Ah ok, I remember now.

Good luck.

Also, on the bright side, I pulled 3". Yes, three inches

No, I was the "mystery puller"... At first he announced me as a guy driving an 05 Dodge.. The Badger pullers were really confused that day..
I got there after the diesel class even started because I was stuck in Iowa.

I hopped really bad off the line and towards the end.. 284 some feet.

and thus begins the struggle within my mind if i should risk it and hook with my truck being as its my daily driver. granted im not gonna hook every week, or try to be super competitive, but its still hard to fathom the consequences of breaking my truck and having to borrow the parents rides again

Sometimes i think those announcers start to feel like crap on a stick with the mic in their hands You shoulda went up there and showed him that instead of crap on a stick, he really aint nothin but a fart on a toothpick. That vid is painful to watch. Makes me cringe everytime i watch it. Oh well... You know what they say... "if it aint broke, you aint tryin hard enough... and it looks like youre trying awful hard Good luck and hope you get all your probs lined out.

BTW i sent you a PM

And the best one:


Do you think anything should be done with the Tcase? I mean is it worth welding or fixing considering my application.. It is a DLD.. I was thinking maybe buy a new cover for it and sell it?
