pics are a definate possibility....i already have a question about something. i've heard that there isn't a real performance gain with going with true duals over a one muffler setup. i had trues on the old truck and it ran pretty good. any ideas?

congrats hiho, caltracs are a traction bar they bolt on no problem. they keep the rear axle from tourqing to put the power to the ground.

3 days for a total loss truck to a new one with new wheels and tires. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> I didn't have anyone die in my accident and it took 10 days. My accident happened on the same day (wed, june 5th) and the check didn't come in until the following week. Insurance companies just don't pay that fast. Do you own the insurance company?

Everyone is ragging you because you are 364LS1 and all the <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> stories you post. Sure this isn't another? Nobody saw it in the paper and someone died? Around here, anyone dies in a wreck and it gets a big article.

By the way,
Dept head at home depot (364ls1) is management for you.
Both of your interests on your profile, at one time, were the same. "formula one champ boat racing(north american champion) "
And 364ls1's AIM id is "MATTYT65V" and your name is Matt.

If it's a true story, then I'm sorry. But, I do have my doubts.
