View Full Version : DTR going to Dodge only for now

As you can see from the logo etc, the DTR is going back to Dodge only for now. In all honesty, the Ford and Chevy forums have almost no traffic while the Dodge forums are flourishing.

I think it's time we focus on what we do best around here, and that's Dodge trucks. There are plenty of sites out there to handle the Ford and Chevy side of the house. At this point, I think we need to focus on our core competency.

If you have any questions or issues, feel free to email me privately, or send me a PM.

We may add these section back in the future, but that will depend on demand. Unfortunately, the demand just wasn't there. At least we tried ;D

The Diesel Stop (http://www.thedieselstop.com)

Go to that website and you can learn more about Fords than you ever care to know.

Yes, once it was partitioned, I thought it was pretty slick.

Good decision Jack and Lary.

I still see the Duramax and the Powerstroke in the logo. I thought they were to disappear.

Sorry, no poll. They're gone for now. they may come back later, but for now, it aint happening. I know some of the folks used them, but for the amount of work I had to do to keep them up, it wasn't worth it at this time.

Dude....if you're really interested in Fords take my advice and go to www.thedieselstop.com. You'll learn more there about Fords than you could ever get over here. Trust me. ;) You can also go to www.ford-trucks.com, but they'll call you a troll and a bunch of other silly names if they find out you're a Dodge owner. Still some good info there though...

Don't matter. We're talking about the DTR, so I don't really care about that Ford site. I know the guy who runs it, and I've had situations with him in the past. I'll leave it at that. Back on the topic please...

When did the new/old/new logo come back?

Do we have plans for another sticker run?
Mine are almost white from fading.

Never mind on the logo question, its back to the old one again.

Must have been a cache thing on this computer.

Question on the stickers is still valid though.

I thought it was a good idea,but like jack said ain't nobody using them. So the best thing to do is get rid of them :'( it's gotta be a lotta work keeping them going and hardly anyone posting there. i liked going and looking but there was nothing new that was posted much. You guys are doing a great job with the site, thank you for letting our thoughts and questions be posted here. :)

Hoss, i can't believe you admitted to being stupid. ;D ;D

Wow,
I go away for three weeks and you guys go nuts. [laugh] [laugh]
It was funny - - I logged on and everything looked normal. Suddenly it dawned on me we were back like the good ole days. Teach me for taking off and having fun.
I always taught my people to concentrate on what you do well - - when you truly master it, then we will discuss doing other things too. I really blew some nice money chasing things that were not core. I think you did right, Jack.

I dont really care if there is a Ford/Chevy Specific Spot on the forums but this is a DieselTruckResource site. Thats the name, Not DodgeDieselTruckResource. When I first Joined it had the Ford Spot, I have a Power Stroke Truck and A Cummins Powered Ford Truck and Feel Kinda Out of Place at the "Other" Site with The Cummins Truck. So My Point is If you guys dont Want My Cummins Powered Ford truck and me here Let me know and I will stay away. No Bad feelings Either way.

Thank you,
BB

BB,
The biggest reason we did away with the other brands was lack of interest. You are more than Welcome here. http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/yabbse/YaBBImages/thumbup.gif ,,,,,,,,, Oh,,, that's not to say ya won't read a dig or two about the Chevys & Fords,,,, ::) ,,,,,, but I think most of us agree that it's all in fun. I've got a nice 86 F-150 SB with a bad rod knock and no oil pressure sitting at the house that would be really cool with a Cummins under the hood. ;D The wife wants me to fix that because she said she liked driving that better than her 98 Camaro.
Point is,,,,,, "If everybody liked the exact same thing,,,,,, it would be a really dull world". I love my Cummins Ram and I'll never go back to driving a gasser,,,,,, but anything with wheels and a motor has always had my interest and probably always will. ;D [laugh]

I uploaded a few pics and they are under "my Cummins Powered Ford" I dont know how to link to it right this second but they are there. Im going to take some detailed shots of the motor and trans but havent had the time. I will do it soon though.
It is a blast for sure. I Love turning heads when the black smoke rolls and I have lots and lots of guys wanting to look under the hood. TDR had a meeting at Rocky Mountain Cummins this summer and you should have seen the guys gather around it when I opened the hood. The head Tech for RMC said "I'm Totaly Impressed" I got a kick out of that.
Anyway Thanks for the "welcome" to the site.

BB, part of the reason this is such a Dodge oriented site is because it started out as a Dodge site. Back in the old days it was Dodge-Diesel.org. The site was later changed to DieselTruckResource....for reasons that I don't really recall...but that doesn't really matter. In an effort to expand our horizons a bit, the powers that be decided to include Chevy and Ford as well. Some people liked the idea and others hated it. Like others have said though, apparently there just wasn't much interest and they weren't drawing much of a crowd. That's the reason they were removed.

You're always welcome on this site....no matter what you drive. And, owning a Cummins powered Ford is a plus in my book. If Ford would put a Cummins engine in their pickups I wouldn't be driving a Dodge right now. ;)
