Jeeez, one little shot of sarcasm gets everyone up in arms.

Frenchy's point was correct. If he said it to me in that tone while I was staring at my dead truck, thinking about the thousands of dollars it would cost to fix, I'd probably kick him in the ***** and steal his wallet.

Don't worry French, you're still the man. Not in a general sense, just in the realm of an internet website devoted to a highly specific segment of the automotive world.

cram, I'm not sure I know how to take any of your posts...

And if you kicked me in the ***** and stole my wallet... meh, I wouldn't even care, all you'd be getting would be, a hot topic frequent shopper card, about 4 dollars, my drivers license, and my school ID...

This is the kind of wallet I have, and they don't store much... only my necessities...

Keep us posted, you know those custom intakes cause all kinds of engine failures. I am just waiting for them to blame it on something like that. LOL just kidding.

Hot Topic frequent shopper card...that's gold. I don't know whether to hope its true, or hope it's not.

dont knock the aftermarket intakes. before k/n added more stuff to thier intakes to make stronger, they were falling apart and getting sucked into engines and ruining them

I am agreeing 100% with you on this super! I just did some research off the site, in person on the underdrive pulleys to learn more about them. Well from what I have heard and been told, if they are the slightest out of balance you can break the crank, thus probably the reason the chain popped. I also found if it was logged youd be phucked, which on warranty they do more than likely just for a check up which sucks badly...

How is it going btw? Any news?
