Man what do you do for a living???? You are always putting something new on that truck! Do you have a money tree growin out back?
Actually, I'm just jealous and wish that I had all that done to mine!

PS- when i did all the headwork last month i did the unthinkable, got a small personal loan from my credit union for a low interest rate for 18 months...small payment each month and i was able to fix the truck right. some people will frown upon what i did, but its my money, and since i dont have a mortgage or rent, i am able to do this at a young age. when i get older i wont be playing or paying near as much for the truck stuff, ill have bigger responsibilities.

well after doing some research it looks like my VP is slowly heading south for the winter. now i have to decide whether i save every penny i can find for a HRVP44 or get it replaced under warranty. i only have a month left on the warranty. but then i also know that it was probably the comp that helped to send it south.
my dealer is very mod friendly so maybe they will replace this VP too like they did the last one.

Yeah, it's a tough one. Free is good, depending of what kind of behavious you are used to, sleeping sound at night is too.
I'd have to explore FREE first, if it seemed like they were going to buck, then do it the other way.

yea im not a cheater, but after spending nearly $6k this summer to do the tranny and headwork...im just flat out of funds. also there is no proof the comp caused the failure, but it also doesnt help either.
bottom line is, right now I either get the VP under warranty, or I undo the countless hours and thousands i've spent on the truck to demod and sell it. which would suck because if i de-mod then it was a waste that i spent $4k on the headwork and DD clutch this year because thats stuff i cant take out of the truck very easily.
