The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Put a grand into an emergency fund.
Then use the rest for performance upgrades.
2010's come with Electric fans?
Check under the hood?
If they do then leave the stockers alone.
Does troyer have the udps?
If they do go that route but a programmer may be needed to bump up the idle.
Just some thoughts.

Peace!

Thats what the guy at troyer told me is that they came stock with Electric fans. I have a 09 thats why i was asking if its worth putting a stock one from a 2010 in mine. (sorry should of said the year of my truck). Yes troyer does have the underdrive pulleys its the same as the 04-08 since its the same motor. Also im waiting to here from Bill's trip to utah to decide. If the gryphons available im ordering next week or as soon as possible if not im ordering the XCAL 3 as soon as possible (with custom tunes)

Oh yeah i wasnt planing on spending all of it i was planning on putting at least a grand back but if i go performance then should be a little bit more.

Invest some, then spend the rest on performance parts!

If so, spend the cash on making her look pretty.

When Billy told me about the 7.3L truck he's driving back from Utah, one of the first questions I asked was: "What color is it?" The second: "How many miles does it have on it?" The third: "What year is it?" The fourth: "Would that be an early or late 2001?" (I wanted to know if it has PMRs or not.)

In case you're wondering, we're having it painted a lovely shade of red (my favorite!) as soon as we can scrape together the money. Of course, he's already talking about making it a racing truck, so we're coming at you from two different camps.

Not really. I guess im still use to my 07 Fx2 which took off like a mustang with it being lighter then this one. I drive like a normal person until some one makes me mad or going slow then i like to get my point across by blowing past them. I know the programmer as soon as i figure out which one im going to be able to get will help a lot but you can never have to much power.. I wanted to turn that 07 into a project truck after college but wont be able to now. but good luck with your all's new truck i was looking at some diesels before i seen the price of them when i got my 09.

Y'know what's just SO wrong?
Even though he's lost his hair, Billy still looks like himself even after 13 years together. I look at pictures of me and I just look OLD and TIRED. SO unfair.
But I have a husband and two sons who tell me every day how pretty I am (Oh, how they LIE!), so I can't complain.
THAT is funny!

I went with looks and sound because I knew my truck would never be able to beat a 15 second 1/4 mile. (makes it in 16 which really suprised me )

But if you get a functional ram air hood that will give you a true CAI. I would say that the hood fits into both performance and looks category if thats the case.
I would stick with the stock black grill but then again I am biased, I actually liked that one on mine. But your talking about the blue '09 right? I dont really remember if you had another because I do remember that the other one got wrecked.
