  1. No I agree....I know you can get stats that do LON, BAC Net and other things now....So I can imagine how expensive they COULD get especially after markup.
  2. 208/230 3PH.....All over Dayton man.....Id say half the equipment I deal with daily is 208/230.....Its VERY COMMON. And as far as equipment stamped 460V....correct, its how its rated even though its technically on 480V line Voltage. However, the actual voltage reading could be anywhere from 465-495 and still be at an acceptable Voltage level to use. Since I take it you are implying I dont have a clue...Ill be happy to mail you a copy of my "Clue"
  3. I disagree...The interior if its still in mint Shape is Fine in these. Nothing overboard, ust clean and well layed out to me. I agree, the 4 Spd. Sucks....Should have been a 6. I also disagree with you....The transfer cases are nearly bulletproof...The front diff is the weak point IMO. Ive ran nearly 500HP all last year and now Over 600 through both my stock Transfer and Diff, and its still kicking it. The leveling issue is far and few between...Nothing changed iin any year for these.I do agree with some earlier models having random Side Airbag deployments, although my 06 has been fine and Ive done some shit in it. Exact same trucks....Only styling differences in and out. Driveline is identical. Yup....Trans is easily chagable and really changes it up. SOme have the wind noise and some dont, but there is a way to tighten the doors up to get rid of it, although unconventiional. Mine does not have the noise......SO its never been an Issue to me. And as far as AWD vs RWD, that depends on two factors if you ask me. 1. DO you want to daily it, and leave it nearly stock? 2. Are you going to do any heavy upgrades to it. If yes to 1, AWD. If yes to 2, RWD.....Cheaper to modify and get to hook.
  4. Whats the dimensions on a CObra Heat X?
  5. Man....I wish I wouldnt have missed this...I have ewanted a Greyhound for a while now.
  6. Bud...I work in the Field too...and Id like to know who you work for and who you sell too if youre getting this kind of prices for damn T-Stats. SOunds to me liike your referring to the Stats for the high end systems only. I mean a Vision Pro is $150 now and is an Awesome stat. If you step up to an Edge or the Newer Color Honeywell TOuch....Still at $400 or less. Id like to get your clientel....I could make bank by beating your prices by thousands it seems. However, I too agree....An Adjustable, programmable Stat will ABSOLUTLY save big money. The key is not to turn it back too much....There is a point where the % of saving will hit its peak point and truning it back farther will statrt to lower your savaings again. I like to see 4-5* of setback in the winter for the bbest savings.
  7. I know where a nice low milage LS2 is sitting.
  8. Its only more cost efficient if you have three Phase available....If not, and this is an Electric oven, its now not as easy to convert, nor would I do it on something like this. I assume youre looking at a 230 3PH Oven, as I am sure 480 isnt available unless you are in a commercial area. If you dont have 3PH where you are, finding a comparable single phase unit will be your better bet IMO. And Yes, I actually know what Im talking about, I deal/work with 3PH daily.
  9. Dude...You need to be a bit more specific if you want help. What are you wanting to do with What exactly. Yes motors can be swapped, but if there is other components, you need to consider voltage of these as well as a lot of 3PH equipment has both single and 3PH components installed. Just spit it out....Damn. You want help but your making us almost beat the damn info out of you.
  10. The Track is trying to tell charlie to leave....and never return.
  11. Efficiency and amp draw. Typically three phase if available is cheaper to operate, but at the cost of having everything at a higher voltage. If you don't have 3PH where you are currently, and you're looking at something new, odds are it's in your best Interest to get the single phase unit.
  12. Like has been said already...more specifically why domyou ask?
  13. I wkilled a Rabbit.....Who wants soup?
  14. ForceFed 10.83@125.66 1.54 60' 10/21/11--06 Trailblazer SS--Supercharged
  15. Car would be awesome if iit were stockish looking.
  16. Wow....An accord. Im sorry. How often do you get to carry around your own balls?
  17. The more and more I watch this the more and more I realize its a Completely Bullshit light.
  18. Egh...it might be, but we might want to put some torque management back in for the 2-3. I'll try anything at this point, but if it's mechanical, it is what it is.
