Default New from Jersey

What's goin on. Just bought an 02 black WS6 with a t56 about a week ago. Needed an oil pump and am currently putting one in now, hopefully will be running by tomorrow or tonight. I also own a Dakota RT, which i am now selling, that has heads/cam, rims, lowered, etc, so I am not new to forums. I've always loved t/a's and ws6's and finally jumped on one when the truck got to be too much. Plans are simple bolt ons, rims, and lowering it for now until I'm out of college. Then the real mods begin. Anyway, look forward to talking to you guys.

Just remember not everything you hear is always exactly how it happened. I've heard horror stories from people and yet have seen first hand what actually happened and how they twist it around. Like this one guy who after getting a cam and tune installed went and filled his tank with regular gas repeatedly. Then when his motor started knocking he blames the shop.

i do agree with your statement but when tune time installs a cam and is suppose to tune a car correctly and they dont and the owner of the car comes back and the owner of the business didnt have time for his own screw up, then thats not good business in my opinion. None of it was the owners fault. It was all in the tune which had to be corrected by another shop in nj. Im done hijacking the thread sorry jstrag
