VetteVet News!!!!!!!!!! LOOK!!! Wiring Genius!!!!

We all know him. I've met him...that's right...he's real...and a wiring genius!!! His mother-in-law recently passed away, sorry VV, ad he's currently still helping out the fam in SC. VetteVet will be traveling thru SC on his way back home in the near, 2-4 weeks or so, and I am going to meet him for at least lunch/dinner. Prob somewhere near Greeville/Spartanburg.
I know he has helped out MOST of us numerous times and would like for as many guys as possible to meet up with us and buy him a meal!!!
Let me know and I'll keep ya posted!!!
Thanks VV

After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: VetteVet News!!!!!!!!!! LOOK!!! Wiring Genius!!!!

I'm nowhere near SC, or his route, but if I was I would buy him and his family any meal they wanted.
VetteVet is one of the great guys on this forum - always responds and quickly with excellent information and insight - never any sarcasm or condescension even if the question has been asked and answered many times before. A true asset to many, I'm sure.
Thanks for posting and thanks to VetteVet for all he does - including driving 1,500 miles for family.

Couldn't agree more. I read his posts about things I don't even have an issue with, just so I can understand auto electrical better. A wealth of knowledge.

Re: VetteVet News!!!!!!!!!! LOOK!!! Wiring Genius!!!!

Prayers to his family for there loss.

Absolute gentlemen

Honored to have his forum friendship.

Thankful for all he has done for me personally as well as all of the members on here. His electrical knowledge is priceless. There are those (like me) that think they know and then there is Vette.

Take care,
Tom

Re: VetteVet News!!!!!!!!!! LOOK!!! Wiring Genius!!!!

Thanks to all my good friends here in the forums. It's really nice to be appreciated.
It looks like I'll be here for awhile yet. We have some estate matters to resolve. I feel like I'm becoming a resident.
I'll keep watching the boards when I can and posting help.

I'll Keep Dennis posted on my plans cause I'd love to meet all you truck lovers.

Re: VetteVet News!!!!!!!!!! LOOK!!! Wiring Genius!!!!

Got to post up again. I need to download every electrical snafu that VetteVet has been a part of, so I'll never have to search(the net) again. Not enough free space on the drive!!!
Thanks again VetteVet!
