Looks like you could gain a brick'ed ECU

More than likely unless the truck is supercharged, there's little hp/torque gains to be found. Luckily, 2nd gens don't have the power/shifting issues like the 3rd gens.

 

Yeah I didnt expect you guys would gain much. The tune for 3rd gens is only like 25hp and 17ft/lbs but also helps fix the poor transmission tuning you guys dont experience.

 

Thank you man!

I was out at Lake Brownwood State Park with worst service than when I was in West Texas... so I just kept my phone in airplane mode instead of it constantly trying to roam.

Was more of a work trip for the TPWD Ambassador program with a little fun thrown in, but it was good to check off three new state parks this trip (Lake Whitney, Meridian, Lake Brownwood) which makes 12 new ones for the year. Plus we all got to stay in their cabins with A/C which was so nice!

 

Also... on my way back to Tyler Sunday I asked @Naveronski what he was up too since I was going to be going right by his house in Ft. Worth and he reminded me about the Tandem Potluck...

So I had time... soooo



@OverlAnderson

 

@Suprajim54 forgot to get a pic of the Lake Brownwood one... but they said the Lake Whitney patch was made using a picture taken by one of the Park Hosts so that one is pretty cool.

 

@Zac of all trades

Hey, do you happen to remember who the guy was that had the white 3rd gen with the RTT that was at Hidden Falls back in December, Chad said he was a DFW guy... he brought some cast iron camp ovens with him and cooked up some damn good food and I wanted to ask him a question about them but can't remember who it was....

 

Fuck me

 

That is not a good time.

What were you doing?

 

This is because Patt Lobb scratched them isn't it?

 

damn!

 

Well, there's your problem....

 

Driving to work. Down a normal dirt road. My wife had the truck over the weekend and said on the way home it was vibrating a little bit went away. I noticed it Monday and scheduled an appointment for today to look at the balance etc.

Took off this morning to meet with a client and bam, cracked the wheel. I’ve never even wheeled this truck. It’s a mall crawler. Not sure what put so much stress on the wheel to cause such fatigue.

 

Have u ever had that godly beard weighed? Maybe too much for the mortal made metal used in the wheels.

 

I’m chopping that bitch off then

 

Oh, that’s you!

You get it sorted?

 

I did, back home, searching for new wheels. I don't know what FN plans on doing about my set, but to be honest, I don't think I want to risk it. My wife was supposed to take the truck down to Galveston this past weekend and instead her friend drove. I'm sure as fuck glad she didn't. I was doing under 35 on a backroad today, imagine doing 70mph on a highway...

 

lolololol, fuckers jinxed me

 

I think that was @ThorsTRD of I remember right.

 

Who has wheels for sale near Far North Dallas?

 

You could probably craigslist/facebook an emergency set up
