I've been shopping for several months, trying to figure out where I'm headed now that racing junky itch is finally gone. It was fun while it lasted, but nothing lasts forever.
After paying $4/gallon for water at a Love's Truck Stop and subsequently $3K for injectors and a lot fuel delivery components, I'm done with diesels. Tomorrow I trade for a 2013 GMC SLT 1500 CC 6.2L 4x4. Has the trailering package, so its equipped with coolers, HD rear diff and springs and 3.73 gearing. Maybe I'll buy an Airstream and join the good SAM club ... I was serious about a Hemi Laramie, but just couldn't justify the cost. I found a couple which had wheels, tires, lift and custom leather seats and the price was jacked $16K. Better be some nice damn wheels. And a 6.2L motor in a F150 was near $60K So its home ... 12.4L ... (IMG:http://lawmotorsports.net/mw/2012Sierra/VandSierra1.jpg) |

I filled up at a convenient store yesterday, using a fuel that didn't stink and costs $0.75 less. The truck starts without delay and the right pedal makes it go instantly.

But Mitch,,,, you miss out on this fun: http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?showtopic=11443 Went to dinner with the wife last night and on the return trip, we were at a stop light when an Explorer pulled up beside us. 2 guys in their early 20s had their heads bobbing to a thump-thump-thump bass beat loud enough to make MY windows rattle. I noticed they had all windows down and were about 3/4 the way up on the passenger side of my PSD. I inch forward about a foot, put my left foot on the brake and spooled the beast up. They inched forward, waving their hands in front of their face as if swatting flies. So, I inched forward as well, still spooled and belching some dark gray smoke right at their open driver's window. They ran out of room because of the car in front of them and had to sit there. Light turned green and we began moving forward, me dragging the brake to keep the exhaust sweet and dense and working hard to keep the Exploder targeted. They finally just pulled over and into a parking lot ... Wife and I laughed our asses off ...
