    Default New (returning old) member from AR

    Hey guys!

    I was a semi-active dues paying member here back in the early 2000's. Previous R/T's include a 1999 Flame Red RC and 2001 Silver CC. Life happened and I've been out of an R/T since around 2005. As anyone here knows, the flame never dies completely. I never lost my love for this truck and always said I'd get myself another one "some day".

    Happy to say that "some day" was 2 week ends ago. Picked up a single owner, 1999 FR CC with 85k original miles. He was an older fella who didn't do much to it minus adding a flowmaster muffler. The truck is in pretty great mechanical shape from what I can tell. Just the usual things you can expect from a 20 year old vehicle. Body is in good shape but it needs a new paint job.

    I've been lurking here the past couple of weeks while I was waiting on my account to get activated and there is a treasure trove of good info. I can't wait to dive into the motor and wake this old 5.9L up!

    Thanks guys and no kidding. Didn't take long before I stumbled upon people talking about SCT. Nice to see we have tuning options available finally.
