    got the inside wire ran, and hooked to the outside wire. and i just had to color cordinate and taped even though i didnt really need to i did the ground just to give some extra that the connector will not come loose.

    so, this became a hell of a thing. and the irony is i had set up a deal to buy a 10k from a friend and sent the money the very morning of the day the power went out. (on saturday) sunday it was hot and humid, so we decided we were going to take the cats and get set up in the camper for a day or...

    so we also had a little debacle after a storm... a branch stripped our wires right off the pole. and somehow they pulled in the drive and didnt see them, and it fell throught the cracks and we ended being out for a couple days, over 24hrs longer than the rest of the area...

    Will be doing the '19-'21 Big brake upgrade on my '00 Tahoe.

    i know i used to think the brakes on my 02 avalanche where pretty decent. till we got our 03 denali with hyrdo boost, and man for all other components being the same it makes a world of difference. then i got my 02 2500 burb also with hydro boost and man i tell you it is one of my favorite...

    Can a mild build 3800 Supercharged swap Fiero Pull a Wheelie? Lets find out!

    the 4t80e is becoming more common swap for strength, but isnt much aftermarket for them. i have had a 2.8 on one and it runs hard ( till lack of fuel chips pistons) if you dont have a gen V then that would be an easy why to gain a bit of boost on the same pully as they are more efficient.

    sounds like time to check for shorts. seems like a wire in the low/dim side of the bulb is grounded out somewhere and when you feed it power it is shorting it out.

    Need everyone's opinion on this 2005 Suburban 2500-Thanks

    i would say a bit much personally, even with the inflated prices of everything, although what it is would do well to pull with. i am selling my 02 2wd for half that. but i am also on the other side of the country.
