    Yes..but not like the OEM ones. King/icon/fox/ads/saw whatever have machined aluminum ones. Nothing goes in between them and the coil bucket when you mount them

    thought he was referring to the flex plate that interfaces with the automatic transmission.

    are u asking if theres a heeavy duty flex plate available? no why would there be? an automatic transmission is essentially a cushion on the driveshaft due to the torque converter, its not a constant connection like a manual. oem quality is plenty

    no clue... guess ur gonna find out? cracks are very rare, coud be due to a previous repair not done correctly... ie, incorrectly torques flex plate bolts or torque convert bolts...

    Have you tried Camelback? Decent discount. I bought my flywheel through them. Very impressed with the TGP quality. MSRP was around $480 and Camelback was asking $360. Don't know what the flexplate would cost but I'd expect it'd be cheaper.

    Has anyone had the luxury of replacing their knock sensor harness? I'm guessing mine is junk since I get a knock sensor malfunction code, so I bought a new one. It sounds like the sensors rarely fail, but the harnesses do. The whole intake needs torn down to the block to get to the harness. At least now I will have a reason to replace my injector seals while I'm in there.

    Thinking about getting one of those tube bumpers like Ice Horse has, but I'm not sure how it would look. And the photoshop thread is dead

    What do yall think? My stock bumper look good or go aftermarket?
