Nice rig :2thumbs:

[Cracker]

Too bad it isn't diesel. Granted I'd reg. it in Mariposa and wouldn't have to smog it but I don't know how permanent that's going to be. :uh oh:

[k5LS2]

I would reg it there and slam a 8.1 in it. In fact Cracker, I have a 2005 low low milage 8.1 in stock, And the Allison six speed auto. Just think of the combo!! Better than anything the dealer could offer :beer:

[jays68yak]

DO IT!

[Cracker]

Tempting but if I go with an old truck I'd like to drop in diesel from a medium duty. Plus the wife is the voice of reality and she likes the new Fords (I don't blame her but the loan dept doesn't accept kidneys on ice). :mad:

[jays68yak]

(I don't blame her but the loan dept doesn't accept kidneys on ice). :mad:

what I find funny about this, is that with you it might not be your kidney.

Do you know anyone that would like an all expense trip to Vegas? :beer:

[daddysblazer74]

What does the trip cost? A Kidney? :D

[Cracker]

What does the trip cost? A Kidney? :D

Or a new SuperDuty.... :p

[crewcabroller]

Please by a new superduty so I can see if I like it before I decide to buy one :p

[Cracker]

Please by a new superduty so I can see if I like it before I decide to buy one :p

I like the '07-older but the '08 interior is 1000000x nicer and that's a huge factor.

[stunnin650]

nice truck going to look at it sat if he still has it

[k5LS2]

Cant beat the old BB TH400,NP205, dana 60, dana 70 setup :2thumbs:


When my clutch hydro stuff failed again in pismo, Jen and I started talking about getting a new rig again :rolleyes: She found a few,, I went and looked
at them. This is what I found.

#1 I have no luv for diesels :( Even the bad boy ones dont get my blood pumping. I know they make just stupid power, and can haul the state of Texas around without trying, Im just not into em :crazy:

#2 Finding manual transmission trucks. Good luck :pain: :pain:

So after looking at one of theses new trucks and seeing the price tag, I decided that my old primered crew will be the best thing ever :2thumbs:
I mean, Ive towed or hauled without a clutch for the last 1500 miles so F it :flipoff2:

[Burt4x4]

How about you just fix the F-n clutch :D

[daddysblazer74]

How about you just fix the F-n clutch :D


His shop must not be setup to do clutch jobs.
:poke:

[jays68yak]

In his defense. The Wilwood slave blowing apart from where it is threaded together seems to be a manufacture defect rather then him installing it in correctly.

[k5LS2]

Yup Jasons right. After towing to Moab and back with no clutch pedal (speed shifting and careful planning) I replace all the GM stuff with race car pedal/master and a pull style slave. I thought I had it licked, Drove the truck a bunch like this, then boom halfway to pismo it failed :mad:

Im over it now, just gotta fix it again :uh oh:

[daddysblazer74]

Sorry I didn't know that you had already fixed it I was just joking around. Hope everything works out.

[crewcabroller]

#1 I have no luv for diesels :( Even the bad boy ones dont get my blood pumping. I know they make just stupid power, and can haul the state of Texas around without trying, Im just not into em :crazy:

Yeah, no reason to buy the right tool for the job when the one at target is more colorful and shiny :flipoff2:

[jays68yak]

Umm in his case its not as shiny. :flipoff2:

[crewcabroller]

I was speaking more of the engines... Gas engines sound cool and look purty.

[barbastard]

Speaking of diesels...here's one I'm thinking of going to look at this weekend.

Sweet upgrade. :2thumbs:

[k5LS2]

The stick is the shit!! I would "deal with" the diesel in that truck. Cool truck too. :2thumbs:

[jays68yak]

The stick needs to be long and have a grenade on it. :2thumbs: :flipoff2:

[CaptainInsano]

does the truck fight itself? :unsure:

[barbastard]

Seems as though fate might be pointing me in the direction of this truck or a new DD. Just got a flier in the mail from my credit union...there's some ridiculously low % rates they're offering right now and I qualify for them. Plus...I just got one bonus at work last week, getting another one next week and another one a couple weeks from now.

