Now thats a little out of line Hammer.



We all know that truck hauls a camper in, drives right off the street and aside from a click or two on the star wheel, it dynos the way he drives it all the time on the street.

That has been said over and over again.



RT66DOC,

Thanks, I'm 50/50 on guage, or is it gauge,? whatever!





Lose- loose? Is another one I see alot.

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

Gasp! I can hardly believe it. Sled Puller siding with me on something Even though I don't even bother with the star wheel any more.



Three gauges per Ram; no goo-adges.

Turn it loose, but don't lose

Keep quiet even if you don't quite understand why.

 

[Sled Puller]

Joe I have always agreed with you on one MAJOR item-JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS.



Now, on about everything else, you are so wrong, its a wonder your truck even runs. Of course, you just bought a new one... ...

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

Yeah, I know, it took me two Rams to get over 1000 hp, when everyone in the midwest does it with one, even before the turbos "light" [presumably you use a Zippo to light them].



Yep, I have posted before that my secret to power is to use parts that don't work.

 

[Jim Fulmer]

You guys are cracking me up!

 

[Sled Puller]

We know your secret to power: Dyno choice!!!!!!!!

 

[RT66DOC]

Ah yes... lose and quiet. Those pi$$ me off too.

How about "lie", "lay" and "laid", "layed"? Layed rubber???



Anybody wanna get into the "proper" use of "hopefully"?



And since when did "impact" become a verb?



Up Mine, again. :-laf



Hey, with only (maybe if I'm lucky) 215 HP, I don't have much to lose in any Power Pi$$ing Contest.

 

[Hammer]

Hmmmm... .

Its is greatly appreciated Joe,the grammar lesson that is. I guess when you just come in from burning the late nite(oops,night,I mean)oil one tends to not care about spelling. Since your on this lesson now,define "Vendor" to me. This will help teach me and those who are afraid to ask what it really means.



Just in case though,tell me if this is what it means.....

"someone who exchanges goods or services for money"



Gene. .

I agree on the dyno comment.



BTW,spell check,what is that???... ... ... . Andy

just wondering why a couple guys from the east coast are even attempting to defame, belittle and discredit Joe D. on these boards.



Are you concerned that he has cost you some retail business, are you concerned that you have lost some service bay business, are you worried that Joe is false'ly advising fellow CTD'ers.



something I learned in all my business years [since 1964-til 2002] is that you do not build credibility for yourself or your business by doing a public display of your distain for another person or business.



Am I guilty of doing this in the past yes [my lack of love for Banks is a quick example]. . but I try to learn from my errors.



I would submit that your constant rants against Joe D. are starting to make you look like a fool and not the object of your postings to discredit him.



If you have an issue, do us all a favor and forget it, get over it. . we'll all have a much better feeling about you and your business.



If Joe D. has a business or is a vendor has no bearing on this board in anyway.



If I were to pay Joe D. for his time and energy on a truck it has no bearing on this board one way or the other and quite frankly it's between the two parties.

 

[Sled Puller]

Dang Willy, this the most civil converstaion Joe and I have had in a YEAR, don't mess it up!!!

PM sent.

 

[Brandon]

man this is old, Like I told keith last night, dyno trucks are different than street trucks... . This is old. Joe if you want to shut them up then run your pump on a stand, give us the specs and the chart, then we are done. Then anyone can run a pump on the stand to those specs and have a "standard" to compare.

I don't work for anybody or own a diesel shop. Neither am I sponsored. I am just stating things as they are. Joe is by far a more intelligent human being than me. Hell I am only 21. I just get sick of guys making a big deal out of 800 dynoqueen hp. Who cares? This is much easier than building a truck w/ 800 hp that has to be streetable, racable, or pullable. Maddog is an example of this, and I think his 800hp says alot.

It was my understanding that Sickly is a daily driver and pulls a camper now and then. Was I mistaken?

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

You are correct, Koa Man. I wonder if some hilljacks are in denial and overcome with jealousy at the wonders of the Sickly Ram

Poor thing has only one turbo and no drugs. . . and all those parts that don't work because they came from the wrong vendor, etc.

[KLockliear]

Cool pic. What's the smoke coming out from underneath the truck though? Clutch?

 

[Brandon]

joe dont dog this ? I am tryin to help you



keith I bet its blowby and dust and rubber off the tires

no way on the smokin clutch, first off its plural, and I dont mean double



LOL



I wanna pump dyno... ... ... ... .....

 

[Jim Fulmer]

This is not my argument but I watched that truck at Muncie and I bet I've watched the video 50 times of that pull, the phrase" When the smoke turns black the power is coming on" is an understatement(heard that statement a miere 20 years ago)

That truck is all business and is more than impressive! In the video you can see the smoke coming out from the bottom and the fender area..... turbo leak, blow-by... . who cares... . it hauls ass, but what you can see is the wheel speed coming off the line and at the end, I'm no clutch guy but that one is doing some stuff!

What is that torque number?
