so last night me and like 15 of my buddies decided to throw a huge bonfire in one of the local pits near us and had over 50 people there and like 25 trucks. so a dodge ram came out last night who no one knew and was completely wasted drifting around his truck. he did a quick donut right in front of mine and about 5 other trucks roosting rocks and dirt all over ours then proceeded to go up a hill and frame out at the top. we all ran up to his truck and got him out of the car and said he did nothing wrong then we showed him all the chips in everyones windsheilds and paint. then after a while of arguing we decided to pull him out if he washed our trucks so i hooked to the back of him and pulled him down the hill and kept pulling him backwards into all mud for about 1 mile while everyone followed . then we all roosted his pos dodge with mud until it was completely covered. it was a pretty crazy night. he got scared and just drove off lol just shows how some people do some stupid stuff. just felt like sharing

So you helped out someone that was stuck on a hill, even tho he was "completely wasted", and even after he chipped all your trucks up with rocks?

 

If it were me i would have left his ass stuck there on the hill, called the cops on him and got him arrested for DWI and then sue his ass for a new paint job, and new glass.

shit like that is a common place when my freinds hang out and drink around out trucks... always someone slinging mud to close the the parked vehicles.. seen many accident that way.

 

thats why i always tried to get a ride back to the woods when we had fires, or id ride my atv

i love bonfires and truck meets in the wilderness but the bottom line is this, if you want to go hot rod or **** around with your truck make sure your clear of mine...i hold no "oh he drives that brand" grudges, and i expect people to show me the same respect, if you want to drive a ford cool whatever but don't start flinging mud on my bowtie unless you want to go home missing teeth..its respect

I would have left his ass on the hill. No respect for anyone acting like that. The group I hang out with is small but we all have respect for each other, we would go out of our way to help pull anyone out even if we just finished waxing the truck, but when people get stupid we just leave them be. The saying is, straches are fine as long as Im the one putting them there!

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
