We all know that still sitting in the box it makes more power than that POS you drive..... 8)

But at least mine stays running and isn't "sick" all the time!  :crackup:

When has Blue's truck been sick?.... ???



I was going to modify my post but you beat me to a reply. Seriously (I know, you can't believe it!) since you are making a lot of power I know you are more likely to stress and break things. I'm still running on the way-safe Magnuson tune so I shouldn't have issues, except maybe for the tranny (as I knock on wood big time  ;D).




Hmmm.. I always new you were delusional, and that post just proved it.... I don't recall my truck ever stressing and breaking anything. I also don't recall my truck ever being broke.... much less being able to recall a single day that I have not been able to drive my "stressed, broken" truck to work.... Quite the opposite, most days my "stressed" truck is on the interstate heading out of town or coming back....

Wait... I remember there were those three days I could not drive my truck under any circumstance.... Yeah... back in February 2006... I remember now.... I faintly remember it being in the shop.... HAVING STAGE 2 HEADS, CAM, AND INJECTORS INSTALLED......


and I still say it "looked" faster than that POS you drive......

 :crackup:

I seem to remember a fueling issue that kept it from running correctly........when you were working on the intercooler, I think. And then there's that wideband that's malfunctioning.

The "fueling issue" was a airflow coupling left loose on the blower by me when I installed the aftercooler.... No "stressed or broken" pieces there... and yes the wideband O2 sensor and the fuel gauge are currently malfuntioning and reading incorrectly... no "broken peices" brought on by undue stress there either..... Nothing there that prevents the truck from being driven on any day of the week...even when the coupling was loose....

I suggest if you are trying to stir sh!t here like you do at CAFNA then we can call it for what it is and get on with it.... otherwise go  :mod: yourself.......


BTW.. that might cost me a Karma point... can I spend another? I have two left............ 8)

I would rather not take anything to PM. I came over here with Mick because we decided that CAFNA would not be the best forum to assist with the centrifugal blower install due to just this BS. Seems it will be futile to expect people that stir this crap will not continue the BS over here. Isn't it funny that the same people will have no value or experience to add to a centrifugal build out and will stand ready to stir at a moments notice. This particular individual has a deep seated, needful habit that needs to "protect" people from my narrow minded thought process and is very vocal in the process. I guess he is enpowered by the security of a keyboard... I really don't know.... I usually find that trait in women, being needful and protective of the weak.

Of course, he did qualify his background..... he is out there breaking farm equipment.... that is where his actual experience is. Funny though, I thought a Midwest Avalanche was driven on the highway, not a corn field.....

Anyway, it would seem this might not work either Mick. Seems I continue to be the biggest turd in the sack who has no use beyond attracting flies, especially since a few people have nothing better to do beyond stirring the pile every chance they get.

If you run into trouble on that install, just email or call me. You have my number and email..... Good Luck
