What locker shall I go for?
didn't lose context Grit Dog. everyone thinks a Detroit is knarly as heck on the street, in a big heavy truck there not bad at all, i never notice mine unless i do a hard 90 with excessive throttle.. punching the throttle and canyon carving is exaggerating what you would have to do to get a...- Rumbledawg

Aftermarket EFI and dual internal pump tanks
haft to disagree. i run a pro-flo system for 20 yrs with an external pump in front of the selector valve wit ZERO probs. although approx 2 yrs ago i did kill my pump by getting too far in the bush and running my tanks almost dry. not the pumps fault, my stupidity going further than my tanks...- Rumbledawg
