    hmm... i have to thank everyone who constantly tells me "trucks are slow...especially lifted ones" it's good motivation.


    My grandpa got me into cars. My dad is a mechanical god, but it's a 'job' for him, and says I am just wasting money. He outgrew the 'modify cars' stage when he met my mom. Had a daily driver 9 second nova...sold it to buy an apartment. IDIOT lol. He still helps out whenever I get stuck though. Which is nice. Good way to learn. I can try it myself, and when it doesn't work right, he fixes it and points out what I did wrong lol.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    Well first of all I have to say thanks to Chad (06 4.8) He's helped me out quite a bit with my truck and by now he could tell you all just about everything about my truck.

    Also, Casey always replies to PM's and answers his phone when I have a question. Thanks Casey.

    And although none of them are on this site, thanks to all my friends in Cali and the Marine Corps that helped me on the weekends.

    My dad got me into cars, I always and still hear stories (mostly from his friends) of an old '70 C10 with a worked 350 and a Muncie 4speed with 5.13 gears. Or a '67 Camaro with believe it or not a built inline-6. And the one I actually lived through, an '80 Dodge Adventurer with a 360. I still remember the sound of those open headers and he sold it when I was 6. Well fast forward I got my '06, bunch of idiots on FSC, started hanging around here. First threads I remember reading was Ducky's about naming your truck. His became Queen Ann's Revenge this was back when it was a 4.3 too. Then started reading the kill stories, I remember Virgil's (may the SOB get struck by lightning) walking all over a Mustank on a 150 shot in his black truck. Stopped visiting the site for a while, googled 2006 Silverado V8 swap, and here we are.
