Grin's a going ear to ear!

Pretty scary how fast a nearly 8000# truck can get up on its haunches and scoot. Now I got to keep my foot out of it... Well maybe I'll squeeze her hard every once in a while,

I ordered it on May 21st and got it May 27th. Mind you that we had a 3 day holiday and I was cheap and did UPS ground. Jody actually sent it out the day I placed my order. Unbelievable turnaround for such a custom product.

Way to go Chris and congrats. For people that has never ridden in a truck that has a DP, I feel for you. Never have I seen anyone come on here after installing a DP and say they don't feel any difference. It is always WOW.

Keep the bullet between the ditches Chris. lol

With that BTS and a a DP, that thing really is a bullet I'm sure. At least it's almost bullet proof anyway.

You are right about the BTS. He has the trans I only have the VB. I am thinking hard about taking a little trip before my 01' takes a dump on me. Especially with what I will be doing soon.

Whatcha up to???

The trip to Lead Hill is very much worth your time and if you are happy with his VB, you'll scream over his complete tranny. I lucked out that my mother-in-law lives about an hour from him so I make a detour to Brian's shop when we visit her.
