robotics? that sounds pretty cool man. show some photos of that too! What school do you go to in Michigan? i went to Grosse Pointe North and our robotics was pretty cool but the people in that wanted to stay small scale.

Yea robotics is alot of fun but draws allll my time up, I go to Rochester high school we are team 201 The FEDS if you have heard of us....we are normally top 10 or 20 in the state....anyway I really can't get any good pics of my install job because it's all hidden but if you could tell me specific areas that you need help on or have questions on I will tell you exactly what I did and how...Remember if you want quick responses you can always txt me just remember to add your forum name or something so I know who I'm talking to.

So I was driving home yesterday from school and noticed an unusual amount of exhaust coming from the rear of my truck....so I get home as quick as I can and pop the hood only to see half of my engine covered in antifreeze....my garage floor was covered with it also....so first I checked the radiator for cracks and thankfully it had none because I just had it replaced last fall...next I checked the hoses and what do you know I blew a hose....it was the lower hose right where it comes of the engine...there was no damage as I looked it over but I noticed the clamp was about 6 inchs from where it should have been....so obviously the shop didn't put it back on when they replaced the radiator or intake manifold gasket I don't know which...now half my engine is covered in antifreeze and I have to buy some more to replace all of it that came out....and I'm still runnin on the hot side...I probably just have to add more fluid....it needs to start getting warm so I can do my own repairs and do them right!!

ha a Florida winter in Michigan would be a godsend.

Anyway, i put some more fluid into it and its running alot cooler now so all is good

So i want to get some inexpensive lift on my truck between now and when i eventually get my super lift....i was thinking about doing a 3" body lift with 2" inch shackles and 1.5" tbar crank....what do you all think?

Good your got your issue resolved. As far as a lift your going to want to do a 2 inch body lift and probably not a 3 inch. 2 inch shackles sounds good and I wouldnt crank the t bars more than 1.5". Mine started eating itself up at 1.25".
Hope that sorta helped.
