    ok, so let us start modding - the goal being MP and longevity first and foremost....

    i still have not fixed the damn leak since the new cab lights and gaskets did not take care of it (the windshield needs to be resealed - AGAIN) but i might need the truck sooner than later and have to achieve better MPG -> that means the usual crap - to fix what the factory did wrong ;-)...

    trouble with fuel gauges and or transfer flow TRAX UFS system

    i will make this quick - the kodiak came with the 98 gallon fuel tank from transfer flow. before it was outfitted with that from MONROE it already had two tanks, on in the front of the bed, one in the rear (25 gal and 15 gal respectively). Today i filled up for the first time (with 3...

    Hard Drive In My Laptop...

    sometimes you have bad luck with hard drives. the life span of a HDD is decided by two factors. number of rotations and temps. if you leave it on all the time, it does not matter how old it is, or if you are always out in the freakin desert....

    long time no see - now back with a LB7

    it is not a 4 x 4 and no, not really hotshotting - long story. to make it look like the transformers truck I assume i would have to stick about $50k into it.... and i want to sell the house this year and build my own, so i do not think putting money in the truck that will not amortize itself...

    Getting ready to start my project !!!

    I contacted ARP yesterday regarding how you can determine whether or not it is safe to reuse the head studs.
