    New here :)

    First off nice to be here. I had a 2000 L that I recently traded in for a 2003 HD 2T. My L had some work, one a set of stage II PP heads. This due to the fact I blew a plug and just wanted to get a better head on it. Well 3 kids later and more room needed. I got a good deal on the 2003, but as with most dealers nothing is know except the truck has a clean carfax. I opened the hood and noticed and AF cold air and a Accufab TB. I am guessing someone put a little love into it.
    The big question as dumb as it may sound, did the 03 come witha black SS and chrome bolts holding the front cover on?? Very different from my lightning, and I know people can paint and what not. I am just trying to get a clue how far the previous owner took mods. I know the lower pulley is stock cause of the ford stamp on it but other then that I am not sure the stock upper pulley size.
    I really enjoyed my L and was surprised buy the HD. The more I drive it the less I miss the L, never thought I would say that .

    yeah they went with a 55 vrs 45 profile tire so i scrub anywhere i pull in if i dont go slow. Funny I have a galant that I slammed some years ago, dont ask some phase a friend talked me into, but man that thing can take a curve. Anyway people really dont research or pay attention to tire size. Poor guy walked in the tire store and said yeah give me 4 whatever is on sell all terrans.

    C'mon Stew, back me up on the 8lb................... Have to say that just from what I have read in this sight that the 6lb would be alittle safer than the 8. Only with a built block would an 8 be ok. Personally, I would go with the masses and do a 6 with a reliable tune. Oh, btw, Welcome! Open wallet and release the MOD BUG.................

    Ya think? Seen too many of my brothers SCATTERING parts do to too much of one thing and not enough of the other. Why do you think that I "nudged" you for the confirmation? After my Warranty is up, it will be my turn.

    Ok so six, I heard the word from LFP that 8 was cool. Maybe I missed something.
    Man all I know is that when I ride in it it makes me happy. I had buyers remorse , like the first night. Throwed my radio in and listens to a few tunes, talked to the truck(psycho) and away it went. Kids love it going to do the 5 set mod after me and the Mrs take a trip to GA in it. I want to stretch her feet and see how she handles the extended ride.
