I hope to have the battery charged up by tomorrow so I can get it outside and give this section a good wash, and then install some new sound ;)

I'll put up more picks as I get through the upgrades, got at least 3 more things to change on her ;)

[Atomic_Sportsman]

I am interested to hear how you like the sound. I am still searching for a way to not make the 800 sound like a bumble bee besides true duals.

[hampster_rancher]

I was wondering when you were going to open that box! LOL Should be wicked!!

[racer37l]

Nice!

[ill*eagle]

Looks good! Can't wait to hear/see it!

[800Stealth]

Oooooooo, shiney!

[Rubberdown]

I was wondering when you were going to open that box! LOL Should be wicked!!

That big ass box has been sitting in my living room on the floor since the day I picked it up, it just finally got brought out to the shop.

[swampthing]

I thought it was suppost to be 2 but only seen one can

[Rubberdown]

Got the Muzzy's installed tonight, found out the air box lid wasnt on properly and the air box has a good amount of mud inside it, luckily the filter did a good job of keeping it out of the motor. Anyways, heres some more progress...

How quickly the color changes, this is after running it for about 2 minutes,

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j158/rubberdown/NiagaraFalls-20110419-00115.jpg

And of course some sound, this is after 1 minute of running it, without the spark arrestors installed,

[Rubberdown]

And heres the next addition for the machine, I will get the bed put back on, then put the wheels and tires together. We are going with 30-9-14 silverbacks all the way around on a set of black and silver 14" aluminum Swamp Lox

More parts on the way, more pics coming soon ;)

[English]

looking good Paul!! Like the silver n black lox!

[BirdDog4x4]

Damn Paul, that is going to look sweet when you are done!

[ill*eagle]

Looks Great! How'd that harness make out that was sitting on the exhaust? lol ;)
Can't wait to see the finished product!
Sounds great too!

[Nordik1]

That sounds sooo good!, oops.... I think that I just got a Little too excited! heheh!

[double"d"]

Looks great Paul !! my kid set up his user acc but still cant use the site . it was about a week ago his user name is double ds kid ?

[swampthing]

wow man, that sounds excellent!! Those LoX look sexy as hell.

["Bankrupt"]

You can't hide money!!!!!

Sure would be nice to get some more RDC stickers for all of our new rides down here...... Guess I'll just have to be like Phil and wait for 3 years........

[Rubberdown]

^^^ LOL, this is all for the company bro, it promotes the business ;)

PM me your addy and we'll get some sent out in the mail.

[Rubberdown]

Just a tiny little "melty" spot on the plastic covering.

[scar_11]

sweet looking pipes and loxs

["Bankrupt"]

So what your saying is you were able to buy all this stuff and deduct it on your taxes as business expense? Pretty damn nifty..... I need to start up a ATV related business lol.


That sucks you already bought this setup though. Cain took the Looney Tuned duals, PC5 and auto tune off his RZR this week and have them all for sell. I think he's asking 800.00 for all of it.

[Rubberdown]

That DOES suck. And yes, the ATV and RZR have every product we make on them, as well as some of the products we sell ie programmers, clutch kits etc, so they become a sales tool at rides, events and the like.... Truck and trailer are also required for this business, so they to are business expenses.

Hey Eric, keep an eye opened in your area for me for a duramax 4 door with lower miles, like 50,000 or less in good shape, might have to fly down to visit if a nice truck comes up within the next 2 months....

[badmaners]

Goin' GM Paul? Comin to your senses I see lol.

["Bankrupt"]

How big you want it? I know where a lifted one with "stuff" done to it is sitting right now.

[Rubberdown]

been told to steer clear of the ford diesels too many times lately so I figure I better get something else.
Seems they ALL have a good and a bad quality about them, dodge has the cummings, best power plant, but shitty tranny, ford has a decent tranny I hear, but the motor sucks, lots of head bolt and injector issues, GM seems to have the right balance of power and gearing as long as you dont hop it up with a huge HP chip or whatever, otherwise they are known to slip a lot, so not mods, just get in and drive the biotch.....

[Rubberdown]

LOL, would love a lifted one, but what kinda stuff, read my above post....

[Bad Kitty]

Awsome call on the lox Melissa, gunna be saweeeet fo sho. And GMC= FTW Cap'n. Another good call, IMO anyhew.

["Bankrupt"]

Ford is good as long as you stick with the 7.3 or get a newer one with the 6.7

The 6.0 motor is not a bad engine but the main problems come from owners not keeping up with the oil changes. The injectors are oil fired and when you start slacking on oil changes you run into major problems. The 6.4 is better but still not perfect. The new 6.7 is much better but still not as tried and true as the 7.3

[hampster_rancher]

so not mods, just get in and drive the biotch.....

