    tranny flush????

    wow, sounds like they were getting work done at some shoddy shops....and as far as the drain and fill I was just talking about the pan, as thats all most shops will do for that too, but I do agree, if you get it all out of the TC and the pan, you've got a lot of it, but then there's the problem...

    tranny flush????

    Not true.....flushing involves changing out the dirty fluid for clean fluid. Come on Chris, you're better than this. Any auto trans runs at at least 20lbs of pressure while its in park running idle....a flush machine only puts an extra 3-5lbs of pressure while it pushes out the old fluid and...

    Bent my steering

    Nice, I just ordered their crossover steering system, and some of their forged rod ends and weld in bungs to use for my custom suspension I'm putting on my truck. They have some great stuff there.

    July 9th photoshoot ('90 150)

    I don't know about that, you just have to really like the climate. I lived in Fairbanks for 10 years and I'd LOOOVE to go back. The only thing I never cared for was the 20 hours of darkness in the wintertime.....super ghey

    Crappy plastic head light lenses

    I did a total strip and resto of mine last year, and have had no yellowing (or fogging) since. But that entailed separating the lens from housing, then wet sanding the whole lens smooth with 600 grit in the bathtub (to keep the plastic from burning), then stepping up to 800, then 1500, and...

    Fuel efficient tires????

    Fuel efficient tires????

    Thanks Sean, I've gotten burned a couple times on other sites from people telling me I was full of it and that the whole idea is a snake oil hype up type of thing, but if I can at least get through to some people who can understand some things, its still worth it.

    Fuel efficient tires????

    yes and thats the whole idea....its not that they're lying that I was talking about, its that general consumers see this and want to see the results right away, they don't realize that its going to take a while to start seeing a payback, so they throw it out the door as bogus
  15. nighthawk285

    Fuel efficient tires????

    Yes I agree, its the marketing department that is able to convince people that something that was made for a specific purpose to get a result can work in all cases.......but of course now we get into the marketing departments of people like K&N and so-and-so exhaust.....who say that putting on...
