Wow.... 8 lights.

Think he would have given up after the 1st few.

Chances of me hitting 8 lights here with no cars or traffic in front are pretty much zero. I am happy if I can hit just one. Just two in a row would be cause for celebration. LOL.

Gotta move to Alaska.........

Normally never would have happened as traffic in this town is horrible anymore. but it was 2AM so traffic was very light to non existent. i know right? i figured he would have given up after the first 2-3 but no he kept trying. i kept leaving him in the dust. finally on the last light he thought he was going to get the jump on me since the road went from 2 lanes to 1...wrong again the ol' expy showed him who the boss was!

I think the 5.4 and 3.73's does pretty good. When we were kids, and my mom had my truck, it was always known as the fast truck. Even after my dad got his 04 haha. It was just always quicker for some reason. She drives like a bat out of hell too though, so that played a part in it I am sure...

Just replaced my front brake pads. The driverside had about 1/2 life still left. The passenger side was down to zero. Not sure if the caliper was hanging up or the pads on the bracketry. The rotor was fairly hot as well.

Replaced pads and made sure they moved freely inside the caliper. Went for short drive and both front wheels seemed equally warm. Will watch it closely to see if the caliper is hanging.

Dont feel bad I have 3.31s... But with the 6 speed and 310hp 365tq stock it still feels more then quick enough.

I am pushing around 680 lb ft of torque & 570 hp at the crank if you calculate for about 15% drivetrain loss. Assumed that's a safe number running through the transfer case and auto but it could be more or less.

It still feels quiet lively with the 3.55's but know it would be much more so with 4.10's.

Had a Pioneer AVH-X2500 and rear back-up camera installed, been looking into this purchase for some time and finally saved some cash and made the move. Looks like it was always there and the sound is amazing with all the adjustments in the unit's controls.

Dang you got a mean looking Expy! How long have you had your Pioneer installed, I see you have an iPhone5, how do you find the integration with the stereo? I considered purchasing the extra cabling required to play videos and mainly to get the gps apps to the display but after reading so many negative reviews about the firmware upgrade that messes up Pandora and that it just does not work well, I decided to just use the usb-lightning cord and I am happy with the way everything works. I do like having the electronic climate control, the only other vehicle I ever had with that was a Mercury Sable I had years ago.

The Bluetooth works great with the 5. If yours is updated to the newest firmware you can control music from it too. The voice and sound quality for calls is perfect. I have an iPod that stays in the truck permanently so I'm not real worried about that part from my phone.

Oh and thanks for the compliment! I noticed an odd droning noise coming from the front end when I am stopped this morning so I hope that's nothing to worry about lol. It's been a lot of work that's for sure.

Bought a K&N drop in filter. Still have yet to do a Gott's Mod. Also, towed a trailer to make numerous trips to the dump as well as the thrift store.
