Re: Car & Driver - SyTy write up If I remember correctly, the article said the SRT-8 ran 0-60 in 4.6 or 4.7 seconds and the 1/4 in the low 13's.

That's good to hear. I wish I knew how my old Typhoon is doing. Matt and I are in the same truck club here in Jacksonville. He actually just bought a new Scion Xb. I gave him a little bit of a hard time about it, but he's got a kid now and needs something that gets good gas mileage, but still...

I like to use Mother's Trim Detailer for all the plastic or rubber pieces in the engine bay. Back when I had my Typhoon, it did wonders on the intake tube and all the hoses. I still use it on my Mustang, but all my intake tubes are metal and there aren't as many hoses showing. Overall though, it...

Did you buy that truck from a guy in Jacksonville, FL a few years ago?? I know a guy that had a Syclone with those exact same rims on it, so I'm just curious as to whether it was his or not.

Jimmy, I sent you an e-mail with pictures.

The white one is mine. I can get you a better picture if you'd like.

I took my truck to a local shop here in town and had them replace my driver-side motor mount. They only charged me $130 and that included the mount. Not to mention, it was ready for me to pick up the next day. I thought it was definately worth the money to have someone else do it.

I have a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE950's on my truck and I really like them. Not only do they grip really well, but they also have a high tread-life warantee (I can't remember exactly how high). When it came time for me to buy a set, I compared several different tires on tirerack.com and the...

I e-mailed the guy. Here's what I said: I am writing you in concern as to why you are only selling the engine to your truck. If it's a Typhoon you have, with only 4x,000 miles, it doesn't make sense to sell just the engine. You would drastically decrease the value of your vehicle and also...

I'd be interested in one for $20 if you end up being the high bidder.

I've had the same thing happen to me. More than likely you have a vacuum leak. You might even have several like me. lol Anyways, definatley check what code you're setting off. If it's a code 35, I'd spend some time checking every vacuum line. It could be as simple as one of the fittings not...

Vinegar didn't work for me. I was told that vinegar with newpaper works really well, but it didn't help my. Next time I'll have to try the rubbing compound. I'm a little sceptical about the acid. I don't think I want that stuff on my truck.

Re: Ty vs GN Re: Ty vs GN I hope you are kidding. My Ty is one of the hardest stopping vehicles I've been in. The only two cars I've been in that have stopped faster (not by much) were a Porsche Turbo and a Dinan BMW 3-series set up for auto-X events. BTW, my truck DOES have the original...

Too late now. Anyways, if this thing breaks again, I'll have another chance to upgrade. lol

Well, I've decided to got with another stock mount. If I were to go with your mounts, the shop wouldn't cover any of the cost. If I were going to keep the truck, I'd definately order some of you mounts, but since I'm not, it's makes more sense to get another stock mount at no cost to me. I'll...

Right now I'm trying to get ahold of the shop to see whether they would cover any of the costs if I were to do this. Right now, they are paying to have the driver-side mount replaced under warantee, but I don't think they'd pay for your mounts. That's not really what I'm worried about because I...

That's strange because the mount the truck had when I bought it lasted about 70 launches from me alone. I have no clue how many from the previous owner. The newer mounts I've been going through have broken with as little as two or three launches on them. It can't be newfound power becuase I...

Is there a difference between the sy/ty motor mounts and the regular jimmy/sonoma mounts? The reason I ask is because I broke a motor mount about half a year ago and had it replaced by a shop here in town. Well, I'm now going on my third mount and I'm thinking that they might be giving me...

I had some hard water spots on my windows from the previous owner of my truck. I tried everything I could think of and nothing would take them off. Well, I was on the LS1 board the other week and someone posted about the same problem. There were people suggesting the same stuff I've already...

Ummmm. I would hope so, considering all of our trucks have turbos on them. :roll: No flame intended, I just found the question to be kinda dumb. :)