I'll be making some phone calls today....... :D

[k5LS2]

You better buy that dually with the 6 speed :beer:

[barbastard]

You better buy that dually with the 6 speed :beer:


I got the "ok" fromt the wife.

Think I'm going to go test drive it tomorrow or saturday.

Mmmm....diesel......mmmmmmmmmm......6 speed!!!

My credit union says i'm prequalified for a loan up to $50k at 6%. :eyebrows: :evil3:

[Cracker]

I feel 6% is high. Granted you can't get a decent used price or necessarily the truck you're looking for at a dealership, but dealerships in my experience beat banks on interest.

Do you know the % for a $27K loan?

[CaptainInsano]

Shit buy a late model low mileage quad cab dually super duty king ranch. Bling bling.

[daddysblazer74]

I really like all of the FORD talk in this thread :D :pimp1: :pimp2:

[barbastard]

Do you know the % for a $27K loan?

It's 6% for any loan I get up to the $50k. 6% really isn't too bad right now. Plus any loan over $25k i can get extended to an 84 month term for an extra .25%. Amortized out over the life of the loan (8 years) it only nets an aditional $1380 paid out or 4% more. I'm really not too concerned about the percentage rate because I'll pay the loan off before it comes to term anyways. I'll probably end up taking an 8 year loan and pay it off in 4.

As far as a ford goes....I'm not 100% against it but I'd probably go with a Dodge before a ford. I'm DEFINITELY not buying anything new. Been there done that...lost my ass. Buying used is the way to go.

BTW....going to test drive it at lunch today. We'll see what happens!!!

[k5LS2]

Yea, I would buy the chevy first (cause I like chevys and I could slam an 8.1 in if I wanted too, My second choice would be The cummins 6 speed dodge, and the third would be,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, well not a superduty :pain:

[Hoss]

Kevin I'm glad your not going to give up on old primer crew cab that thing is awesome i love it ! plus its just cool to look at !

[Cracker]

That leads me to this question:

I know when you finance with the dealer the interest is added in with your total loan amount and there's no benefit for paying it off early. Is that different than loaning through a bank?

[barbastard]

That leads me to this question:

I know when you finance with the dealer the interest is added in with your total loan amount and there's no benefit for paying it off early. Is that different than loaning through a bank?

Yes, it is different. My credit union's loan policy is that the interest accrues as you go, not all at once. That way, if you pay it off early you only pay for the interest that has accrued to that point.

I prefer to finance through a credit union because the service is a lot better but most importantly they don't screw you like a dealer will when you finance through them. Dealers will roll all kinds of hidden BS into their financing and you end paying a shit load more. Sure...they entice you with a super low percentage rate but in the end....you will pay more.

[barbastard]

So I went and test drove it at lunch.....WOW....it was badass. That dmax with the 6 speed is the shit. From what he was saying apparently there was under 100 of them made with that setup in 2002. So...I guess it is a pretty rare truck. If i get it he's even going to let me keep my class V hitch (not 100% sure it'll work...if not I'll sell it), my dash mat, floor mats and he's going to swap the power seats out of my rig and put it in the dually.

I'm working some numbers with the guy and got to a point where I think I can make it work. I'm taking tonight to sleep on it and I'm going to give him a call tomorrow and let him know.

Those of you that have diesels (especially Burt) ...what kind of mileage do you guys average. Would it be unrealistic to expect 17.5mpg on the average?

[CaptainInsano]

thats sweet. Don't diesels run more toward 20-22? Especially without a slush box. dunno don't have one. :mad:

[stunnin650]

i would love a newer truck but i have 4500 cash in my hand i'm heading out tomorro morning to look at the red truck talking to the guy i think it might be a nice truck

[Liftedassdodge]

oh man this is straight outta Walker Texas Ranger

Was that a burn? It smelt like a burn. :2thumbs:

[gr8pumkin]

Hey Nate 6% is way to high, I just got approved for the 28k loan and my loan apr was 2.3%, not that I'm going to do anything right now but I hopefully will be close after blazerfest.

[stunnin650]

well i went up to rosevill and bought the truck, dam it big and wide, the tire in the back are 35 12.50 they stick out of the fenders about 1.5 inches, just needs a few little things like overdrive dam it sucks the fuel

[jays68yak]

Sweet. That will be perfect to tow butthole to the con. :2thumbs:

Congrats Jerry......that's a fuckin sweet truck. Will it be your DD or just your tow rig?