BS I say! LOL. I left my Cummins alone for, oh, 8 hours before I had all my goodies ordered up for it! Driving a stock diesel is ok, any of them will pull like a mule, throw a programmer, intake and exhaust on them and they will pull like a pair of freight trains!! WAY more exciting!!

You still have to watch out for what year of D-Max or you could be dropping a couple G's on injectors...Just an FYI. And Don't go too new on any of them or you are going to be plagued with a shit load of emissions stuff which rob you of both power and fuel economy.

[Bad Kitty]

U still have a few months from what I gather. I say, for the amount of money U have to spend, why not build yourself something that U need? Buy a body style that Melissa likes and build a motor, transfer case and tranny. Way cheaper and U can spend the money where U need the upgrades. Piece out the work. Be done in no time. Just a thought Cap'n, well spent money as well IMO anyhew. Lol

[wildhigh]

mopar paul

[stricker76]

Getting off topic here, arn't we guys?? Oh well, Paul started it so i guess it's ok. Skip anything 07.5 and newer for any diesel ya go with. The new emmisions stuff is bullshit, and unless you want to put it back to stock every couple years for the sniffer test than skip them. Bottom line is, how much ya want to spend? 01-04.5 duramax have injector issues, but i bought mine cheaper figureing i may have to do them at some point, and that point came a year after buying it. $2000 for injectors and a day and a half labour and they were done and i dont have to worry about them. the newer ones still have some injector problems but they are alot easier to change. And with what you said earlier about the truck and trailer being business expences........spend $3000 to build the tranny and go make some power!! I'm keeping an eye out down south for myself but i'm looking a little higher mileage, i'll let you know if i see a good low mileage truck.


mopar paul

The ONLY thing dodge trucks have going for them is the cummins!

[Rubberdown]

maybe $20,000ish

[Rubberdown]

maybe more, still gotta talk to the bank....

[badmaners]

mopar paul

Last time I saw you, you were drivin' a GM??

[klub222]

$20000 wont buy much of a diesel pickup unless it has tons of miles (down here anyways) seems like there are tons of nice trucks in the $30000 range


and if your going to buy a diesel the first thing i would do is add a programmer and some exhaust to help it breathe better you would be amazed on how much more power you can pull out of those things

[klub222]

Big Truck (http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dda/detail.jsp?ct=u&address=50313&resultCar=263087312&dealership_view_name=gregcoats&car_id=263087312&dealer_id=618644)



heres one that is pretty stock......who would want to have a truck that big seriously???

[Tonymarucio]

Go big or go home :)

[Tonymarucio]

I got a 01 2500hd 6.0 gas chevy and I'm amazed at what it can pull. But you feel it in your wallet for sure dam gassers

[hampster_rancher]

The ONLY thing dodge trucks have going for them is the cummins!

You've had a lot of problems with all your Dodge trucks??



spend $3000 to build the tranny and go make some power!!

This is my plan. Bought the truck cheap and fix it up the way I want it and make it bullet proof.... All for cheaper than buying a gasser in fair condition.

[stricker76]

You've had a lot of problems with all your Dodge trucks??

I read some stuff on this newfangled intranet thingy, just like all the canam guys that bash popos. Lol how bout you?

[hampster_rancher]

LMAO! Same problems every one else has. They are all junk, dont matter whats on the hood. There is no miracle truck. Its all just a matter of what you are willing to do to over come the short comings of the brand......... a tranny here, injectors there, head studs and gaskets over there.......... Kinda funny how all 3 have there issues, and the fixes all seem to cost about the same amount.
Drive 'em all Paulie, pick the one that is most comfortable for you and then jew the guy down $3000 so you have the money to fix its issue. LOL

Or buy a dodge, but jew em down 10g so you can buy a chevy roller to put the cummins in! Lol. Seriously though, they all have their issues, but dodges wiring and electronics lately scare the shit out of me. Maybe its just the hemi trucks, but I cant believe some of the horror storys lately from customers with electronic issues. There was someone else too......who was that again....? LOL

[hampster_rancher]

OH, that was me!! LOL Ya, the HEMI trucks are not only HORRIBLE on gas, but the wiring problems and computer issues are rediculous. Honestly, you couldnt pay me to own another HEMIroid. Total garbage.

[wildhigh]

Last time I saw you, you were drivin' a GM??

2 gm's but you cant beat the power of a cummins for pauls big ass trailer

[stricker76]

My duramax had no problem pulling that trailer. Not like he loads it up much, but it don't take much to drag down a 5.4L ford.

[Bad Kitty]

Did U not have that thing full as it's ever been as well? Go GM!!!!

[stricker76]

Probably was as loaded as its ever been, but it was still pretty lite. I had my little 16' loaded alot heavier than pauls has ever been coming back from texas last week, and still didnt break a sweat.

