Oh yeah notto go off topic , but hows the jeep comin along?
Its coming along good. Axles are done and bolted in for the final time. Sits on its own weight and rolls around. Steering is 95% done, front brakes are done, dash and switch/relay wiring is done. Bought a SBC 350 in Wisconson for it, as soon as I get to school I should have it to start fabing motor mounts.

just lift your truck sky high and use em for speed bumps...thats what im doing..
Thats what the Jeeps for Will be running 40"+ tires, fully locked on 1 ton axles. Right now it only has 29" tires for rollers and I still have to jump to get into it and I'm 6' 3". Its gonna be huge with another 5" or so from tires.

Hey Y'all! I have a 99 Ram Sport 4X4 with a 5 speed and 318. I was pulling a small backhoe down the road when I saw this Honda passing every one behind me... they got behind me, and when I slowed to make a left turn to another road, they thought they could pass me (in the inside, oncoming traffic lane). It made my day that, even with a 3,000 lb. load, they could'n't even keep up!

I've heard they're way slow. I know the old notch backs from the 80's and early 90's with the 5.0L only had 160 hp. My buddy ran his 03 1500 Z71 Sierra 5.3L against a 1998 5.0L Cobra and the cobra did not get ahead. Lame in my opinion that full size trucks will run with them...
Oh no touchy topic here. The Mustang that the original poster beatmust have been a 6 cylinder. I have a 93 Mustang 5.0 and it came from the factory with 205 hp, the '87-'92's had 225 hp. In 1998 Ford did not make a 5.0 Cobra. 1995 was the last year of the 5.0, went to 4.6L starting in '96. There is not a Dodge on the lot that has a chance of beating me including the SRT-10 Viper powered truck. Don't get me wrong I love Dodge trucks and I get to drive them all and the only one that even came close was a twin turbo,propane injected, 800 hp diesel.

you guys are crazy, the 87-93 5.0 stangs had, 225hp, not 160. they would and will outrun anytruck stock for stock by an assload short of a lightning or a srt10, this isa stupid thread, you guys think your doing something by almost outrunning a v6 stang, those had 150hp, big ****in deal guys!!! and no if a stang runs hot it will not warp, ive built alot of these engines, and no its not gonna happen, that tech guy is an asshat. Ive had a dodge ram with the 318 in it, and it sucked *****, anyone of my 5.0s (5) would murder one stock, you guys are comparing a sports car to a truck, and it makes no sense!!!

You douchbags have to be completely nuts if you think your 3 ton POS truck can beat a muscle car. Why don't you rednecks stick to using your truck what it was built for, hauling manure.

OK first off my truck can probably keep up with a 92 5.0 stock for stock, second he probably raced a 6'r so chill the hell out.

Let me correct you, the 1999-2004 Ford V6 Mustangs had 190 HP, thats not so little when our trucks weigh 1000 pounds more than those mustangs, not to mention that there are plenty of trucks out there right now stock that could beat a stock 5.0, granted they may all be diesels but it doesn't matter it is still a truck.
