Noob from NW IN

Oh, ok!!!! LOLz......yes, I have flowmaster, Whites Pit Stop (speed shop on rt 30 in schererville) a flaming (used to be ) chrome dodge logo that's coming off soon, and 2 camm stickers......that's just the back window......side windows have2 more camm stickers, 2 Dakota-durango.com stickers, 2 Big End performance stickers, and 2 more flowmasters.... (all one on each side...)

ah alright. lol. yeah. i just recognized the placement of the flowmaster on the back window. and know i've seen a white dakota cruizing down calumet like that.

Lolz.....at that time of the nite, I am not cruising.....I am trying to make it out to hobbytown at 30 and 41 before they close.....lolz......probably traveling a bit faster than the posted limit.........hehehe......

haha, yeah, i hear ya. In the few times I did see you, I usually paced you just cause I want to get home after a 10 hour shift. lol

Lolz.....then I have definately seen you.........I was wondering what's with the dude in the ram that chased me, but didn't ever pass......LOLz........

lol. well i dont like to be the leader of the pack of people going over the limit since my truck stands out like a sore thumb. makes me a cop magnet. so I just pace people if I'm in a rush and there are others going faster. haha

Lolz.......I hear ya.........my truck will stand out some day.........I hope to lower it, supercharge it, and paint it plum crazy..........

that'd be pretty sick. Im actually lookin for your body style dakota. we just built a custom turbo kit for my buddy's ranger, and its quite freakin fast now, so i'm lookin to do that to one of them. but i'm lookin for a 4 banger 5speed. a lot more room in the engine bay to mess around with. lol. and the drop kit for my truck should be getting ordered here in the next few weeks.....hopefully. lol

Umm........I can just about stand in the fenders to change the plugs......and I have the 5.2......there's a bunch of room........I was gonna do a twin turbo, but Jon (jontoad) gave me his old powerdyne.......so I am doing that instead........

oh really? huh. well maybe i'll lookin into turboing a 5.2 then. just from pictures, it didnt look like that was all that much room. but havnt seen the set up in real life, so... but im back an forth on this. do i buy an older dakota and build it, or do i build my ram and get a daily. lol. so im just building the ram mildly for now, and we'll see if i run across a good deal on soemthing else.

Go best of both worlds.......get a dakota, build it as a fast daily, and build the crap outta the ram..........

ha. well i seem to have a curse when it comes to vehicles. I am notorious for haveing nothing but problems with them. whether they be built or still stock. lol. so it makes me nervous to have a built daily.

Lol........I will let you know how it works out.....my dak is the only car I own.......and I am building it over the summer, and shooting for a 13 second daily........

well the ranger we just turbo'd is my buddy's only car, and we had no idea how well it would work out, since everything was custom done. but it seemed to work out great so far. pretty sure he'd rape my truck and his ranger is a 2.3l. lol already took out an
srt-4 and a turbo cobalt with three people crammed into his single cab truck. lol. and this weekend, if he comes back up from school, we're gonna run it against my truck and his mom's g8 gt. see how it does.

but with it being me, stuff will go wrong if i build it. lol. just cause its my vehicle. im cursed

Hmm.....oughta be interesting to see how it does against your truck.....I ran a 2008 1500 hemi a while back, and it was a dead even race...I wonder how much faster your truck is than a stock 1500?

probably not much at all. I have the 3.55 gear, which is a pig off the line. need to get the 4.10 in there, then i'll be able to do a lilttle better. but im sure you'd be dead even with me as well.

Hmm......I have 3.55s as well....

Is your truck manual? I saw you today right about 2:30 today, turning off of calumet onto 45th st. just looked like it could have been a manual truck.

Nope.......wish it was though....hmm......2:30.....I was coming back from Harbor freight...bought a $20 vac/boost guage...and I usually drive it like a stick...LOLz.....1, 2, d........hehehe......rev limit is too low....4650.....it runs better shifting at 5200....... so what way were you going? I didn't see you!!!!

haha, oh alright. I just saw the rear of your truck squat a little, lift and squat again, like you were shifting. but I guess that explains it. lol. ...... and i wasnt driving. I work right next door to the speedway/white castle there on calumet

Ok, at the oil place? Hehe.....part of the squat is that my shocks are totally shot.......84000 miles on the factory shocks......feels like air ride......LOLz

yeah. i'm the manager. sucks, but hey. its a job. I''m training in web developement right now so i can just make my money online to pay the bills, and then go back to school and finish up the mechanical engineering degree.

and yeah, i hear ya on the shocks. I've replaced both front hub assemblys, and both lower ball joints, and my suspension still needs work. hence why im just going for the drop kit now. just change out everything. lol

Yeah, in this economy, any job is a good job.........and I will be dropping my truck soon..........I hope.......LOLz

yeah, i hear ya. and the rims look good on your truck. so it would definitely look sick droped

Thanks!!!! Yeah I am hoping to do it in the next few weeks.....probably 1-2 in front and 1 in back....
