your sig says it Edge Juice w/Att, Killer B Turbo, 50hp Bosch Injectors, +33% Injection Pump, FASS 150, BD Intake and Exhaust Manifolds, BD flywheel, ARP Studs, Bored .020 over, Balanced, Any non stock replacement parts that have not been certified will need an eo sticker in Cali and a few other states now and that will carry over to all 50 eventually.I am sure your truck runs much nicer now but the cleaner part I am not to sure about.......
 
Well I'm running my first ever tank of b20 see how it does. I just think the fuel has honed out the nozzles and am pushing too much fuel.
 
Forced to save your own lives behind the wheel? Overwhelmingly seat belts saves the occupants.

for the most part..when my '03.5 was totaled (QCLB/ Dually/4x4) I was NOT wearing a seat belt. Got t-boned square in the pass. side doors by an F-350 4x4 diesel going 60 mph (he didn't see the/his stop sign and never touched the brakes). 9k lbs. of truck when from 0-60 sideways in the blink of an eye, slid 120 ft. sideways. ripped the cab off of the frame mounts (ALL of 'em). bent the frame on the pass. side 18". And I walked away with only a bruise on my leg where it hit the underside of the steering wheel. When the police arrived they didn't believe I was the driver. The medics and state police (accident reconstruction) both said IF I had my seat belt on that I would have had a broken back. As it was the truck just "slid" out from under me (like pulling a tablecloth out from under dishes). If I had my seatbelt on my lower torso would have gone with the truck while my upper would have stayed stationary breaking my back. Walked away and didn't need ANY medical assistance and have not had any problems because of this accident. (3.5 years ago and -0- issues, other than having to find another truck)
Granted seat belts are lifesavers but not always.
Then the question needs to be answered.....here in PA. we have to wear seatbelts in our 4 wheelers BUT not helmets when riding a motorcycle. DUH! anything wrong with this picture?

Not really. Statistics show that having seat belts generally save lives as you are kept instide a cage. They also didn't show any change in the probablity of being in a accicdent.

For Motorcyles the statics show that if you are involved in a accedent you are better off with a helmet; however, they also show that the probablity of being in a accedent is higher with a Helmet so the net result is helmel laws don't change the probablbilty of dieing in a motorcycle accident. When Florida implemented its manditory helmel law backin the 70's they actually saw in increase in single motorcycle deaths. Wasn't until a rider passed out at a stop light they realized it was heat and humidiy issue. States with no or modified helmel laws have a lower accedent rate overall than helmet law states.

Kind of off topic though.
 
There's always going to be some exception story that makes out seat belts to be BS. The reality is we live in a world of odds and averages.
Your far more likely to be seriously hurt if you aren't wearing a safety belt.

Getting killed because I didn't wear a seat belt violates my main goal in life for both my family and I; To not get killed because I did something stupid.