  19. Evil did help me Thursday night with some Clearance Grinding duties to fit the New Forged Wheels and Drag Radials....and likely told the tech guys to let me Run again since I was trying to break a record.
  20. When you say you guys are doing the Tech....Will us guys fast enough to require a Roll cage who dont have one be allowed to run , or would we get booted?
  21. Went to Edgewater Sports Park in Cincinnati friday evening for some good 'ol Test and Tune....But I went with a New Weapon Thanks to Jeremy (JCattSS on my TBSS forum). He Loaned me his brand New Set of True Forged Drag wheels and Radials.....And The Results were astonishing. Not only did I take over the new top spot on our AWD List....But I have surpassed quite a few guys on the RWD list as well. As you will see, I have now accomplished what many of the AWD guys have been trying to do for some time now and I have a lot of people to thank along the way. Special thanks to Matt (LT1Z on TBSS forum) for walking me through a few tune changes on the phone at the track last night as well. Long and Short....This Truck moves the EFF out now. She is a nasty little bitch. I am still having a 2-3 shift problem, but even with the messy shifting the truck went 10's. I am Ecstatic to say the least. The Previous Record for an AWD was a 11.26, and last week at KK I went 11.27 ....Not once, but twice....SO I was bound and determined to break that record, and I did so by a lot. I am happy with the results and think this is the end of the line for me on this vehicle. Not saying Im going to sell, but at this stage to go faster will cost far more than its worth to me. Video of the Run is posted under all of the pictures. Here is a Pic of the truck at the track last night with the Radial on, Pic back at home clearly showing my number, and all four of my slips last night along with my Tech Card. The First two runs I was just testing out launching on the radials and getting a feel for how 2-3 was going to shift....and it didnt. Thats where Matt came in a we worked on a few things. I knew once I made a pass under 11.49 they were gonna boot me, and I was trying to work out the 2-3 shift issue, but on run three it was late, so we hit it...And It went 10's and I couldnt believe it. The guy at the Tech booth was all grins when I got there....He had gotten word from my buddies I was trying to go for the record, and after that pass he told me I would have to slow it down....But Told me he'd give me one more Full pass to back it up. Kick ass Guys for doing that....They could have easily sent me packing to Pits. When I made the next pass after a breif 20 minute cool down, I hit the booth only to find out I went even faster at 10.83@125. Not only did I take over the top AWD spot...I did so by nearly a half second over the next guy behind me and I backed it up to boot. SO you guys look at the slips...They speak for themselves. Truck was drove 70 miles there and Home Carrying everything to make the Wheel Swap. Here is the short mod list for those that will want to know. Forged 364 (Precision Motorsports Built) LEP Stage 1 Blower Cam (Thanks Garth @ Leading Edge Performance in Las Vegas) Stock 243 Heads, mildly hand ported in bowl area only, Patriot Gold Springs.

  22. This thing is Awesome.....I can think of some cool shots that could be done with this. Hate to see a price though.
  23. Like it says....Nearly a new Takeout Tranny. Buddy bought the whole driveline for a motor swap, tranny has been sitting ever since. Whole setup had 211 miles when pulled. Looks Spotless and new, has Harness on it, and a Tranny ECM I believe. I looked on Ebay and have seen these from $850 and up. Includes Torque Convertor. I believe this will wotrk in at least 08-09's Wranglers and liberty's with the 3.8.....But may work all the way up to current year. Ill get the Label picture as well. Located in Dayton 45410 for pickup but Will ship at buyers expense. $750 Thanks Matt K. http://www.mazdas247.com/members/ForceFed/FS/09%20Jeep%203.8%20Transmission%202.1.jpg http://www.mazdas247.com/members/ForceFed/FS/09%20Jeep%203.8%20Transmission%204.1.jpg
