Ya the 18 wheelers are REALLY bad here i live by all the industrial crap and they always run the road. I almost hit one today trying to pass it, it got over without no blinky and i laid on the horn (thinking he would here it) of coruse he didnt and just came on over. So i dropped to 2nd and flew by him giving him the bird. I also got a ticket not to long ago on the highway for passing a trucker going 45 in a 65 i was going about 71 passing him and the dumb *** cop pulled me over on a lane that ended so i had to pass him and get over. There was no way in hell i was getting behind him, throughing rocks on my new hood, and going 45.. i think not. I told the cop what i was doing and he didnt give a ****.

It was a biker cop using laser, otherwise my radar would have picked him up. Stupid cops... people are being raped and killed, but yet they would rather pull people over for speeding trying to pass a trucker..

When i first started driving i was nervous at a cross intersection with 4 stop signs i never new when to go. So i sat there for like a min waiting for people to tell me to go lol... now im the guy telling other people to go.

It really depends on what year of truck if you go to the site of the programmers they tell you what they can and cannot do on each year of truck or car.

For instance on my Hypertech III with my 2000 kota R/T 5.9l i can only change the gas setting so the ecu tunes the engine for 93 octane or you can use 89. It allows me to change the govener.topend. It was stock at 115 on mine it allows youy to change it to 116 or 128. It also allows me to change the tire size to fix the guages but i got stock tires so i didnt change anything, and the other thing it let me do was change the rev limiter wear each gear redlines at. you can lower it to -500 or +500. Thats the only options mine lets me do.

I was hoping the gear ratios wear controled by the ecu but there not i have to tune them myself. Some Hypertechs allow you to change your gears to make them longer or shorter. For better top end and lower rpms...

but thats what mine does.


I know some programmer allows you to change the governer to an input of your like. You can type in 300 on the programmer and thats what your new top end is, there are alot of programmers ones that allow you to change ALOT of things are going to cost close to 700-1000 bucks. I got mine on sell on the internet for like 282+ free shipping, it was normaly like 320 or somthing.

Im actually thinking about saving up and getting a screen mount on my truck, i think hypertech makes it, its a small lcd monitor that is touch screen that does dyno tests, shows stats, and changed the ecu. Its like 700 i think. You can go to the website and check them out.

yal quit bitch about driving with your moms. you should try driving my grandmother somewhere that last time I drove her to the store she got scared she drove the car home OMG shes terrible. If there was a law in the town she lives in that says you can't go less then 15 under the speed limit on a bright and sunny day with perfect road conditions she would be suspended til she past away. She will take the long way around town just so she don't have to go 55mph or go around a tight turn. Hell I garrentee you a farm tractor or a scooter could pass her at times. I am 19 and have done quit a bit and have the driving record to prove a small percentage of it but I feel there should be an age where seniors hang up their keys or sell the car.