[Bad Kitty]

Is there a tune in that beater Scott? I gotta ask man, how many miles? I remember U posting two hunnad and that was over a year ago. Lots of miles since I'll bet. Most I ever had is 320 something on the Jimmy. Still won't die. Lol And those R Ks not miles.

[dodgeman]

OH, that was me!! LOL Ya, the HEMI trucks are not only HORRIBLE on gas, but the wiring problems and computer issues are rediculous. Honestly, you couldnt pay me to own another HEMIroid. Total garbage.

We've owned lots of dodges over the years and got lots of miles out of them before any breakdowns, the 2005 HEMI we have has 290,000 kms on it and it just blew a tranny but it goes in about 15 truck pulls a year and snow plows every winter.

[dodgeman]

My dad's 05 cummins has 500,000 kms and never missed a beat, also runs mid 14s at the track.

[Rubberdown]

Added some more goodies, she should be a little better in the pits now...

Might add the Autotune but not sure how it will work if the O2 sensor is always under water, anyone have any input on that?

[stricker76]

Nice! Them black and silver lox look awesome! Autotune should work fine, nothing exposed that the water or mud could affect.

[Rubberdown]

smkngstv has one on his 850, said the tune gets messed up when the o2 sensor gets wet????

[Bad Kitty]

The ladies are gunna have to tighten up them seatbelts. Lol Looks nice Paulie.

[stricker76]

smkngstv has one on his 850, said the tune gets messed up when the o2 sensor gets wet????

Really?? Hmmm....

[800Stealth]

It's not realy the wet part that is going to throw off the oxygen sensor, it's that the water is cooling the sensor... O2 sensor won't be accurate if it drops below 600 degrees. Using a 4 wire heated sensor should help alot to keep it at operating temp even when submerged. Keeping it WFO when under water will help keep the exhaust gas temps high too lol

[racer37l]

What difference did the secondary make?

[Rubberdown]

it leaves the line a lot higher, and it ran great in the mud bogs before it ran out of fuel, but other than that, I'm the equivalent to being tone deaf when I add new mods, I dont notice them as much as most people do LOL

[racer37l]

The reason I asked is that the people at Team Ind. said that that would be the only clutch mod I would need with 30" mud tires. Still looking into a gear reduction first though.

[Rubberdown]

it spins the 30" backs in the watery mud bogs no problem...

[stricker76]

The reason I asked is that the people at Team Ind. said that that would be the only clutch mod I would need with 30" mud tires. Still looking into a gear reduction first though.

Gear reduction? Hell, i ran 30" silverbacks on my 800 with no problems whatsoever. Only mod was a heelclicker kit, but i never did get it adjusted right. Still had no problem spinning em. Don't some bikes come with the team secondary stock?

[English]

i need too find out what the heck is on mine....mybe i can wreck it enuf this weekend too have an excuse too pull it apart..hmmm

[stricker76]

mybe i can wreck it enuf this weekend too have an excuse too pull it apart..hmmm

Sure ya can! Just follow me.....LOL

[English]

fine..but i'm not holding your rum.....

[stricker76]

Thats ok....i can do it one handed.....(that dont sound right)

[English]

can we go back to the whole "team" thing....


wait..tat don't sound right either..wtf?

[swampthing]

heh, heh...awkward....

[stricker76]

Get used to it Dion! LMAO.

[WildRider]

lmao!! TMI guys!!

[OnlyPolaris]

when using auto tune after it creates the tune you are actually supposed to remove it. It isn't designed to be in full time. but most people leave it in. Its like in the sleds if you leave the sensor in the 2 stroke exhaust screws them up rather fast.

[stricker76]

Back on topic. YAY!

I keep taking the autotune off, but haven't taken the sensor out yet. only a half hours ride on it though.

[English]

yeah..defo what he said....

[Rubberdown]

hurry up and figure out how to use that autotune Scott so I can watch you tune Melissa's RZR ;) ;) ;)

[stricker76]

Should have it figured out by the time you show up sunday. Doing mine saturday.

[Rubberdown]

not sure we will make it, got a lot to do around here that we just keep putting off.

[stricker76]

I know the feeling.....but i have no problem putting it off yet again. LOL

[ill*eagle]

not sure we will make it, got a lot to do around here that we just keep putting off.

Summers only so long though! Gotta get out while ya can! That stuff will still be there when you get back! Thats what winters for! ;) lol

Should have it figured out by the time you show up sunday. Doing mine saturday.


Don't forget the laptop this time.

[Rubberdown]

Theres NO WAY I can work on a gravel driveway in the winter LOL.

[racer37l]

My bike is the standard model(non-ebs).
