I also thought the key starting the motor turned it off??

ford attempts to appeaze gays

and your truck is what????

Sad day! This is the direction they have our life going. They will all follow. You watch.

The lifts are coming that way too. Mine (DR) was 4". But the front was 4" and the back was 2" and they called it "level lift". I had to put in a add-a-leaf to get 4" in the front and 3" in the rear to avoid that look.

The FEAR of it always breaking down.

bump bump bump trt meeting tomorrow

I am sending my assistant there to report back for me. :monkeedance2:

...............

even a phone that has no service hooked up to it will work for that situation as well... So in theroy if you didnt want to take your nice cell phone on dune rides with you.. take your old beater that has no cell service hooked up to it.. as long as it powers on you will be able to dial out to 911 on it. from anywhere.

I think its a law. Even a house phone is the same. No service, but 911 works too I think.

I bought a TV strap and Lowes and it isn't good. Pulled it right up. Where do you guys buy yours at?

hauler3.bmpfound a pic

That chain looks like it needs to be tighter! I have mine at three links.

Thought I would share this. If this works the emergency number could come in handy at the dunes. I tried the second one trying to unlock my car and it didn't work. If it works for anyone else let me know. Im going to try it again later. So here is the email I got.

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO.

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST: Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.

Try it out.

SECOND: Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from

your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a

cell phone!

THIRD: Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#

Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50%

increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.

FOURTH: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on

your phone: * # 0 6 # . A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This

number is unique to

your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally....

FIFTH: Free 411

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411

information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

This is the kind of information

people don't mind receiving, so pass it on

to your family and friends.

3500 watts - $284

I had it installed today. I am pleased. Nice ride. Little stiff in the rear, but I went with a 4" block and a add-a-leaf in the rear and their 4" leaf pack up front with their SS shocks.

No wobble noticed yet. I only got up to 55mph and a small chatter from the start. Not sure about that yet.

That's it. I would recommend it 100% after having it for a few hours. I will post back as time goes on.

Too bad he didn't say it. Nice copy and paste, Chase.

Where do you get all your diesel experience from, Chase? You don't even own one. I don't see how you can come to such an opinion on a motor when all you have is old pos Dodge GAS trucks. I also find it amusing that you can only post up (or shall I say copy and paste) another person's post from some other website and then just agree with it and throw in some criticism. Where are YOUR hard facts and experiences?? IMO, you only like to talk crap about chit you don't have. :mc_smiley:

ok, I'm done.....I think

WOW! I thought he said it. Sure made it seem that way. Kind of misleading.

Don't even piss off the pizzza guy or any food server because is not good. I would rather pay a fine.

i need a good generator for my hauler, i dont have one at all so i need one BAD! new or used, can anyony let me know what a good one would be or someone who might have a used one for sale?

I bought mine from ebay brand new. It was $240 for 3500 watts. I have had it for 2yrs now and never had an issue. I picked it up in Pico Rivera, Ca. and saved on the shipping.

All Diesels Are NOT Created Equal!!

In our never ending quest to bring our customers only the best, it seems appropriate to share a few thoughts and facts as to why we only sell "particular" makes of diesel engines.

Chevy and GMC trucks equipped with the Duramax diesels:

Many people want to know why we don't sell any GM diesels, specifically the Duramax diesels. Let me start by saying that the GM truck is absolutely awesome, we are not biased. The transmission is relatively good, frames are rigid and the rest is all great. The problem is that the motor is in our opinion a "consumer" diesel, not a "commercial" diesel. Explanation: The International Navistar in the Fords and the Cummins in the Dodges are found in all sorts of commercial applications. It is in the Ford and Dodge pickups, UPS trucks, FedEx trucks, tow trucks, school buses, Recreational Vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, to name a few. Ford and Dodge chose the International Navistar and the Cummins, respectively, to use in their pickups. The Duramax is found almost NOWHERE but in the GM pickups. Even Isuzu, who partnered with GM to build it, doesn't use it in any of their commercial applications. Check it out and see for yourself. Furthermore, the Duramax is rated by it's own manufacturer for a 225k mile life expectancy. The 7.3 Navistar and 5.9 Cummins are both rated for 375k miles and easily last twice that and more. Why would you knowingly buy a truck that is rated to be little more than half as good by it's manufacture, as it's competitors? The short life expectancy is partially due to the undeniably brutal power produced by this motor. The Duramax is a 22:1 compression motor that uses a cast iron engine block with aluminum heads held on by steel head bolts. A combination of three different metals that expand different amounts at different temperatures. This along with massive amounts of boost from the turbo to aluminum heads under extremely high compression makes for phenomenal power, but in our opinion it has no longevity or reliability. We shop hundreds of trucks every month all over this great country and have SELDOM seen a Duramax with anywhere near 200k miles or more on it. Go ahead and try and find one for yourself, I have. Maybe we're old school, but if you're looking for a diesel that's going to last you awhile before major repairs, the Duramax is not it!..... Isn't a major attraction of buying a diesel the longevity and reliability issue? You can make safe, RELIABLE power with the Fords and Dodges and avoid costly repairs as well. We only sell products that we know and trust. It makes us no money to NOT to sell the Duramax, in fact we lose money by not selling GM Duramax trucks. Unfortunately we can't sell GM Duramax trucks in good faith, knowing the facts as we, so we don't.

How about the FORD 6.0 Powerstroke?