[barbastard]

who gave you 2.3%?

[jays68yak]

Nate, did you decide on the other truck?

[stunnin650]

not a dd just tow rig could not aford to dd it

[Cracker]

Nate, did you decide on the other truck?

Not after hearing there's a lower rate out there.

[jays68yak]

I talked to him yesterday. They sold the dually to someone else but offered him a shortbed some what same setup.

[barbastard]

No...haven't decided yet.

They offered me this truck:

http://www.truckworldusa.com/vehicle/356/

for $1000 total more on the price than what the dually was at.

But...it's not a long bed and it's a 2004 (I'm not a big fan of the 2004 and up front ends on the chevy's). So...I'm not sure it's something I want to to do. I've got to decide within the next day or so.

I went and looked at a bunch of dealers today...didn't find anything I liked. THe dodge dealer in Concord tried for almost 2 hours to sell me a new one and I kept telling him that "it wasn't going to happen". He finally understood me after about the 50th time I told him that unless he was going to sell me a new long bed, crew cab, 4x4 manual diesel for $25k that me buying a new truck wasn't going to happen.

As far as % rates go......I'll bet that the % rate Jeremy got was on a new vehicle and probably from a dealer. Rates that low on used cars pretty much don't exist right now.


Congrats again on the truck Jerry....it really is a bad ass rig. :beer:

[Cracker]

I personally like that '04 but short bed and crappy mirrors. :uh oh:

si senor, never heard of that low for a used vehicle.

[camok5]

What kinda gas mileage can someone expect from a 87 or newer FI454 empty or towing a trailer?

[jays68yak]

8 if your lucky. :uh oh:

[stunnin650]

i think mine gets around 9 the guy i got it fron said it didnt matter if it was loader or unloaded it got the same

[gr8pumkin]

Nate that rate is for a used truck, but I check into it for you and you have to be a family member to be eligable for my credit union, other than that you have to have a credit score of 760 or better to get this rate.

I think you would only be happy with the duelly, cause aren't you planning to get a slider like Kevin? The non-duelly will get better wear out of the tires and you have to buy less tires and you can get a slide like burts. Either way cool tucks, don't think you can go to wrong with either one.

[tmanofcali]

congrats on the truck jerry.........glad i posted it now

What credit union are you a member or?

The credit score wouldn’t be a problem.

I’m still looking for a truck. I decided not to buy the 2004 CC/Dmax/short bed manual rig mainly because it was a shortbed and it had the new body style. But…I had the VIN number and buildsheet ran over at www.dieselplace.com (AWESOME website by the way) and it turns out that the entire bed, brakelights and tailgate had been replaced at one time (accident?) as well as the clutch and flywheel (a common problem I’ve read about with the manual ZF-6 tranny in those trucks….apparently there are some issues with the dual flywheels or something like that). So…sounds like the rig had some issues. So, I’m still looking. I’ve stopped looking really hard right now but I’ll start up again once I get back from Mexico on the 23rd.

Yes…that’s the plan to eventually buy a camper to put on the rig. So, I agree, a dually would be best for that. But, if I found a nice SRW long bed ¾ or 1 ton at a good price I’d probably get that. I can always airbag it and not get such a HUGE camper.

[jays68yak]

Personally stay 1 ton or the heavy half at the least. Im way happy with my 1 ton and dont miss my other truck other then parking.

If he gets a 3/4 ton and air bags it, it's better than a 1 ton.
He can have a smooth ide when he wants and stiff when he loads it up.

To be honest with you....I thought the 1 ton crew cab dually long bed that I test drove rode better than my current 3/4 ton EC/SB. It just really soaked up the bumps and had a better rid. I think it was because of the added wheel base.

Crew cab long beds always ride better.
I still wonder if I made a mistake getting rid of mine, even though there wasn' much left of it but it was a good platform for me to build off.
Now it looks like I will be building one from scratch.

Big rig style.

Word. 4 inch lift on both, 33's on both, new one rides a lot better.
