Don't have to worry about washing the truck since it has been in the garage for 2 months now! I bought a 1998 2dr GTP, so it need washed now!

at least your beater is quick!

i tried to keep the truck in the garage for winter but it didn't work. we go a nice dry day so i took it out to a friends house. out of the blue we get freezing rain and the truck is all covered in salt and dirt. it has been dirty for about a week and half due to lack of time to wash it and how cold it has gotten. my beater is to damn slow to drive all the time (98 ranger 4 banger 215,000miles) when i just put a stall, tune and shift kit in the sierra.

Yes my GTP is fast! I think I am going to leave it alone, but you know how that goes. Maybe just a stage one for the GTP.

"Project T56" is coming along! I just got the pedals this weekend and it is 20* out side so I have not worked on it in a while. All I need to do is mount the pedals, bolt up the trany, cross member, drive shaft, and shifter. I will also need to figure out the wiring! When that is all done I will give Allen a call and get a new PCM!
