I am new to these forums and new to owning a Lightning. I have an 03 that is suppose to be in my garage by the week of christmas.
Production date on it is the week of 12/09/02. I don't know how my dealer plans on getting it from there to me in a few weeks, but I'm not *****ing(Hum, that word must not be allowed. How about complaining?) about it...LOL.

I ordered it in the fastest color...Black:d


Actually Doug,
I sent you an email on a different topic. Give me a call on Tuesday after the holidays if you can.

Oh heck, I just read your offer for tracking...LOl. The other issue was business, that issue is pleasure...I can handle that now.

Thanks for the welcome all. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone.

:rolleyes: You'd be much faster (and quicker :D) if you'd lose about 40lbs of stickers. lol

I had a sticker made for you though. It says "Red ownz me".

Your 03 will have better carpet and a higher payload capacity. I wonder how much quicker that will make it? :)

What are your first planned mods, besides the 2" drop shackles? :p

Welcome Rocks. :cool:

You might want to join us in Hallsville on December 7th for a little fun. I'm sure you can hitch a ride if you want. :nana2

I'm thinking 4# pulley, airbox, electric fans.

I am also real tempted to get all my spark plug holes, helicoiled?, I believe that is the right word, to avoid spitting one up later.

Clunk washers and the 2/4 drop is tempting also.

Torque converter is also right up there.

I am wanting to have at least all the above done before the end of next summer. Then it's on to pumping her up with some tuning and 6# pulley. At some point I want this truck to see 10.5 1/4 mile runs without blowing a rod out of the oil pan...LOL.

For some reason, it seems like I'm responsible for that mess over there. :) Glad to be of service...:rolleyes:

So...it's your fault!!!!!:tongue:
I don't want to bring that mess here but it to darned bad the fighting had to keep all from learning what could be done to minimize the risks of this happening.

By the way...I am from the You gotta pay to play club...LOL.
I told the dealer I am buying from that I may have the quickest voided warranty they have ever experienced...he just laughed.

Though silvers are the fastest average for color in TALON:banana: The NA FLASH project should help the blacks out with some mid 11 second passes at Hallsville:bows

LOL....I just saw this post. It was my first post on Talon. Even then I had the ability to get a thread stirred up.

I still haven't reached my goal of 10.5...but I plan to hit it y the end of this year.

Note to self.....immediately contact Terry Cole for a "secret weapon". Next on the list...Call out that slacker T. Hogge:throw: .
