According to his sig he begs to differ! I think Co Co Puff wears the skirt in that household! :roflmao:

How'd i miss this one
Anybody who is married, spends 26k on a truck, and in the same year spends another 25-30k on said truck, just for fun, and doesn't profusely and profoundly thank their spouse, is just straight up askin to not be married anymore, or spend another 30k on his truck.

I wasn't aware being grateful for my wife meant i wore the skirt? She may have the high paying white collar job, but my carhartt's is all i wear

You divorced mack?

I love my wife, you're the best babe!!!

Anyone who begs to differ, have fun playing with yourself tonight, cuz your probably single

Maybe, maybe not, my cost is very fresh in my mind cuz its only been a year, i bet if your honest with yourself you have spent more than 12 or even 15k. Maybe not. I bought everything new, as a nobody, full retail most times, my loss i suppose, but good on you for a great deal:thumb:

Idaho Rob at ATP Trucks
Kory Willis at PPEI
Tony at Moonshine

Those would be the 3 I would consider if buying tunes today, I've ran quite a few tunes and Rob's always been my main tuner. Kory's tune impressed me after being disappointed with some other big name tuners. I haven't had the opportunity to run Tony's personally yet, but they have come highly recommended from a few people I trust.

All of the sudden I don't feel so bad for what I have spent on doing the DURAMAX swap on my BURB. Even with the donor truck cost(back when donor LB7's were still fetching close to $10K), built trans, injectors, head gaskets, gear swaps, transfer case, and everything else I did I still have less than 20K in it.

As for tuners, you can't go wrong with Tony at RDIGERUNNER, Rob at ATP has a good following, I've heard alot of good about Dustin, Mike Meyers(spelling?), and Trent. I now do my own tuning(thanks to TRENT helping to demistify the mystery that is EFILIVE when the shop I bought my V2 from wouldn't send me my tune that was promised to me when I bought my V2 from them, and they are a vendor here now), and have done quite a few for others since to help them out liek I was helped out early on. I don't consider myself to be a tuner, just a hobbyist. I would say pick a tuner close by or one who is willing to work with you and stick with them. Chences are the tune won't be perfect right out of the gate, but most tuners are willing to work with you and get it that way for you. And if they aren't then your tuner isn't really a tuner.

You know there are built trucks and "built" trucks. Do not get them confused. "Built" trucks cost more the the normal built truck. They go all out and are design with a purpose.

built trucks

Well, its never gonna be a 3.0 puller or a 9 second 1/4 truck, but i plan to have more than 800whp on a street tune, and 1000whp on a race/dyno tune, so i figure that desreves the title of "built"

Dont you?

When you are spending the money that you claim it should be a "built" truck. That is why my comments stated that. A cheap build is not really a "built" truck. It may run well but there s a difference.:thumb:
