If you were Jarrett, another $1000 would get you 9s for like 5 years before you stopped being a slacker and upgraded ****.

Coulda woulda shoulda, but the pass I broke my driveshaft I was going to lock up the torque converter in 3rd. In the past I saw 2-3 tenths gain doing that. Since that time I did put a 1 ton driveshaft in, billet yolks, etc lol.

Good luck with the sale. I can't imagine this thing will last long.

Then flip them around, trim the line as necessary, and TIG them together. Then you just drop it in and charge your AC.
Ah Ha!!! Now the truth comes out....

Why are you such a Fart Smeller??? I could have cut and thrown a piece of that line in with the PCM...

I have 2 more wrecked trucks and a chassis to scrap. **** like that is just going to end up in the trash anyways...

I want a bigger discount!!!

I didn't even think to ask. I just don't want to touch it anymore. It can be someone else's project. I want to spend money on beer and meat for the grill and that's it

Lol I've tried, doesn't quite make it without bending the line. I'm sure it could be bent to fit on either side of the pipe, but making an extension is super easy and allows for an easy return to stock later.

Hmm, just missed a shot to buy my old truck back a few months ago. This would fit good in the rotation of daily and track duty.

Are all the emission systems still on the truck aside from cats?

How are the steering and suspension components? Tie rods, ball joints, shocks etc, would they need a full overhaul?

Aside from AC and tune, anything else that would need to be immediately addressed? Not that AC is critical but I pulled the AC out of a typhoon I had, never again.

Everything but the cats is still there. The steering/suspension isn't new, but it doesn't need work. The shocks feel solid as well. I wouldn't be scared to drive it anywhere. I've put about 2000 miles on it how it sits. Nothing needs to be addressed immediately. You can just get in it and drive.
