a patch plug is much cheaper than new tires, that's what i would do.

i've always heard through this site that jet chips don't do anything for magnum motors. superchips tuners are loved by all that have them and hypertech is the other good one but not as good as superchips.

oh, i forgot to mention that i think i found the source of my mystery coolant leak, the freeze plug above the starter looks kind of wet and i don't see any coolant in front of or above it, just below.

finally pounded the big azz dent out of the quarter panel (been there since feburary) still rough and needs some bondo, but looks a lot better

also sanded down the rust spots on my fender and cab corner along with the entire rocker on the left bedside in front of the wheel, now i just need to clean it and lay bedliner (then do the other panels)

jet chips only works for a short time then the ecm relearns and overcomes/compensates for the changes making it useless...

Yeah I went down to the local shop and they only charged me 5 bucks to patch it. I still need to get new tires though. I only have 20xxx miles on these (plenty of tread left) but they're horrible in snow, and the open differential doesn't help at all. I'm gonna buy a new set of cooper ATs and sell my current tires once I pay for this semesters tuition.

well last night i towed an 89 gmc about 70 miles back here. i took pics, last nigth and this morning. man the little 318 aint so little 5400lbs of gm scrap steel and a 350 couldnt be felt unless i hit a bump. a few times i turned aroudn to check if it was still there. man did superchips make a difference while towing, 140 mile round trip and i burned the same amount of gas towing the thing back as i did going up there empty. i had overdrive off until around 65mph, then i turned it on. and the i had some jackass pull out in front of me, i only wish i had train horns. lol.

ill have the pics up later tonight.
