Default Truth behind Black Boxes in trucks!

Here you go...

***The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recently divulged
they had covertly funded a project with US automakers for the past five
years, whereby the automakers were installing black boxes in four-wheel
drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the
circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash. They were
surprised to find in 42 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in
61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Ohhh, ****!"
***Only the states of Oklahoma, Tennessee, Mississippii, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Texas were different, where 89.3 percent
of the final words were, "Hold my beer and watch this!"

Thought you guys would enjoy.

SLOW! I finally got the 5.3 out this morning. Ugh...between work, house remodeling, a kid and his sports, ooh yeh and a wife's hunny do list....I have no idea when I 'll be done. LOL The freaking 4L80e was supposed ship a week and half ago now it's supposed to ship today. They say they've been waiting on the converter...yeh. I'll have the 6.0 pretty much set up for install in a day or two.

You know I was thinking over this weekend...I should post a thread on that underdrive pulley...not concerning the pulley with my radix's pulley, but concerning the double roller chain I am bring over from my 5.3. Will it fit? Hmmmm. I was reading somewhere that underdrive pulley's make it impossible to put double roller chains on unless you machine the pulley. Not really interested in machining it. Oh yeh, LS1howto.com...that's where I read it.

Yeah, if I were you I'd put the Pulley and cam in the For Sale section. I don't think I'd use either considering you already have the other cam. Just wondering how you were making out with it....but I really don't want to know! I know I'm gonna be sick, I already wish I would have put it in my own truck. Oh well, you never know what might happen. Good luck!
