Last night I went to town and came across a buddy who i haven't seen in a long time. A couple months ago he got a 94-96 ext cab long bed 4x4 dually 12V auto with around 300k mi for $3000. Since he got it he put straight pipe on it and some kind of intake. After we chatted for a while he wanted to prove that cummins was better, referring to speed. We left town and got on a wide, vacant, blacktop and he signaled 1-2-3 out the window and then stood on it. I mashed it and at first it didn't shift right but then it straightened out and I flew by him and continuously pulled away until I got up to 75-80 and let off. We turned around and I asked him when he was going to prove what it would do and he didn't say anything:hehe:. Then he said he wanted to give it another try. This time I gave him close to 3 lengths and somehow my tranny did shift right and I ate his lunch again. His look was priceless as I went by him, especially the second time. So much for showing me up with a dodge...:icon_ford:.
i got my A$$ kicked by a 700 horse monster 12V :rofl::doh: the guy works at scheid's. his truck is all primer and rust but it hauls. ive wasted several 12V's though. nice kill
they havent impressed me much either...I've raced several before I was on the forum and had no problem beating them...The funny thing is that each of them talked alot of smack until they each got beat but I shut them up without even having a chip which is something I hope i can get before too long but we'll just have to see
yea I know...the funny thing was the when we stopped and chatted for a bit afterward, he kept tellin me that I should watch out after he gets a chip. I questioned him about that but he was sure he could since I could chip mine and they are close to the same age.:tard: I guess we'll race again after he gets a chip:hehe:
Stock it may be a turd, but look at how many bada_s trucks are running 12v's. They are a great platform to start with and with a little investment will rock and roll...
my buddy just got his first truck a 95 12v ex. cab long box 4x4 with a 0 plate and pump turned up i think and stacks and it runs like a raped ape with the 8k suncoast tranny to keep it together lol. its a quick truck i wouldnt mess with it with my mods
I hope your kidding about the 8K transmission. There is no way he should have paid even half that for a built 47rh.
If you think a stock 2nd Gen 12 Valve is slow, you've never ridden in a stock 1st Gen have you? :hehe: We're about as aerodynamic as a brick, so I'm sure that helps.
I know that like you guys said that if he'd had it turned up and a so on he could have eaten my lunch but he didn't so it was funny because he thinks my obs stroker is one mean machine...I'm not gettin a high head from it because I know that my truck is far from fast but atleast i beat him though
Remember also though that even though somebody turns up a 12v doesnt mean they did it right. If there tuned wrong they probably wont be much better off than stock. Good kill btw.
