You would not believe the people that get pissed off when you or something you have does better than something they have...or even better than they expected.
I would have thought that people would be cool with the 6.4 performing the way it does...but many are not...I am not sure if its jealousy of others not having it, if its jealousy that the 6.4 can be modded with about $1500 and perform *** well as many other trucks do after THOUSANDS of mods and many busted knuckles...or if its just sheer rudeness...
I dunno...but I tell you...many people...both Chevy, Dodge, and other Ford owners are not taking the performance of the 6.4 well...hard to believe....well believe it...go to the smack talking kill story, bench racing sections you will see it.......
Its no way to be IMO, we are all here doing the same thing, busting our *** to make a living, and working to make our trucks better, I just dont understand being against one another...
But its the same in a few other things I do..one is MC/ATV stuff...I grew up on dirtbikes, now I ride ATV's...sport quads...and let me tell you...you dont want to get the 2 together, part of the reason all of our riding areas are getting closed, people want to fight amongst themselves instead of group together and fight a bigger problem
What sport atv are you riding? I had a nasty raptor 700r putting out 60+ horsepower until it was stolen back in July. You should see the looks I get riding around in my superduty. I will fix that with 5% tint real soon. Lol!
Scott, you know, I could write for pages and pages and pages in response to this. But I'm going to make it brief.
Time will tell all...and it already is. Give the entire diesel world a year's longer progress, stand back....and enjoy yourself. It won't be hard.:thumb:
not sure exactly what you are talkin about , if there is a problem on the site we need to know about , let someone know , i appreciate and like your truck so i dont have a problem with it :dunno:
I aint looking to tell on anyone...its just a general statement...not just me, I have seen this happen more than I can count. I understand its hard to go with change..but I tell you...change is coming. Personally I have nothing against any Ford...well diesel..lol...
Or no way its that fast, post the slips....wheres the proof...ahh mine is better even though I have 20 times the money in it...etc.
Right now I ride an LTR450, I first started on quads in 2004 when Yamaha introduced the YFZ, before that I had ridden bikes cause atvs were so slow..lol...I was BIG into the YFZ, designed a piston for them and spent lots of time on the forums, meeting and riding with members at the sand dunes.
that usually does go back to jealousy , i am jealous, i have 10 times more in mods than you money wise , and you would still bust my *** , but i did it knowing that ,so thats the way i look at it , i give credit where credit is due
Lot'z of pure meanness, hatred and selfishness out there! Pretty cruel world!
How bout the idiots that just have to lay down a key on yer paint!
KEEP YOUR CHIN UP BRODY AND STAY PROUD OF WHAT YA GOT!!
I do know that the org thinks your rig rocks!!!
i posted in the kill stories when i beat my buddy's stock 6.4, which i was happy with because i was extremely impressed with his truck stock (i know they're not impressive stock vs. a chipped 7.3 or 6.0, and nowhere near as good as they are with a dpf delete and tuner, but I was still really impressed with out-of-the-box power and ride quality). but i wasn't trying to bash them, if i had the money i'd get a 6.4 as fast as my pen could write the check. yours kicks ***, i'm a huge fan of your truck
thats was the biggest decision maker for me , yeah it cost me alot to mod mine , but it should be bullet proof , its paid for , and it should last me 10 more years , im tired of payments, i can go to the sled pull on friday , go to the dragstrip on saturday ,fillup the 120 gallons it will hold in fuel and travel cross country if i need to and have without a problem , so i figured i didnt need to buy another one
Without rubbing it in....LOL, mine is paid for as well....but I have much respect for those that hold back on BS and put money for their family in front.
I also want to add...since I seen many mods in here...its not at just this forum...its at all of them..so its not a particular problem here...just something I had to get off my chest...and its done...see yall at the dyno, track...sled pull..whatever you want to do...oh and I will take my kids to the park in it when we get done ..lol
Pahrump, do you live in fl? There is a truck just like yours at the quad races here in florida, the ssqsa series? I race the sidexsides and I thought it might of been you bc this truck is identical!
No I live in Texas....I am into the sidebysides as well, I am a member at rhinoforums.net...got some pics of my Rhino there I think...MPI supercharger..and some other things
i think the 6.4 is a kick ars motor. i drove one just a few times and i loved it. the only issue i could see with them is the mpgs... ehy tank how much to get one of your bumpers?? haha i hear you built them yourself and i gotta say they look awsome
I appreciate it,...but it was the one thing that I don't ever want to do again....unless a rich person wanted to give me a retarded amount of money to duplicate it.
Iron Bull Bumpers picked up my design, and will be producing them in the near future,....but if you can't wait,...check out some of their other bumpers.....just let them know I sent ya.
Oh okay, I swore it was you man. That's cool to here that somebody else here on this forum is into sidexsides bc I race the rzr in the ssqsa series. You do have a sweet truck man. How do you like that 275 tune bc i'm still deciding if I should get the dpf/cat delete and the 275 tune.
I think it all stems from jealousy. Some people just can not be happy for one another. It is a shame. I have noticed it for years. It is sad if you think about it. Must make everyday life miserable. JJ
It sounds to me like the ones that bash on you are jealous and have little d!@k syndrome. When somone smart mouths me to my face like that I usually just dot their eye.
Welcome to owning a 6.0 two years ago. It happens man. Ever time a new vehicle comes out and the bar is raised people get like this.
7.3 guys beat up on 6.0 guys until they prove their worth and some continue to do so. 6.0 guys beat up on 7.3 and 6.4 guys because they have an inferiority complex. I wish I could throw a grand into my truck and make the numbers that you 6.4 guys are. I wish I could just hop in my truck and drive it anywhere I want and not worry about something breaking or failing.
That's just how it is man. No one likes change or progress especially after some of us have invested alot of time and money into our trucks just to have a new platform come out and because of a few minor changes and then that puts us in the "history book."
Floridayfz450, that was you i saw, nice *** truck man, you going to the next race?
