Idk yet. I haven't talked to him much about it lol. I actually talked to his wife so info was limited. We might be meeting tomorrow. He lives fairly near lol

 

Hey, guys. Been a crazy last month and I haven't been on here at all. Just not enough hours in the day. Hope everyone is well and your trucks are running perfectly. I'm trying to get the final pieces to do my suspension work. Getting close, now I just need a day to do it!
Anyway, thought you might enjoy the family pumpkins. I like mine best, but my wife doesn't share my view. lol

 

When I carve pumpkins I always have a fantastic idea in my head! Then when Im done, it looks like crap lol. Love the Ford one!

 

Good to see ya Dan! Im diggin the pumpkin!

Some people get into carving like crazy!

Theres a cool one where they stacked pumpkins and made it look like a 'snowman' got into a fight and killed the other. lol

Scary Halloween Pumpkin Carvings

 

Well I didn't get that truck. I was texting them before I left to go meet them and asked what they wanted out of their truck. $3200. Not a bad price if its in good shape. But then they said, "But we cant add any cash to it"... WRONG-O! Im not trading straight up for a truck that's worth $2500 less than mine...

 

Great looking pumpkin Dan!

As some of you may recall, last winter/early spring I was fighting with my Optima Red Tops. Well it has begun again the last few weeks. Today the truck flat out didn't start and it was only about 50. Glow plugs are less than a year old and the GPR is reading good on the volt meter. All grounds are tight and no corrosion to be found. I basically got nothing from Optima when I e mailed them last spring. Found my receipt from Napa today and I didn't spend as much as I thought at 375, but still. These things are 2-1/2 years old for crying out loud! Called Napa and asked if I needed to go through Optima for warranty, which I wouldn't have held my breath, but he said bring them on in and we will take care of it! Sweet. Truck is on the charger now, going to take it up there if it fires.

 

Man that sucks to hear! Those Optimas are the cream of the crop when it comes to batteries. But glad to hear at least the parts store will stand behind it lol

 

Dan you should be done one with this: OBS PSD

 

XS power batteries are so good that when I spin my motor over I'm afraid the flywheel will come apart, LOL. I had one swell because of heat and XS would not stand behind it so I went back to summitracing where I got them and they gave me a replacement, no questions asked. Very, very expensive though!!

Going on four years now I have had 4 Optimas Blue tops on my 3,000 watt invertor for my camper. They run my freezer, small refrigerator and entertainment center no problems at all.

 

That would have been a good idea! I was going to try and do Powerstroke but the pumpkin really wasn't big enough. This will have more meaning to more people I suppose. Maybe next year.

Have to say though that carving your pumpkin with a drill is a blast. My one son did his and then took a small bit and drilled all over. He said it had acne! Lol from a middle schooler!

 

They USED to be the cream of the crop. They'll never get a dime outta me again.

 

Thank God for Napa though. They are the one last auto store i somewhat rely on.

 

Ours burnt down... Now Im stuck with O Reillys. Slow bass tards

 

Yea...I drive past the burned out shell...what's up with that? The roof is even melted...it musta got hooottt!

Dan,love the carving,that is awesome!

 

I don't think they are right for our application. They need a special charger to even charge,with the drag from gps they go down and are not charged correctly by the alternator and eventually go down. Just my observation...I may be crazy.
