment! Lol!

My grandpa actually opted to get an additional $10 out of every paycheck just so he would get a bigger tax return. It's nice for people like me who just can't seem to save money...

Well, for the last several years, I have come up short each year. (Owing money and having to spend my bonus for taxes) And that really sucked! We changed our witholding last 2 years ago, and get a little back now. Much better.....

Sorry. Everything has just been ***** side up for me the last 6 months. BUT......next week is my last week in NC! When I come home next weekend, I'll HOME FOR GOOD!!!! Then it will be time to get in the shop and start doing some stuff to my truck! It's got some issues that need addressed before I pull the 5er back from NC. I'm just gonna leave it down there for a little while until I get some stuff straightened out on the truck.

I think I'm gonna go with the South Bend dual disk street clutch. Supposed to be good for 650 hp. More than I will ever see.

Yeah, ceramic buttons...... I believe rhis clutch is 13" diameter. A little bigger than Valair. Heres some info on it.
The South Bend Street Dual Discl is a very street-able clutch kit for a truck that regularly tows over 15,000lbs and has some performance upgrades, or a truck with heavier horsepower or torque demands that require the additional heavy duty strength.

This Heavy Duty Dual Disc Clutch features 6 ceramic buttons per disc side and South Bend Clutch's one of a kind, Dampened Center Plate designed to eliminate rattle - providing quieter, dampened sound. The 3250lb. pressure plate offers maximum holding power with easy, light pedal pressure.

This is not a Competition Sled Pulling Clutch: Non-SFI Certified Street Dual Disc Clutch

Rated for 650 horsepower and 1300 foot pounds of torque
