IN SEARCH OF STOCK PARTS

TXlineman83 · Jun 14, 2014

I have too much to list as far as after market parts goes. If anyone is interested in swapping for factory parts let me know. I'll swap and we can work a deal on the difference. Mostly interested in u paying the shipping both ways. I'm gonna get rid of the truck and need to be able to trade it in

I was really hoping the HP would work. I don't want to see you give it up on it. I hope you change your mind and try PSE.
I may still have my EGR but I would need to make sure everything is still in good condition. Send me a PM if that is something you would need.

I ain't quitting. I was just pissed off beyond my means yesterday. Vented a little bit more then I should have. My apologies. Love my truck. Enjoyed it with basic deletes and can't wait to have it run with the JR high powers.

I Did What You Almost Did With My 03 Lightning, Got Pissed Over A Problem, Stripped It, Sold IT With Nothing More Than Longtubes, Valve Body, And Custom Tune. Ran Like A Beast. Whooped Pullied Lightnings In That Stockish Trim....Long Story Short, My Tuner Kept Scaling The Maf Wrong So Drivability Was Trash, Truck Died At Stops, And Being The First Daily Driven GT500 Blower Swapped Truck,That Before I Had The Custom Tune On Ran Like A Monster, I Got Pissed And Have It Away. DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID. I Miss My Lightning, And I Still Talk To The Guy That Bought It, He Still Loves It, And WILL NOT sell It Back To Me.

Hang In There Man, You Will Get It Right.

Nice. Never worked union myself. 11 years almost now on contractor side of things. Thinking I want a change of pace. We texans don't have many unions around here though. I only know of Local 66 in Houston

Im not getting into the union vs non union crap. All in all it is a good trade to be in.
We came down to Mississippi during hurricane Katrina to help out. Thats the closest ive been to Texas.

Oh. I don't do the union contractor fight thing either. I've got two great apprentices under me who attended NLC and want to hire on union. I support their choice. Some of the best schooling a man can get is right out of IBEW. Some of the smartest lineman I know were Union. We all have something to offer. At the end of the day it's about going home safely.
