Thanks. Got it for $400, and it looks like a $400 car.

It needs some love on the inside for sure... I think someone lived in it. A trip to you pull will fix that. Once I rip the seats and carpet out it will look a lot better. Frame is in good shape, body isn't bad. There is a little rust on the cab corner, but overall, in good shape for a off-road rig.

It will be a while before I do anything to it. It has 4" of snow on it now. I still have to get the big rig ready for wheelin season. That is priority.

Ever since I put the 5.3 in the rig, there was always some throttle issues, as in, when I mash it, it wouldn't go. More like I'll go when I feel like it. I told the guy that removed all the extra bs in the PCM that something wasn't right. I referred him to a link that told exactly how to remove the torque management and dropped it off to him. That didn't help much, so I figured he didn't do it. That left me with a decision to either take the rig to a tuner or buy a tuner and do it myself. I opted to buy HT Tuner Pro. I know I am nowhere close to knowing what a tuner knows, but it will allow me to see if the TM is still in it. I will learn how to tune in time.

I checked the tune and he removed most of the engine TM, but left all the transmission TM in. I will remove it all and see how it does next month at Rush.

In Harlan I killed a 60 u-joint and it took out my moly inner, so I'm in the market for some good joints and at least an inner to replace the one I broke.
I came across these, http://completeoffroad.com/i-133846-...s-w-26012.html
Seems like a good deal for a complete set. Has anyone ever dealt with complete off-road before? A warranty is only as good as the company issuing it.

I bought my chromo shafts for my 44 from them. When I broke one and called them for warranty the company had changed owners. The previous owner sold multiple brand shafts and did not mark on the invoice which brand he sold you. The new ownership could not find a record of my invoice ( which they explained was common with the previous owner). They had me e-mail them pics of the shaft and my invoice. After seeing the pics, they got me setup to send the broken shaft in for warranty. Took some time and a couple phone calls but they took care of me. I would recommend them.
