I am new here.

[QWK STRM]

I have owned my 92 Ty since FEB 14 bought it in Phoenix AZ had it shipped to my house in Crystal Lake IL. When it arrived it was missing the passenger rear fender flare molding. It was there when the truck left and gone 1800 mi later. Was fun to find I found it on this forum the guy in Cali that manufactures them. I have found many problems and fixed since I bought it way to many to list. I am currently converting to e85 have a Turbonetics T57/50 trim want to get 23 LBS for track and 20LBS for street use. Many other details to do this winter minor floor board rust from what was a leaky heater core/ paint grille and inner fenders, fix shitty wiring, detail engine, ext.http://s374.photobucket.com/user/air83mark/slideshow/

Re: I am new here.

Welcome! We have many SyTyers in the area, hell I used to live in Crystal Lake too. Closer to spring check the Midwest section of various local gatherings (car shows, meet and eats, etc.). I host a wrench session at my place at least once a year in Hoffman Estates near the Sears Center. BTW cool plate. What is your truck number? It's the last four of your VIN#. Howz 'bout color, milage?

Re: I am new here.

#1889 was white and grey I would attend a wrench session am learning new stuff every day about these and always wanted one. Sold my 2001 Extreme after 12 years to purchase this. Working on many mods this winter. I do all my own maintenance by myself so tips always help. Just did 3" downpipe came with 3 cat back so its 3 all the way now doing battery relocator, injectors, fuel pump, chip, trans cooler, boost AFR and dual air temp gauges. never stops. 100k miles now. The plates thanks have to give my girlfriend credit on that one was her idea.

Even if you're not going to hot rod your rig, that link is outstanding for making sure your stock set-up is as good as it can be.
