its something with the tranny...and i just had it built two weeks ago....my alt needs to be changed really soon, because now when ever i roll up the windows or turn the ******* steering wheel my rpms drop....and i have no clue what the ses light could be....

and why do i need to worry about speeding?....i probably have the least amount of tickets out of most people on this site....and that has nothing to do with my job.....

god im in a bad mood....for such a great night

dammit jacob, man i would help you friday in a second but i can't guarantee anything with my damn wife having contractions and all that other woman $h!t, i hate to tell you i will be there and then something happen, but if i can do it friday i will let you know, you might already have someone else helping by then but maybe i can be an extra set of hands, FYI for all who are thinking of helping, it is not a bad project, me and a friend gutted the entire stock system heads to tips and put on my LT's, ORY, and cat back in about 6 hours, so help out if you can, that means you too Jon, even if your **** is broke, you still count too
