Default Looking at your old threads

Anyone go back and look at your old threads from when you first started here? I joined almost 2 years ago....I remember posting about "considering" a 6.0 swap and I was trying to see if it was a realistic idea. I also had various posts about tranny temp gauge installations, etc etc.

I laugh because here I am 2 years later with a truck that has had (or will by this time next week) 3 different engines and probably 3-4 different trannies within the last 8 months and has only been running about 9 of the past 12 months. When I first registered I couldn't even install my own headers.

Hey, guys.......check this one out. This one was posted like the day before I got my 6.0L swap done. It's pretty funny how optimistic everyone was thinking my truck was going to run 13s......when out of the box it went 12.56.

Yeah I did! Hell, I can't complain too much though. It lasted an entire year before it gave up on me, and I think that happened because of the TCI converter
