Might as well.

Wasn't there a city that was passing an ordinance that if they had to extract you from high water, they were sending you the bill for the hours/equipment required to save you?

100,000 posts, I bet you get muted if you reach that within 10 years, just to make you go do something else.

I doubt I'll reach 100k posts in my life time. Who knows though.

Brian, I had 131k on my stock belt and it was still working fine with no squeaking.

No squeaking!?

Maybe Brian will let you load his 500+HP belt at the next dyno....

I don't usually push our products on this site because that is not why I'm here.
That being said, I will tell you we have an 80-140 Gearlube that is exceptional. Full synthetic, developed for top fuel dragsters, and bullet proof! Price for DTR#8 ain't bad either. I don't make anything on it and sell it at our Master Distributor Price (presently $7.00 a Qt.), which normally requires a $5,000 order to get.
This is my employee price.

Edit - 11:19am - Comes with Friction Modifier in it. I have never needed to add more.

If anyone is interested, would be glad to help.

RJ

D-D, would you mind looking at my clutches while your down? If not, I'll have RJ bring me some gear lube down with him.

RJ, is an addtive needed with the gear lube you offer?

It sounds better than the Royal Purple I have running in my trans and t-case... Does your co have better options for my 5600 and transfer case?? Really just the 5600 that I worry about...

As far as engine oil goes, I think I change mine frequently enough to not really see the benefit of a full synthetic... So cheap to do just using Rotella and a Fleetguard filter, why not change every 5-8k??
