But what ya gonna do with a 7500lb truck? Reliability test every other part between flywheel and the tires? Don't get me wrong i would love a nasty beast but for my use its just not needed. And i have enough other projects.when this is done it needs to be done.

I don't want to be the cause of extra strife between us for sure....I guess I haven't ridden in a truck like ours with 350-400 hp. Would it be an obvious change from what ours are now?? Would it be really that noticeable? If it would then I would be fine with it bro. I just want to help work on the trucks so I can learn how to be a better help and maybe be less of a nuisance to you about fixing my vehicles. I feel really bad about it.

Tremendous difference. Just a chip makes a huge difference.

400hp at the wheels is double that of a stock truck. Its a big difference.

I didn't either until I put out $5,200! Almost as much as I spent on the truck!

They are awesome! Was just given brand new wheels/ tires from Paul S for helping move a sofa. They are 15's but the 33-12.5's are all brand new! I need to get a set for my truck. I just hate asking you to help all the time

fordman67 12-23-2013 11:02 AM

If i have time i don't mind.here since the job change i haven't had any time or ambition to do much.

were gonna find out just how good i am on transmissions.

madMatador78 12-23-2013 11:13 AM

looking pretty good there Aaron. I got another set of rims this fall, they are 16.5's, I traded my programmer for them, they are in nice shape, but the tires are cooked. not even sure what I'm going to do with them. I thought about putting them on and seeing what they looked like, and depending on that, weather I would keep them or not.

Anyways. IDK if I missed it or not, but are those SD rims or aftermarket? Whatever they are, they will look good! Especially with some nice rubber on them.

fordman67 12-23-2013 05:53 PM

They are mb brand. discount made a good deal. I'm excited...can you even get 16.5 tires anymore ???lol had plenty over the years.