This one's a toughie........In late 2003 when Ford switched to the 6.0 liter from the 7.3 liter, many factors were involved. Unfortunately for us (the consumer), we lost a great, proven, economical, bulletproof motor, the 7.3 Liter . This was, from my understanding, due to several reasons, both stated by Ford/Navistar and some reasons not stated but obvious to us. The 7.3L was introduced in 1988 and refined over a 15 year period until 2003. Each year it got better; more powerful, better fuel economy, and kept it's high rating for expected miles. In 2003 Ford/International were forced to produce a "cleaner burning" diesel. So the 6.0 liter was developed with an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system to meet the EPA demands. There was less than 2 years testing done on this motor before it was released to the public. In 2003 and early 2004 it had several problems. The issue that was not stated but totally obvious was that the 7.3L was such a reliable motor that people were getting over 300 to 400 thousand miles and more out of them and not buying new trucks, because their 7.3 was still running great. Good for the owners, but not so good for Ford. In our opinion they needed a way to get people buying new diesels again and this was a perfect time. The 6.0 liter was introduced. As a performer it hauled a**!! but it had serious reliability issues: turbos went bad with regularity, head gaskets blew, motors overheated. Maybe in the future we can sell late 2004 and 2005 6.0 liters, but it's too early now and we will NOT sell the earlier models (2003-2004) due to reliability issues. Again, it makes us no money not to sell them. In fact, if you look at our "competitors" they usually have tons of them for sale and very few 7.3L, as the 7.3L are getting harder to find. Do you think a car lot would give you this information even if they did know? They are trained to sell what they have irregardless if it what you need and what will serve you best.. We will help you buy the right truck and avoid a costly mistake/repairs by buying the wrong truck. We sell only high quality pre-owned diesel trucks. We are not some "car lot" that happens to have a few diesels, . Freedom Diesels is the diesel specialist. Who do you think you'd like to deal with?

Any technical questions, feel free to contact me, Dan (951) 634-5333

check out this website www.gooddiesels.com , the 7.3 and cummins are the best , the duracrap is still just crap

Very well said! Really. Good job. I have a 2003 and I have the 7.3l. So, it went through 2003 on the 7.3l

of the war being waged inside your head???

you two gonna have your diesels @ piss-mo right???

I will. Bob probably will not. I bet he will bring his RV. But, I'll let him respond

We get garage passes?

as a chevy owner, I will say this

If I had to buy a ford, it would be a 99-03 PSD 7.2

those motors are proven. just look at how many are still on the road. I only hope that many duramax's are on the road in 4-7 years

7.3 :mischevious:

ill pull your ford or your chevy plus whatever your haulin that made your truck croak and bound 4 dirt you better hush your ford got smacked up hard and im on 37s wrapped in crap o you mean ford or chevy,

rumor has it the dmax is getting the ax due to dependability issues........................ :mischevious:

This week I hear you and I will have a rematch (if UPS man hurry's)! :mischevious: Post back how that worked out :mischevious:

funny you should say this i was at the adelanto grandprix this weekend. my son was racing. one poor guy parked in front of me got jumped by 2 of the vagos motorcycle gang for being friends with another person. that was the night before i got there. then while he was there his house got broken into, then someone hit his truck, then his daughter went to another camp and got a firecracker thrown in her face. which prompted leos to come and an ambulance. the leos were so numerous that several came over and stood under my awning and i was chatting with them. of course the conversation turned to dumont , and the a$$hats at the grand prix and the officer said " these idiots will not understand why these events get closed up and are the first to complain when they cant play there anymore " his meaning in text of the conversation was a$$ hats at gatherings.

later on that night that same mans son was beaten with a 2x4..................................................

he is a bussiness owner and quite a nice guy???

im over the grand prix ill come out for the day to support my son then ill go home enough is enough.....

To many locals (Adelanto) there. The city isn't a great spot, so when the locals show up its just turns to sh!t.

last year it was a drunken brawl

this year it was a drunken brawl

next year promises to be a drunken brawl

the only thing missing next year will be me :mischevious: :mischevious:

i did not get into any drama but the law of avereges and my low tolerance for a$$hats im out !!!

on a good note : my son raced 450 begginer and we believe he took first cody kanzig # 321

and in the open class begginer again we believe we got a first # 213

results arnt posted for 2 weeks but dam my boy is getting smooth on a stock 450 r

we wont stop racing but no more camping in that sh*t hole

Bob wiped out on the 125 pit bike.

Crazy people at the spot Bob stayed at.

Morgan had a old 65 or 85 2-stroke that beat us in top end end (4th gear)

We beat Tim's 85cc big bore kit pit bike

We had a great time!

:mischevious: donutz&dunz :mischevious: I applaude you and all LEO for their hard work. I would rather see you out there without a flag then not out there at all. Next time if you dont have a flag with you I will give you one.

By the way "old time cops" (old school) also got to kick some serious !@#$ when people fronted them off and broke laws. Maybe the "new punks" have attitudes because of all the BS they get from the media and !@#$ babies complaining about the way they do their jobs. They have to take more @#$ and be more courteous to the a-holes they contact unlike the "old timers" who just got to kick their #$%. People want the cops to do there jobs, but dont want to see how its done. 90% of people who get arrested and get cited deserve it. Yeah there is the 10% of people who get some BS ticket for something most LEO would not cite them for, but they probably pissed off the cop. There are bad apples and dorks in law enforcement as in all work places and professions and donutz&dunz you are NOT one of them. Way to step up to the plate.

So if you piss of the pizza guy he gets to spit in your food and its ok? Just curious where the line gets drawn in the sand :mischevious:
