Another spring, another "Thanks Don" thread

Well as usual my truck spent this winter down at Don's shop getting fixed/built/tuned/ect....... The new FLT 4l80e is in with the 2-step, Trans-Break and 3-Bar tune. Feels awesome!!!!! Got a little sideways on RT 24 coming home (my buddy was in the lane next to me and said he could read my rear plate perfectly when it got sideways

)

Today? That truck is easy enough to get sideways with alot less power, throw in cold and wet tar and you've got me white knuckling it doing 50 mph on 24.

No Joe it was yesterday afternoon. It want that hot out, but with the drag radials on it and I had just left some serious rubber on a side road, I was very surprised

Well it at least sounds like it means it. Your going to get the back end loose, clip some old lady and take out half of the apple pie stand. Best wishes.

Geee thanks Joe for the words of confidence. I think it should be all set. The sideways deal was a fluke. It was spinning them today very straight, for a very long period of time
