  1. Looks great man! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Is it true on our trucks that if the TPS goes bad, you have to replace the throttlebody?

      The tps is in the throttle body. Ive never had to replace one, but I know these stock 78 mm tbs are a dime a dozen.

       

       

  3. Looks great! Just moved in a new home myself. Haven't washed the SSS in forever! Just never a spare moment! I love the black. It's the fastest color, you know! Lol
  4. Very nice. Congrats! Think I would lost the chrome rocker pieces.
  5. Thanks for the info. I had been warned to stay away from HP and compaq for sure from a local computer shop. Dell, Lenovo, and Asus are my 3 faves. My last Inventor desktop was an Asus and I just decommissioned it after 8+ years of service. Not bad for a 3d cad machine! They bought me a new 8K+ Dell desktop that is a BA though! It's a monster and the quietest computer I have ever heard run
  6. I have heard the new chips extend battery life. Dell is offering the new gen 4 chips now, but the laptop I am looking at does not offer it. I have read that the newer gen chips should lower prices of the 3rd gen hard drives, but I haven't seen the drop yet. Seems they alway have this huge sale or special discounts, but in the end they are usually around the same price range. Like buying jewelry, they are always "on sAle". Lol
  7. I definitely love apple products. I own everything except a Mac book, but if I got the Mac book I want, it would be like 2500 bucks. As fond of apple as I am, just can't spend that right now. I have an old gateway right now that I have had since college. It has had a couple viruses over the years, but has been a work horse. Biggest issue with it besides the slow speed and lack of storage space, one of the screen hinges broke, so the screen just hangs loose. I have an older HP laptop that was my ProE machine for a long time, but it is so outdated, it is not worth using either. That and it weighs about 10 lbs! Lol. I just mainly need a good stable pc where I can do my iTunes and store all of my pics and stuff. I actually am looking at machines better than I need, but I would rather get a better processor and larger hard drive so I don't have to worry about speed or running out of space. Better too much than not enough. Lol. The machine I have speced out is about a grand, and that's about all I am willing to spend right now. Of course I started out saying 500. Lol
  8. I would like a Mac, but my budget needs to stay around a grand. I love my iPhone and wife's I pad. Just can't drop 2k + for a MacBook Pro.
  9. Norcal SS sells them and he has quoted me good prices on them recently.
  10. Hey guys, I am about to pull the trigger on a new laptop. I think I am getting the Dell 17R special edition. Not a gamer, but want one with a good processor and plenty of memory. What do you guys have or suggest?
  11. Love it. I like my ARE cover okay, but I dont care for how it "humps up" over my bed rails. I definitely like the flush top. Very nice!
  12. Passed a new 2014 Vette on I-65 last Saturday in Nashville. Didn't think I'd like them, but pretty awesome on the street!

      Other than the rear, I think they look awesome!

  13. Hey guys, I want some input. I have a 3/4 DJM kit for my SSS that I still have not installed. I am planning to install it soon, but now we are looking at buying a boat this weekend. It is a 21 foot fiberglass deck boat. I would say in the 3k to 4k pound range. Anyone towed a boat or trailer with their truck lowered? Will have to get helper bags? What are your experiences or thoughts?
  14. Yeah, I definitely would have to wait and let them depreciate a while before I got one.
  15. http://wallstcheatsheet.com/stocks/could-chevy-be-exploring-a-ford-raptor-rival.html/?ref=YF I saw this article and it hints of maybe a rival to the Ford Raptor (which I'm sure would be a 4x4 offroad package), and the comment about "lifestyle models" (such as the Ford Harley edition) may give hope to a future SS truck or something comparable?
  16. Very nice. And they match!
  17. Thanks everyone. I went to a well known local tattoo artist (Chad Newsome, Jackson/Milan TN) to get it done. I had to wait over a month to get an appointment, but it was well worth the wait.
  18. Hey guys, I finally got the tattoo i was wanting. I have a koi pond and love koi fish, so I thought that would make a nice tattoo. A full 4 hour session later, this is how it turned out. What do you guys think?
  19. Yeah, I hate to see you sell, but good luck with it. Very nice VHO.
