Dam Jeff you broke your back. That is not an easy thing to get over from. How long has it been? Maybe you need to be carefull Boost launching!!

At least you are ok is what matters.

It was a while ago. June 15 2003 but still feeling the effects. Yeah it sucks. When it happened I thought the people that told me back problems are life changing and it will be with you forever where crazy but I guess they were right. It could have been worse though that's for sure.

I thought they looked like a Porshe rim. Good pick and your welcome.

Tylex, 996tt wheels fit on our trucks with no problems? Do you use any spacers and do the tires stick out? I didn't know that they are the correct bolt pattern and offset. I am in the market for wheels and tires, and if 996tt wheels are the correct fitmemt that gives more options other than corvette firebird and camaro.

Are you in PA, with that POS? Are you interested in selling? Does it not work at all, does it have any rust issues?

Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today

You know its kinda funny how everyone calls there trucks a piece of shit ,a pile etc etc and that these are money pits and you cant daily drive them etc etc,I and many people I know dont have half as many problems as most,I think it is just about not beating the crap out of them and maybe a little bit better service plans and a lot of these problems would go away.I mean maybe stop doing light to light boost launches,trying to run big boost on pump gas,no datamaster or wbo2 and the list goes on,

To Peter W..Normaly they dont fit on our trucks.I used a H&R adapter/Spacer.And no they dont stick out.They fit perfect and are very light weight too,cause they have hollow spokes!

i agree 100%. i have a built ty (running on low boost cause of false knock).. i can daily drive this truck..beat the living shit out of it and won't fail. run against everything i want at the lights. i know it's build but 12 psi on a pt61 turbo ain't much. but it's safe ,ran 12.8 the second run i ever made on a 1/4 mile. with spinning tires.
the syclone i had. it was stock (atleast stock turbo) bought it with alot of elec. problems and out of tune..did everything 0 knock at 20 psi and verry quick! than i blew the headgasket (felpro's in there:rant:).....
so. i think it's more bad luck chasing us...something we took over from PAS i think. but still ...these trucks rock and are sinister little bastards. wouldn't want to go without them..
i learned alot about these trucks...buy them broke and fix them...saves money and you know what is done!

friend the ECM, not sure what else, havent really touched it other than to try and fire it up on a spare ECM I got from Raist103.

Only if you wanna buy it in parts, cause its not worth anything whole :lol:

No, im in NJ. No im not interested in selling it. It works fine to some degree, Im sure I could drive it anywhere if I registered and insured it and I never shut it off cause it doesnt like to restart. As for rust, Im sure theres some somewhere but nothing major.

Id agree with you if any of that crap applied to me.

I daily drove mine for 2 years after I got it, put 25,000 on it the first year I had it alone. It was stolen in 2002 and even after "they" beat on it, i STILL drove it to Chicago for Nats that summer, then to Kansas City in 2003, and again in 2004 and 2005. Granted I took home the broken truck award 2 of those years, but I also got longest distance travelled those 2 years as well. Not to go unmentioned are the numerous trips to Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland and NY for SyTy meets, as well as 1 trip to Florida.

How many long distance trips have you done in your truck?

My truck has never left me stranded on any of my long distance trips. Sure I had to come home once in 2WD, but it still got me home.

My truck is a POS, just look at it... theres no denying it. Why is it a POS? Because I havent touched it in over 2 years. It has nothing to do with beating on it, boost launches, my datamaster or my tune/build, its simply due to neglect, plain and simple.

Do I like my truck? Yes, thats why I wont sell it, plus the fact that I know I wont get anything near what I know its worth, so Id rather just sit on it and Ill get back to it another day, month, year, whatever.
