As far as I know...or at least what I am told... there is only one owner of DTR / The Truck Stop and that is Nick (unit453)

but I can see where some would think it's funny...considering the foundings of many a site from DP bullshit...I still call it DTR :)

What'd you guys kick Jeffrey to the curb?

While it is more relaxed in Smoke Signals and Callout, let's keep the insults down to a dull roar.

Thanks!

This board was started as a place for me to share tech with my friends and customers. It became public when D'amico/Simper banned me from TDP for calling RDL out on this board for spying on one of his business competitors. The spying was unethical by anyone's standards, yet D'amico/Simper sided against ethics. Big surprise. :rolleyes:

The goal is, and has been, to share tech info among Duramax hotrodders. The goal is not to make a board to generate cashflow off the free work of others, as is the current business model of TDP.

Hey Nick I am just glad to see the site make a change for the positive, this may give it the boost it was needing..

When did Steve get his own personal forum over there?? Seems pretty empty

He got it around 15 months ago but hasn't done a whole lot. Little bit of tech support here and there.

Perhaps you could help Cole out and put some content in his forum.

Here's a great start: http://www.dieselpowermag.com/tech/chevy/0603dp_duramax_modifications/index.html

Apparently he can now get 400HP out of an LLY with the new Powerloader III (even with the infamous vane-position-error-spike) and over 500HP with a hidden bottle. Hopefully someday that will be available to us LLY hotrodders so we can finally start going fast. ;)

You would think he would post that. I cant make him become active. If he dosent want to participate, thats on him. FWIW, he's never caused a problem on the board. Politics from an old stomping grounds have been left at the doorstep. I only allowed so much drama between a selected few (and you know who) to keep from someone crying that I'm playing favorites or I'm all about censorship. I've also leaned that you cant please everyone either. That was tough to learn.
 
Ah, memories! :-D

Thanks for the old link Tom. :thumb:

Acronyms can be dangerous. WWF lost a lawsuit with World Wildlife Federation (like those two are related), and was forced to change their name. They are not unique.

A piece of free legal advice, that is worth exactly what you pay for it, I'd avoid referencing TTS as a commercial name. Should you piss him off, there is a chance he could make you change the site name if you reference TTS. He'd probably win.

I agree with you Pat, he now has plenty of time on his hands since he stopped hassling Ross and quit being a sponsor on DP

Cheers

x2.... you get an idea in your head of what a person looks like with 3 years (at least for me) of bullshit back and forth. Didn't look like what I pictured... :D
