finally found the right one

Most of you have seen me on here and have noticed I have not had an avatar. Until now. I know the pic is not the best, that doesn't matter. Yes I am towing his '05 Dirtymax with a broken CRANK! It does have like 160,XXX miles on it so he had to put in a newer engine in it. It did feel good. And I still remind him of it. Thought I'd share with ya'll.

Very nice! When the "faster/better" new trucks break who is there to tow them home? Our old slow ones! haha

I also tell the newer truck owners that anytime, anyplace I'll take them on with a dyno test. That usually shuts them up and I've yet to have a taker!

coonhunter he only had a cold air intake and a superchip on hipo setting. He was towing when he broke. He won't go into details cuz he knows I'll say I told you not to do that. But oh well as long as he doesn't have to haul mine thats all that matters to me. He's got a newer motor for it now, I tried to convince him to go blue oval but he's toooo stubborn. Anyway I will still out do his new engine when its in and done.

I'm trying to convince a guy at work to go blue oval, but I guess not everyone gets it.

IMO, Lifes to short to own a chevy

That's just down-right funny there... good to see the Old Ford still running good and doing real work.... Not a big fan of the newer diesels at all anyways.... 7.3 PSD for life! LOL!

Sorry, didn't mean to offend... Maybe I was just refering to my own "slow" truck. It is much faster now that I have my PHP chip, but I know it's still slower than most cummins and dirtymaxx's.

Hopefully some injectors and bigger turbo will help me out someday when I convince the wife to let me spend money on it!
