Edge stuff should be out in June/July. Problem is not being able to use a level higher than 2 and have the Alli hold it.

the 650 lbs now stock is the upper limit of the stock Allison

500+ horse and 800 ft./lbs + are just easy bolt-ons away...

but it takes a 4K tranny build to hold it!
I'm running the power pup on performance...I tried it on extreme mode once and it was crazy...no issues on performance but only put 500 miles on it w/the pup...hear any negatives please let me know,thanks.

yes it is!

It's a fast growing site right now in terms of membership, so there are alot of flashes-in-the-pan and "newbies" it seems...but the member base over there is a good bunch and quite knowledgable.
I've done business with a couple of vendors and members, all good experiences...yes...much like OSO.

If your out of Oswego...lets get together for some boating this season!

Sounds great!!!I'll be up to A-bay quite a bit this season...I'm still trying to find out about slips this year at bonnie,they say they might just be doing seasonals(that will suck)...you should come to harborfest this year if you never have.

I guess the plan will make itself clearer when I get the body-color handles/bezels in.
Nice looking truck, get rid of the black moldings. It will look better without them. I took them off our suburban and it made a world of difference.

Umm,correct me if I'm wrong ,but he previously mentioned he bought new , smooth flares & had them painted red...in the second set of pics it looks to me like red painted wheel well mouldings... maybe I'm reading wrong?
Rippem ---- You can't get the flares in Victory Red from GM so I bought a set of new take-offs (the smooth painted ones) and had another buddy spray them. R&R'd the black textured ones.

Got out of that cheap, $300 total with paint...

GM wants close to that retail for ONE smooth painted flare! (in the available colors...so that would be + paint to have red ones.
