I ran into the back of an SUV didn't move at all, lol. Granted at low speed.

Getting extremely frustrated with my headlights. If anyone has experience with wiring on the headlights, and/or with halo assemblies on these trucks please give me a few minutes of your time to read over the problem I'm having and give me any suggestions. Thanks

My truck passed it's e-test with flying colors!! I dont think there computer even realized it was reading a 5.7 hemi and not a 5.9 magnum lol. I was very happy to hear that it passed.

That was always one of my biggest fears about the hemi swap. Guess thats one less thing to worry about now! :D

Edit: Also got my old 16's back on the front for so its driveable with rubbing my front fenders. My grandpa is going to load it onto his trailer tomorrow to drop it off so it can get its new tailpipes on thursday.

So i mentioned yesterday that i found the fuel line from the pump to the braided line that runs to the rail was rotted badly. To the point that i have no idea how it didn't burst. I couldnt find it anywhere so i called the dealer. They were able to give me a part number so i searched ebay. $61 for a brand new steel OEM mopar line to my door! That made my day.

Glad to hear! Good news for anyone else in Ontario wanting to do a swap like :D

Hey cant go wrong there!

More birds comin your way! :party36:

edit: As per daily, I drove mine to work and back. Waiting for it to stop raining so much so I can go inspect my front end and see what needs replacing for real. I am definitely going to be replacing the driver side u-joint in the next little bit. Hopefully I can make my order bigger from rock auto so Im not shipping just one u-joint..

Well, the drive home was....eventful. lol

Did two 95mph passes on a two lane. One I kinda screwed up because I was passing two vehicles and the truck that was in front of the car had sped up by the time I was coming up on him.....THEN a car showed up right on front of me. That was interesting, but i had it under control. :D First pass I did was 3 cars plus a trailer. Truck apparently doesn't mind running at 95+ mph. :uhoh2: no float or nothin.

Yah know, if you build a scoop to bring in air from the grille into the intake it'll work properly.


(hint hint, I'm wanting to do the same thing)
