  1. Oh fuck I have one of the affected TDI passats. Thing is a fucking turd sandwich. As soon as warranty is gone its gone. Its had over 10k in warranty work.. Problem is now resale is shit because they havent actually fixed the emmissions problem. My guess is that either power, mileage or both is going to plummet to make it compliant. Most likely i will just have to trade it in and take the dry ass fucking that comes with it
  2. Well your wallet is clean after filling them up all the time. Then again maybe that is the whole point. I wouldnt expect our government to mandate anything that actually helps
  3. If it were not for emissions bullshit we would all be a lot better off no doubt. It is a reality we are not going to escape. The government wants us all driving prius' Ive had 94 98 01 06 cummins manual transmission trucks. My brother has a 14 and i will be ordering a new truck in the next several months. As the trucks have gotten newer, they have had more emissions shit to make them "cleaner" What i want the government to explain to me is why my "dirty94" got almost double the mileage of the 14 but the 14 is somehow cleaner. Granted its got a nice clean exhaust pipe but burns almost twice the fuel. Hmmm it doesnt add up to me.
  4. To my knowledge both 7.3 trucks had chips not custom ones just off the shelf chips. A chip and they lost rods give me a break. Besides head studs and firerings, you dont have to even think about internals in a cummins until you get close to 4 digit horsepower numbers. Hell you dont have to even think about those until horsepower levels are past where those powdered rods already left the ford. My comments are innacurate about the 6.0? Id ask you to explain but you will write a 4 page essay i wont read anyway. My dads neighbor and a very good friend just got rid of 6.0 liter trucks due to headgasket faIlures and bad injectors. I find it odd that my comments are not accurate but both trucks had the exact same issues and both were bone fucking stock. Both trucks were original owners right around 100k miles not some piece of shit they bought used and abused. They were quoted for headgaskets studs EGR coolers and replacement of the bad injectors. I believe one truck needed 2 the other 3. Two totally different shops in differnet cities. Either there is some giant conspiracy selling these guys the same story or both trucks broke the same shit. So if my comments are inaccurate tell them all about it. Your point about the problems with the 6.4 and 6.0 not being the engines fault but the fault of the emmisions parts is fucking lame. At the end of the day ford put those systems on there and they cause problems. If im driving down the road and the bitch leaves me stranded i dont give a fuck if its the emmissions, the motor or the fucking headlights. Broke is broke and ford built it not the customer who has to pay to fix it all later on. And im not some brand blind loyalist, i know quite well they all have their shortcomings. That is the very reason that i have had manual transmissions in every cummins truck ive ever owned. My next truck will be an automatic as the Aisin finally seems to be worth owning and quite frankly im tired of rowing gears. At the end of the day you guys can buy whatever you want. If by some miracle ford ever put a straight 6 with a big C on the valve cover id be the first person in line to buy one.
  5. Equal in price after you do the fixes to the 6.4? I believe you said the seller could do the fixes on location right? I think it probably get the lower mileage truck. It just seems like 150k is about where all the annoying little gremlins outside the drivetrain seem to show up on vehicles.
  6. I think you can get a nonresident sticker to cover the registration . If i remember correctly they arent that expensive.
  7. without sounding like a hippy treehugging asshole you really should just set the bike up to comply. Getting away without getting a ticket is nice of course but its not really the issue. Noise complaints are a big problem from people around the dunes and one of the huge reasons that people are trying to restrict usage.
  8. It all depends on when you go out and just how loud it is. Inframe cpi T5 and shearers are all too loud i can tell you that fo sho. You will need to get a different silencer like the ones cascade used to sell if you really want to play it safe. I put turndowns on my bikes when in oregon and although they arent really any quieter up close it seems to not project as much noise and i have been luck with the popo
  9. no doubt, when i ran shearers up there, i put some turn downs on the silencers and was not hassled. If i was up there full time i would look for other silencers that would keep the man off your back
  10. Yes you can run silencers on OOF but i cant see any situation where OOF are going to be a good idea for a real dune bike in oregon. You will be banging those bitches off trees and all kinds of shit
  11. I think the ford trucks themselves are nice, really nice actually. My problem with ford is the drivetrain. They seem to use their customers to iron out their problems with motor issues. They have had major fucking internal issues with every diesel they have ever put in a truck. They should have bought a good motor from a diesel vendor and moved the fuck on 30 years ago. Im hearing good stuff about the 6.7 except for mileage but lets face it because of the EPA all the new trucks blow on mileage. But fuck the 6.4 has top end issues that need fixing, the 6.0 needs studs EGR coolers and injectors to be ok, and even the fucking 7.3 that all you ford fags hold up as the holy grail had issues. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to put powdered metal rods in the later model ones was a toolbag. I have 2 friends that windowed 7.3s. I will give it to the ford guys though. You mother fuckers bleed blue and are loyal. Both friends sold their blowed up 7.3s and bought 6 liters, both had problems and traded in on 6.4s and now are driving 6.7s Maybe ford is smart, they are like meth dealers, they give you blue oval fuckers a little taste and know you will keep coming back for more even if you have to give handys on the corner to get some more.
  12. My brothers ford had the dissapearing spark plug trick too. Its such a common problem they make a special kit to put new threads in the head. Once fixed it seems to stay fixed though
  13. I find a lot of women complain about the way dodges drive and ride not sure why i have found them to be just fine and the cummins tows like a beast, but then again most people dont really tow that much.
  14. If said 450 comes with those bitches and a sandwich i will pay asking price
  15. BLM what a joke just like most government agencies who spell their name with initials
  16. 421 with shearers for the trails. You are more of a man than me. good luck

  18. ill give you 67 shipped and NYUK promised to give you a handy next time he comes over
