Oh, yeah gauges for sure. I'll have to sell my old Edge, and do that. Not sure if I'll go Edge again, or something else. But I have everything I need for EGT's with the Edge already...

I could use the Edge for my tuner too...

The tranny is said to have been done at 200. It feels like it, nice firm shifts, smooth too.

Oh BTW that guy on CL that had the posi take out units for sale told me that for $300 shipped to my door that would include the new bearings and races plus the unit. Seems like a good deal to me.

Well I can sell it with it if I don't go to something different. I'll have to figure that part out.

I wonder if Edge could just change the software for me???

EDIT: That does sound like a good deal Troy!!!

Saw this on Yahoo:

This time we’re not talking about your language — we’re talking about your car. In Minnetonka, Minnesota, it is considered a public nuisance, and therefore illegal for “a truck or other vehicle whose wheels or tires deposit mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or other material on any street or highway.”

All violations of the Minnetonka code are subject to fines up to $2,000 but a spokesperson for the city said the city “attempts several other measures to mitigate the situation before pursuing misdemeanor charges.”

That does sound like a good deal. Wonder what he gets for new (or slightly used) R&P's?? Too bad the money tree will never produce in this climate.............

They are brand new take out units Mike. He claims 0 miles on them as they were never installed just surplus ones he bought.

Goodnight Troy! Have a good one...

I grew up in Minnetonka, and had mud on my tires a lot, That was back when I had a mudder. Lucky I never got busted...
