    My buddy runs E85 in his LS2 Sonoma. It makes around 550 N/A HP. Super fun!

    It would bother the modern tuner crowd. I have no need for it, though.

    I do run E15 usually, especially when there's a significant price difference between that and 87.

    Assuming your truck has no factory wiring. I would come up to and across the radiator core support to the drivers side. Easy access to battery and there is a gasket in the firewall there to get into the cab for the switch. PM if you want more details-I can help but we would clog this site up.

    Yep I dont have factory wiring so thats why I'm asking. Thats pretty much what I did with the wiring for my alpharex headlights. that gasket/grommet going through the firewall was a pita to get a wire through, I ended up using a razor and cut a small hole to get it through.

    Well, there was this one time I put in a transfer case where it could have come in handy. Got it done without no problem, but woulda grabbed a crows foot if I had one…even if it was just to see if it helped in some spots. I recall a fair number of 12mm on that job. Boy, that at would have been a hoot to watch me discover no 12mm in the middle of that job lol.

    Also, I hear they’re good for serpentine belts, when the time comes.

    Mostly though, it’s because I wanted to fill out my (new) toolbox a bit more :p:D

    Wow, perfect! That has to be the funniest, most poetic visual expression of entitled defiance I’ve ever seen.

    When I dropped off my 35's and wheels this morning one of the guys asked what the funny symbol on the center caps was... I got to explain it. That was for those not paying attention: dropped off my 35's to be mounted. Kenda 35's. Fun!

    Edit: the TEQ for those that haven't seen my wheels...
