well the mud I was in was super nasty **** so as soon as the tires broke free of the suction is was basically the same as if I had the truck jacked up in the air, and yea you can reach 8 grand if there is no friction on the tires......but I don't recommend it

Rocker Arm Specialist rock!!!
I just ordered my new rocker arms from the good folks down at Rocker Arm Specialist. While ordering the shafts I was telling them I was in the service, Navy, stationed overseas. After I gave him my address and stuff he (Brent) said "OK, that's it." And I said "wait, don't you want my Visa number?" to which he told me "No, don't need it. I'll have this sent to you as soon as possible"
Rock on!!!!

The FE's in question: Were they car or truck? Size: 352, 360, 390, 428, etc.? Really curious about hearing this...
