Me Three.... Taco bell, wendy's, Jack in the Box....... Mike

My dad picked up an 04 3/4 powerstrokem w/ the new 6.0, fully loaded for 34,000... I've ridden in both the ford and the dodge super duty's.... I was more impressed by the ford. Both are kick ass trucks but i'm with sredish on this one... different strokes (no pun intended ) for different folks. Mike

Stock chain size is 104.... 104 will work w/ the 13/41 setup. Mike

When I sat on my first banshee I got the feeling that it was "the one"... I test drove it. It was fast.... real fast, trees turned into green blurs and my eyes were watering but I never let off bangin gears and grabbin throttle. Sideways through 3rd.... feeling I'll never forget. I bought a banshee 2 weeks later. legendss28: I power wheelie past my buddies trick 125 when he's topped out. Mike

Get some jets if the pipes didn't come with some.... a K&N w/ a noss machine adapter wouldn't hurt the cause either. Mike

Several things could've happend.... Blew up b/c of a lean condition, locked up b/c of a air-leak (related to lean condition), broke the crank, locked up the tranny etc... From not knowing how the bike was treated while you weren't around (why you would lend someone your bike is beyond me. I suggest you pull the head off and take a look. Mike

OK I finally got my shocks back in, my arms on and all that good stuff but I have no clue how to set them up. They are QSM's a-arms.. I have an pretty good idea on what castor, camber, and toe is but HOW DO I ADJUST IT ?? Any help would be appreciated...... Mike

Rmatv and a few other peeps told me to go w/ the sintered metal galfer pads. So that's what I bought (there not installed yet). I was told that the carbon pads heat up and fade faster than the sintered metal. Mike

He did EVERYTHING to it...new seals, bearings, new valving... the whole nine yards. Mike

I just got my rear shock back from derisi racing (gettin rebuilt) and I installed it. The back end looks lower than what it used to be but I forgot to measure what it was w/ the stock specs. I was wondering if someone w/ stock rear suspension would be willing to measure from the bottom of the pipe mounts( or a better spot if there is one) to the ground. Thanks, Mike

I sent my shocks up to elka to get them refreshed ( March 5, 04) and was quoted an 3-5 business day turnaround. My shocks are STILL in canada and are leaving out this coming monday. I tried to get eric to do them but they said some guy named ethan does them now. He forgot my shocks were there until I called him last week . I couldn't afford a new rear shock so I'm having derisi racing rebuild my stocker. I sent it to him a week after I sent my elkas to canada and he's already done w/ my shock (quoted 5-7 business day turnaround). I sured do love my elkas but I can't say I love the way they treated me.... especially after I told them I bought the shocks used. Mike

I want my bandwith back ............. Mike

The qsm upper a-arms don't use bushings... they use a "roller ball" looking deal from what I figured. B/c that sleave wouldn't fit inside the a-arm and the "balls" on each end of the a-arm that pivots. So you only need the lowers.... 6.04$ a pop. Mike

Ok I'll post this question that they(speed) ask jeff gordan in the "hot seat" verbatim(that means word for word ) and you can be the judge. Gay or Straight...... Jeff Hammond: "Pamela Anderson or Carmen Electra??"...... Rainbow Warrior: "um.... niether" Mike

Last track I had some peeps were actually talking about meeting up and scrapping over the ordeal . Mike

The only time I have trouble getting service is in my house (metal roof w/ lots of insulation in between). I walk outside and get 5 bars... and boon you know that I live in the boonies . On a side-note... the samsung flipphones (don't know the numbers) seem to be pretty damd durable themselves and they also have great signal. Mike

You can't.... even if you found a track were you could.... I wouldn't. Mike

I have a motorola t720 (cingular service).... My phone has been: dropped, kicked, drop-kicked, hit my a 'shee at 40mph (long story), hit concrete from 14ft. etc. etc. etc..... I'ts a little rough around the edges but it's still kickin. BTW: That's the only 6 months of abuse . Mike

Yes you will need some new/used aftermarket shocks valved for +2 a-arms. I picked up my elkas delivered for 312$ cod. So including the a-arms I have 862$ in my front end. Mike

I'll take a piped banshee w/ a good set of shocks (no a-arms or axle) over a stock suspensioned 'shee with a stroker through the rough shit any day of the week. Mike

Dude... please shrink the font in your sig...... Go ahead and take out some more life insurance and a pretty suit for your funeral. Mike

Mike

Those are the EXCACT match to the set I got.... SLICK . Mike

Here I was thinking I was the only one that had "leftovers" Mike

Sounds like a good setup except you forgot some parts (the nickle&dime stuff) that adds up to about 500$ more. I kinda roundabout figured how much I've put in my 'shee for mx and I puked. I have to kinda disagree with sredish... the stocker will do fine until you can get a -2 but after the shorter arm you'll wonder how/why in the hell you mx'd w/ the stocker. Mike
