Default Is this B.S.

I talked to a guy who said he had a 2002 ecsb 2wd with 3.42 open rear-end.

That ran a 14.7 with no mods what so ever. Well guys am I wrong for doing this or is it possible? I say NO WAY!! He also said if I "flip my balljoints" I can get another 100K miles out of them. Thats what he did.

UH ball joints cant be flipped!!! yet another

Why are there people like this?

What an idiot! The only way that truck will run a 14.7 stock is to tie it to someone elses truck and drag it down the track! Or maybe on a really, really steep downhill G-tech meter run.
