Yates's Duramax SEMA build

I hope you bring a trailer because the '48 is in pieces

Someone jealous they could not get one? I do remember you wanting one not to long ago.

I could have saved $10k and bought one, yes. But you can't even tune them and the interior looks like someone stripped a cowboy naked and threw his chaps onto the seats and called it a Laramie.

They are nice trucks. BUT... Historically Dodge trucks seem to fall apart (plastics, interiors, etc) after a short time. They've never really been solid to me. They've come along way lately, but not enough to get me to commit.

6-cylinder powahhhhh!!!!

Lots of pieces

 

[THE YETI]

The 5.9 and 6.7 at 6cyl fyi

And a 4cyl 4BT which is a power house of a little motor.

I think you are thinking of the new Baby diesel that Mopar has in the jeeps.

Nope. I'm thinking of the same 6.7 that my neighbor has. He actually has two megacabs. Both 2013s. One is up on the 8/10 Kelderman and the other is stock.

Nice trucks, just not impressed enough to give up GM.

Agree Robbie historically they have not held. Up. Now the only way I would own a ram is if it had a cummins and that would be it. Now I will say the newest boy i do like them. But they do have negatives.

 

[THE YETI]

I'll be impressed IF these hold up well after 5yrs.

Biebs has finally admitted to liking boys

Not enough reviews of the new body with long miles and use. In 3-4 years we will have some good info I feel. But then again every key I have owned but one has been GM and the latter was a v8 360 jeep wagoner. In highschool.


GM all the way.

I am actually impressed by the Ram interiors and if you read around most people ***** about the interiors in everything. I was considering a new GM HD but it just doesn't make sense for me to do another one with the resources I have.

 

[jdpber]

Ram will only be around a year so it's logical to alternate ram GM ram GM

 

[THE YETI]

You need a SA Yates.

 

[yates ™]

SA?

 

[jdpber]

Solid Axel

My company builds equipment for Cummins and they do build a great motor. I am very excited about the Nissan/Cummins partnership on the Titan & Frontier and the diesel Titan has potential to be an awesome truck!

Smart Ass

 

[jdpber]

But the Titan is a POS *** rice patty doodoo bucket. Support America

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

Lol, there are more North American components on Nissan / Toyota products than on GM, Chrysler, & Ford. I don't know about Honda because I don't work directly with them, but I am very familiar w/ these 5 companies. I have been to Mexico & Canada many times to look at projects for the "American" automaker suppliers

Do not see another solid axle kit in the near future.

Since when are you clairvoyant?

After taking with the soon to be new owner he wants me to do 40s before picking it up. This should be a fun couple of weeks...
