budd cochran mr-d150@citlinkspam.net wrote in my point was that the lightning the srt-10 the cyclone et al are just toys status symbols. worth nothing except to park on the grass at a show or spend all your time worrying if some punks going to steal it. maybe to you but so what the bottom line is that theyre fast-as- shit vehicles that have their place just like any other vehicle. dont like em dont buy em or ride in em. for you or anyone to get all huffy because theyre called trucks is bullshit. trucks are more than what they used to be. time to get with it there budd. my last truck was as found in my sig 79 d-150 318 auto long bed. i now drive a 95 lebaron gtc which all the ricer wannabes drool over. budd well aint you one lucky bastid. joe black 03 dakota 5.9 r/t cc calypso green 93 mustang 5.0 lx hatch with a few goodies owning a truck just to haul and tow with. imho that way of thinking went away with the mini-truck fad in the mid 80s. then the yuppie soccer moms jumped on the big vehicle bandwagon. a soccer mom who lives in the middle of a city and has nothing she needs to tow should not be driving a f350 4door or a 2500 series 4door just to move kids around. in arizona people buy trucks just because. i have lived buy the rule of if its a 2 wheel drive drop it and if its a 4 wheel drive lift it. i personally can not leave a vehicle stock. first off i agree with you about the actual use-ability of the srt-10. it never ceases to amaze me that while at one time owning a pickup was looked down upon sorry but we dont allow pick ups in this community. its now fashionable and if the truck is less a truck than it should be the lightning isnt fully a truck either imho and more suited it is to canyon carving the better. what ever happened to owning a truck just to haul and tow with budd i am thinking about buying the srt 10. my problem is i have spent 5 years working on building my 96 c1500 ext cab chevy truck. i am at the point where all i need to do is finish the motor. all it needs is a whipple super charger. but now i am thinking about the srt 10 since it has everything i want my chevy have. my question is should i sell the older truck and buy an srt. i am looking for opions about the srt. is it worth the money or should i finish the chevy. i have no preference when it comes to trucks as long as it is not a ford. i figure the super whipple would put me at about 480hp. im going to probably piss off the blind loyalty folks but heres my take on it. i looked long and hard at the srt 10. it is a looks like a truly impressive truck but it isnt really a truck. it is quick. now for the down side it will cost around 45k or they did when i was looking last april you cant tow with them you cant put more than 500lbs. in the bed. so say the dealer. warranty issues they say. they only come as a standard which can be a pia if you have to contend with traffic. the srt 10 is a few mph faster top end and a couple of tenths quicker in the quarter depending on what test you read than the lightning. you can tow with the lightning you can put a 1/2 ton in the bed. one other thing you can spend the 15k$ that you save on it on a nice hd you can probably guess that i bought a lightning. love the sound of the blower in the morning sounds like victory.bfg roy .

i have never tried putting bolt softener on the difficult lug nuts so was wondering if softener stuff is effective sounds like you should try that ducolax stool softner on them either that or putting that powered viagra on them is what is making them so hard politics the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich. .

buzz wrote ... check out the covers at www.peragon.com good product and easy to install. couple of problems though... their product is not completely watertight and it is not strong enough to actually stack anything on or stand upon... the design has potential though... maybe if they made it out of 1/8 aluminum diamondplate instead... .
