Well guys, as most of u know i had a completely full build dun in the last 6 mos. as a recap its a JLP SHORTBLOCK, 3.4L WHIPPLE,TF HEADS,L&M CAMS, WMS FUEL SYSTEM,CANNON 3" EXHAUST, and other goods..after finally getting her fired up this week and street tuned for sum break in miles, jj was reluctant to let me know that my junk *** MONSTER BOX TRANNY is starting to fail(gr8 another 4g i need for a built tranny). so after an orientation on the truck, i take delivery and head home..well as soon as i got on the interstate the truck began billowing enormous clouds of smoke..and i mean really freaking bad..i ve never been so embarased. these were not WOT pulls, they were all under simple acceleration. these piece of **** tf valve covers r dumping oil into my pcv system for sure..jus like nicks(alienfreaks) thread not so long ago..well add me to the list like the rest of them guys. here r sum crappy cell phone vids of my 2-stroke truck. now the spark plugs r starting to foul and truck jus isnt running rite at all. im too busy and aint got it in me to take it back to JJ s. when does this sport bcome fun??? im tired of waiting for my truck and making that drive. so im gunna order me up some stock covers and new plugs. kevin(smokn02) is gunna help me do the swap. thank god for my talented lightning friends like him and nick who r both currently blown up after going built also. nj chapter aint doing so well.

p.s. my new meziere IC pump is leaking coolant from the actual pump housing. add it to the list of misery -end rant-
