Knowing that I am going to tag myself as totally dense and really 'noob' what do y'all mean when you say 'delete' and 'bomb' a truck?

 

BOMB is "better off modified baby"

Delete is the term we gave deleting the emissions goodies from the truck.

there was a time not too long ago i was asking the same types of questions about the 6.7's, dont feel bad, gotta ask if you wanna learn haha


On a side note............. 380 miles of highway 2 and blizzard driving got me a nice 19.5 MPG, not bad for its first road trip as a real truck sure beats the 14.5 it was doing before

 

Highway 63 in a blizzard is when I have gotten my best mileage. Drafting a semi from Ft. Mac to Boyle sure was fun.

 

These new trucks, its almost a different world, than the older stuff. EGR, DPF, cats, rail pressure, CP3's and one-two-threes...

Still don't know about the new stuff, heard that dodge will be doing the typical front end suspension recall on the 4th gen, to me seems early. I guess new trucks have issues with tie rods breaking.

 

IIRC my parents '10 half ton gas pig has been back for 3 recalls already. I'm not sure how they can keep building trucks with front end issues, they seen to have had enough of them over the years that they should know what to avoid by now.

i should swap a CAT into a toyota

 

Currently the recall just applies to the C&C 4500 and 5500 trucks. Rumor is HD pick-up trucks have the same front end issues. Been following a few front end threads. Sure sounds like the same old stuff as the older trucks, just with a different wrapper. Still like the truck lots, took me a long time to jump into the new diesel game, going from an older truck. Still daily drive my 02 truck, but haul my family around in my 10.

 

ya, i kind of miss daily driving the 2nd gen, it was fun with the chip and a stick to play with, better on fuel than my 08 used to be, now its a tie basically haha
