I had to do it a 2nd time. I egged one of the hole. I didn't notice it till I did a WOT run and when I hit 3rd I thought the drive shaft was gonna fly out. Lol

Welcome back Joe. It's good to have you back. The charger looks awesome, I love the General Lee paint job. Tough looking truck too! Welcome back.

Welcome back Joe!!!!!! I too was wondering the other day what happened to everyone that was here when I was first getting started on here. You were one of those people. You, Cody, Rick, Bill (Madvan... RIP), TJ, Farm... Everyone just kinda phased out. TJ has popped in a few times here and there and Rick pops in every once in awhile also.

Hope everything has been going well for you, though it sounds like there has been a few bumps in the road. Glad to see you back.

Well I figure I should pop in and see if there are any new tips or tricks that somebody might have figured out.

As to the question about the trans mod and a chip- doesn't matter. For my testing I actually bypassed the epc and went for max line pressure and everything still worked fine. Just shifted harder. Nothing was adversely affected. Sold my truck at just over 300k and the trans had 295k on it. Still kicking strong last time I saw it.
