Haven't seen OFC or MWQ in here lately[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] LJ and you are still around[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

the difference between us and the people on the mustang boards are that 85% of them think the trucks are stupid and ugly. They also dont see the point in them. haha

Yet, 98% of us would do ANYTHING to have one.

Thing is, if I was buying a Class VI truck I'm in it for the pulling of a big 5er. Those trucks are a bit hard to do that with considering the pin would be about 7' in the air. I'd want a custom bed (probably a flat bed, or tow bed) that kept the pin at a reasonable height.

Yeah I seen your daughter with it this weekend. I was like "Wait...that's usually on his bike..." then I looked at you then back over and noticed the Battleship hanging off the front of "her" bike. Figured she got to ride dad's bike for the day since mom wasn't there.

Where do these people get this stuff?
It was in reference to these F650s, saying that his brothers cummins could do everything they could do.

Hes a camaro owner btw.
We've discussed the F-650s before. They are cranking out the power from an 7.2L I-6 Cat 3126B. The 5.9 Cummins ISC is the "little" motor in those trucks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] I think they are available with up to 300HP/900LB/FT of torque off the floor.
Nooo. He was talking about teh little cummins. The ones in the dodge trucks. you know, the POS trucks with the nice motors?
He was trying to tell me that one of those could put down those numbers with just a chip AND still pull 15,000lbs daily. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Ehhh...I don't think so. Maybe with a stick. Not sure if their slushbox will hold up. And I think I was wrong the 5.9L Cummins is the ISB. I think the ISC is closer in size to the CAT 3126B. And if you crank the motor up that much and tow that heavy with it, it's not gonna last. But you never know. I think Ford is pretty conservative on their numbers.

Though we eat 4R100s on the back of a 460 every 60K miles and we run that truck heavy most of the time it leaves the shop.

Heck, as long as they make ramen and used travel trailers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] you don't need anything else[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


I noticed Rhino now has a radio/gps that is good up to 12 miles[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Hunting buddies and I talk about getting them every once in awhile. I think for riding that would be cool also[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] You would get to see where everyone is riding at any particular time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

LOL! Your pretty much correct[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I think she is ready to sell the mojave[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] and move up to a 400[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] She can definately handle the bike[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I did get my bike back later in the day. I was riding wife's bike because it was really the first time we had it out since we bought it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] and I wanted to make sure everything was working relatively good[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] before Pismo. Outside of the cable adjustment on the clutch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Thing ran great[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
