Haha me too. In one month my truck will be celbrating its 4th anniversary since it last ran. During the spring of that year when I was working on it all the time and pulling it, I was also working off the farm and needed a vehicle. I drove my grandmas 95 Crew Cab long bed 2wd powerstroke/auto. They used to use it for their camper. It was a true old person truck with the built in looking fenders, graphics and a lunar visor. I felt so gay.
Heres my lovely Dmax as it sits.
The last pull it ran at. Crankcase full of diesel, no oil pressure, turbo bearings thrashed, just gave up after this pull. Spent a lot of time and money chasing broken parts that year.

Between the shop trucks and overkill and the red truck. Not sure who technically owns or foots the bills on them
I think he only owned his red truck and the overkill. The new blue chev is the shops as is all of their other ones...
Ken's right, the guy has screwed people. Here's another: One friend had a beautiful custom truck with built engine, twins, the whole deal. Tunes by Rob. Dimitri was seen dowloading those tunes while it was in a local shop where he worked. Last year that same truck was sitting in Trent's shop for repair. Seems Dimitri had given the TCM a tune. The transmission wound up in 2 gears at once and broke. My friend calls it the "trans-smasher 10,000" tune because Dimitri then wanted to fix/build his trans for $10K. He brags to be a transmission builder and has badmouthed Trent behind his back. Pissed him off when it went to EPR, said he didn't want Trent to steal his transmission tune.....that's a joke. Trent's good with transmisssions and got it working perfectly again.
One of these days karma's gonna' have a face-to-face with Dimitri and it won't be pretty.

I don't see why people just don't save money anymore. Is it really that hard to stop what you're doing, make arrangements, and get the piggy fat again? I may not have a twin turbo lb7 with blah blah with 900hp, but I do like my truck, I blew the head gasket, but hey whatever, I'll just save up till I can fix it. While I'm there I'll build the trans and add a LBZ cp3 to keep from worrying about the factory pump going out. Yes it'll take me a couple of months, but that's the fun in it. The truck gets a nice rest anyway, miles stay low and less tire wear lol. Even after I've saved the money to have the truck done, I'll still have money in reserve. Then after the truck is done, I'll be saving up for a new motorcycle, the saving cycle starts again. I mean this year may be cut and dry and bare bones because I have to save money, but I figured I might as well get this done before the God awful Obamacare kicks in. PEOPLE Y U NO SAVE MONEY!? lol
So..... did you see this with you own eyes???? Or are you just another one of "those" people??
Trent screwed up a buddies transmission. I would say he is "great"... Trent build my friends triple turbo and motor/trans. The truck sat in the shop for a month before being touched. And my buddy had to help them take the inter cooler out to get them started. His truck defuels like CRAZY between all shifts. Trent tried a Tcm tune as did Zach at starlite diesel. They've explored every option in tuning and the only tune they can get it not to defuel in will not lock the torque converter.
It's a 1080 hp truck that ran a 12.8 or whatever because it defuels so bad. He had to dyno at 90-120 mph because of the torque converter not locking until then.
What year truck was it? I dont think its trent fault if tuning can't fix it probably a hard part problem. Trents problem was he got to big to fast that and couple bad employees did him in
That's what I'm saying. It's a hard part problem, and Trent build the trans with his kit.

One of "those" people? Did I see it with my own eyes?
Yes I saw it with my own eyes. Right there in the shop. A bunch of times. The owner's a pretty good friend, we've talked about it a lot. Satisfied?
He didnt build the converter, though he should have pulled it and checked it out.
