Official Tennessee Thread

Haha it was. I'm gonna keep it streetable for a while and drive it around.

 

Ya, I'm terrible with attention to detail. That's awesome though! I guess I'll have to thumb back through the pages to find some pics of the exterior, but that seems like you have a lot done 10 weeks into it.

Mine took about 4 months to build, but I didn't have my cabinets in until like the last thing. Seems like you might be on pace to beat me!

Anyways, congrats man. I'll try to follow the thread to see your progress...

 

driving a stick is a lost art

 

Not if I only flex on the concrete bump-stops in mall parking lots!!! haha jk Yes, although I am still going to be cautious with a hint of a bitch, in my mind ive atleast taken steps to prevent some damage haha. looking forward to LBL. And ya, im good with the angle, the welding shifting it slightly less then we first set but its ok, itll do the job its supposed to.

 

3.55s still seem so low though. Update us on how it drives when you get a chance to stay in it for a min.

It is. I watched a few of Jay Leno's Garage episodes and one was where he drives the new Hellcat. It has some state of the art 8 speed auto trans that has like 3 different shifting modes that's programmable through the head unit to shift up to like 1000 of a sec or somethin stupid like that. Anyway, Leno tells the guy that brought in the car that he was hoping for a stick shift and the dude starts ranting and raving about how amazing it is and he'll never wanna drive a stick again after experiencing this auto trans. They go for the test drive and it's literally like 1 mile down the road, with the dude still goin on and on about the badassness of the auto, and Leno says "Yeah but I still just like the feel of a stick and shifting. I feel bored just sitting here. I'd take a stick any day over an auto." Haha good stuff

 

Yeah the builders told us 3 months and they are still on pace for that, even with the cold weather and stuff. I'm pretty surprised myself as I know how long construction takes but they have been kickin ass. I'll be posting more pics of the house as it gets done so just pay attention from now on. Haha

 

I even drive my truck like its a stick

 

So you mean to tell me that my top fabricator didn't mean your complete satisfaction? Just can't find good help these days . Looks like GSM may have an executive job opportunity opening up in the near future ......

But yeah, just wait till you get one good scratch on those fenders. Once you get the taste and feeling of fucking up your beautiful truck and knowing that it will never be perfect again, you will start actually using those sliders. Haha

 

Damn it haha I knew I wouldn't last long wait till you hit a tree head on then you really won't care haha

 

hahaha yep, especially with that flimsy bumper hes got

 

My battery voltage at idle ......



My truck is killing itself

 

What are you expecting?

 

Just went and check mine at idle and it is 13 to 14 I don't have the .0 on my clamp meter but it was going back and forth on the two. I do have the 130 amp alt but that shouldn't make a difference on voltage.

 

Mine was 13.4

 

Time for an alternator dude.

 

Normal idle voltage should be 14. 13.5 is time for an alternator, like mine said. Haha

 

And I'm not sure why but I'm going for State in this game .....

 

I don't know who's bumper you're referring to as flimsy.....

And no, the executive did a damn fine job haha

 

Arent they 12v batteries though??

 

Technically 12.6. Normal charging voltage should be about 14.2 volts depending on load. Typically any voltage below 13.8 just sustains the battery, not charge.
