Same mods I have always had for MANY miles now. Shorty headers, true duals w/MagnaFlows, BBK dual 65 mm TB, Superchip Tuner, homemade ram air. Still have the shift psi set at max, did that at about 30,000 miles, no trans problems yet. It has been a great truck. Changed some frt end parts tie rod ends etc.

I'm just fine. A little light on work lately, but otherwise just fine

Fredvon4 has been MIA for a while. Like 6 months. Last he posted, he was off somewhere, where he couldn't say.

Captchas reported in a month or so ago, but haven't heard much else from him.

Big Orn has been around a little bit, but not for the past month at least.

Monsta still comes in and torments people

Ken04 is gone, I think he sold his van and replaced it with something like a mini-van or SUV or something, haven't heard anything in months.

Lots of newbies, and lots of BSEG's to go around ...

I cut the front of the airbox off removing the snout and making a larger opening. I removed the rubber cladding in front of the airbox that runs down next to the radiator. Next to the grille opening for the radiator, right in front of the airbox intake, I drilled 3 2" holes. Since they are not directly connected to the airbox, I have no problems with water, but get a nice fresh charge of fresh air, especially at hwy speeds.I have a pic somewhere.
