  5. I checked out that link. They look like they do good work! I plan on spending some money here and there on the bike. Right now, I am thinking I would like to buy something that is under $300. What do you think the best mod is for under $300. I already have a big gun exhaust.

    Then go with cams

  6. 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?
