Should be.

Pretty dang comfortable with the seats in the lower position.

Went from this to that.

My first try at painting and decided to go base flake and clear. I just sanded the flake and added 3 more coats of clear today no pics yet I will post after I cut and buff

Same brake set but a Ram 2500 Power Wagon.

Yeah I'm putting them on my ram 2500 too. I'm used to sportier cars so the factory brakes feel like old mechanical drum brakes, nonetheless moving anything over 500 lbs. I hope they at the very least feel more adequate than stock.

Nice work on the paint. I've only painted one car on my own, a 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 hatchback. It was a TON of work, especially since I decided to use a single stage black. Damn that car looked good though, too bad it was before owning a good camera. All I have are low-res photos that make it look like any other black LX on the road

Still looking for a shop to install my Yukon 4.88 gears. I bought everything needed and can’t seem to find anyone to install my sealed in the box parts.

Have you tried Lester’s Automotive on I-10 over by Wheeler’s Feed?

It's for sale. I didn't ask how much... Another one I saw for sale recently was $70k Five years ago they were like 1/3 of that, but of course you couldn't import them then. As soon as they hit the 25 year mark they skyrocketed.

There’s a for sale tag that’s briefly shown in the vid...I checked out the url, they want $77.5. It’s an EVO model but that’s too rich for my blood.

My first car was a 1966 Guilia Sprint GT.
It’s not a good daily driver for a 16 year old...but when it ran right, the sound of all 112 horses singing in unison was aural sex (see what I did there? )

Edit:
EVO not EVI

Finally found a shop, The Wicked Axle. I’m dropping the truck off Friday. With my new tune from Hemifever and the 4.88’s, I’m hoping for some improvement. When I first went to 37’s the 4.10 gears weren’t cutting it. I then swapped the ecm and was able to tune around my gears. I was happy with it till I went to Wisconsin. Strong headwinds were enough to knock me outta overdrive. So I broke down and bought the gear sets.

Boxes are gathering dust.

New McLeod clutch, flywheel,bearings install

 

[txinvestigator]

Took a 3700 mile road trip last month; Destinations were Austin, Corpus Christi, Houston, Atlanta, DC, Nashville and home. I drove mostly just over the speed limit, and for a couple of segments I locked in with a Roush Mustang and another time a vette and let's just say the driving was much more spirited. Averaged just over 37 MPG for the trip, and again, I don't baby the car.

I drove through Texas, LA, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia and Arkansas.

Arkansas, by far, has the worst roads.

Do you actually believe the Mileage the computer says you’re getting? Just curious.

Do you actually believe the Mileage the computer says you’re getting? Just curious.

I know the question wasn't directed to me, but, yes. It's been proven to be pretty dang close.
2015 ram 1500. 130,000 miles. Towing, hauling, idling, off road use, commuting. You name it, it's done it. Well, I haven't raced it.
Point being, I quit "double checking" the computer after about 40,000 miles. A few tenths matter in reloading and racing. Not in real world fuel mileage.

 

[pronstar]

Same here...I track my mileage/fuel purchase with an app. And the app jibes with my 2015 Silverado’s computer.

Conversely, I had a 2007 Ram CTD and the computer was about 20% optimistic compared to what my hand calcs showed.

I guess this is appropriate:
YMMV

I've been double checking the Promaster and it's pretty darn close.
