Welcome to the club my friend!

Yankees or Mets? I just want to know if I should hate you or just have a mild dislike.

J/K! I am from New England after all!

To be honest, Neither, not a big sports fan at all, motorsports YES, NHRA and NASCAR to some degree.

NASCAR is all good in my book, dad used to race it at Irwindale Speedway (end of each season), the driver was Randy Jackson.

They quit after a car cut them off (end of the race, on purpose) to the pits and Randy's car was flipped and totaled and he broke his neck, this was all before the neck brace was required in racing.

Fair enough. I guess we can get along.

If you ever want any schematics, send me a PM with your e-mail address.

I've got a bunch of the 2000 EVTM already copied, easy to send.

Informative stuff.


30K miles, wow. That thing will last you forever. I put smaller tires on mine, came with 245/75/16 and I put 235/75/15s on it. With the 4.10 gears, it ran like a hotrod (relatively speaking) with the smaller tires. Mine was a 5 speed though.
