first the good.... i drag raced my truck today.. first day i could drive around in it legally.. had a blast at the drag races burning the rubber power braking and everything..

bad news... while doing a burnout i broke my power steering belt.. then that led to problem after problem.. then it wouldnt stay running.. had to turn idle up because i wasnt gonna let that make me sit out of drags.. so i got it running decent.. did another pass.. then it died and wouldnt start.. so i crawled under and found gas lines are pinched off.. fixed that and then went again and it bogs at fifty mile an hour.. so i thought maybe somehow timing came off .. so i tweaked it just slightly...that made it run better.. from doing burnouts i think a wheel bearing or something is goin out because now all i hear is a small whistle or a high pitch sound when i drive it... but i dont know i had fun... it was great to peel out in front of cops and rev it up and such doin 75 felt sweet.. ill get pics up of me tomorrow
