Top Secret Tuning Info:
- Thread starter McRat
- Start date
ok heres the deal with that. I got my truck in april 05. I first started going on the forums in general in late 04, when I signed up on GM Trucks, Chevy Avalanche Fan Club. My name on those forums was DuramaxHD, with a mid/late 2004 join date. That same time I signed up there I went to sign up on DP, but someone had already taken the name "DuramaxHD" so I said to myself screw it, I dont have a dmax yet, so I wont bother signing up until I actually have one, and when I do, then Ill think of a new name...
is that good enough? Plus, all the "drama" issues started here anyways...
and second of all, how the hell am I supposed to know you "technically" signed up on DP before me, you didnt keep the same name "mike" on both DP and here, so if you really want to hold that against me for assuming that the "MIKE" (which joined in last 06) on the DP was you then fine, I really dont give a shit.

Thanks Ben for the drama.
Uhmmm.... I read in 03 ( sometime about when they started? I was excited to see a chevy diesel forum ) well before I signed and well I was actually new 2 lb7 here until Kat was kind enough to change it. And uhmmm I owned the turdy ( hence old6200 on the dplace ) 6.2 6.5 idi's and the 6.9 7.3 ford idi's long before the 2000's. I've owned the cummins fords and all the chevy's. Oilburners, lots of ford forums and blah blah. Many different diesel even a perkins in a chevy. Ford7point3 on some forums ford_7point3 and so on.... Not sure what this is for but reminiscin' is nice too.
But then again, this is no pissing contest. Just a reply to a reply. I don't give a shit either. I'm responsible for my post.

You are right. You got me.... Goes both ways fellow. Or did I read something into your " Don't give a shit".
I was typing response to your don't give a shit and believe me I give a shit that I posted in response to " walking on egg shells " making a mountain of a molehill>>>>>
It's all good Ben. I'm having fun, I hope you are too.

I hate confusion also.
In a nut shell.
Nothing read by me to give me my impression of the " subject of the missing table ", I came to my conclusion first hand. I've been around long enough to know exactly how full of himself he is and what his 'cat' walk is supported by.
I don't mind defending someone or trying to dissolve a situation before it escalates, who wouldn't. I first like to know more about who I'm defending. Being around as long as you have, that " why are you picking on him " defense is surely to be contested.

FWIW
This is not about a "TEAM" this was a huge display of loserville on Steves part IMO against Ross at EFI saying that there was a table that restricted 01 LB7s to not be able to go fast and limited fuel?????
4 page bashing of code and a bunch of mumbo jumbo
Truth is..... I dont see any limiter on fuel in a 01 ECM Perhaps Trent has seen it in his logs as I know he runs a 01, Dunno cant answer for him
JMHO
If you dont think the guy is high on his stench that is your opinion but ive never seen proof....maybe when i get a fast truck i will start to see it

Simon, I don't think he knows what " Team " is or stands for. He certainly can't have been part of a good one and also know what it's like to loose the same. JMHO
Furthermore, we always seem to fear the unknown and blame elsewhere for what we were lacking. Secret table, mystery table and hidden table all leading to education or lack thereof.

Almost.............
on the tip of my tongue......
The Turbo Shop?????
I give up, :angel:
Come on Simon, racinmike77 is a good guy... he looks for the best prices available regardless if the parts are knock offs and the quality is shit
He sure seems to get involved in business that does not concern him either

I know nobody asked my opinion, but since it hasn't stopped anyone else yet, I'm gonna share. I think Steve is a smart guy, and I think he has a lot of good ideas. I also believe that he thinks very highly of himself, and he has a problem having normal discussions. That isn't a problem exclusive to him though. To varying degrees, everyone suffers the same thing from time to time. I don't really care, but I don't see the point of constantly posting internet hate about anyone. I'm sure there's more I would normally say, but it's late and I'm tired.

Im the shit, and yes Nick I ran crank it up sleeves on my 01 and crank it up sleeves and centerlink on my 05. Are you cooler because you have Superdiesel parts? I really dont know but aparrently you are taller than me!

wow we are measuring eh? you might want to cruise over to thetruckstop.com or back to DP because the only gays we like here are Dale and Chris
Truthfully the way you went about buying your center link and sleeves was a display of your true character as well... i won't bring up the name of the person you low balled for several days then once he couldn;t meet Crank It Ups price said ok screw you i don't care about giving you business i'd rather buy from Crank It Up because his parts are the cheapest. Pretty sad, AND! you have no knoweldge of the history of Cole maybe what you have read on the forums and the history lesson Simon gave you. other than that please refrain from telling me im a cheerleader for the "Team"

It's really SAD that I don't feel BAD. At least for ME you SEE. As I have just BEGUN the FUN. You see, he hasn't stopped his hating nor should I. Wait a minute, gotta make that rhyme... Oh well, great topic this was ORIGINALLY. Smart guys are worthless when they only give themselves credit and bash and crawl over others to enhance themselves.
Josh, I missed the " everyone bash steve and get it over with " thread. Sorry but whomever has been affected still has there " thrills, giggles and feeling guilty " time.

That's the problem with comedy. The good stuff always offends somebody, or it wouldn't be funny.
Steve Cole is welcome to participate on this board, but he chooses just to read. He is neither the anti-Christ, nor the Messiah. He's a guy with a shop in Compton with a couple employees. He's made some good products for the Duramaxes: TTS Extreme, TTS Exhaust, TTS Lift Pump, etc. In general, what he sells tends to be first rate parts. The problem is that he thinks that in order to sell stuff, he has to bad mouth others who sell similiar products. It predates the Duramax. The list of those he's publically dissed reads like the Who's Who of the performance industry.
For those who think it's a McRat vs. TTS thing, that would understating the situation. It's a TTS vs PPE/Quad/Kennedy/Suncoast/LS1Edit/SoCalDiesel/Banks/InglewoodTrans/Tomac/McRat/etc/etc thing. I was slammed by TTS well before I sold anything for hotrodding, back when I was struggling to make my LLY faster. McRat Racing doesn't compete with TTS really. We don't sell the same stuff, it's not a "vendor war".
My beef with Cole has nothing to do with internet crap-talk though. Nor anything to do with selling stuff. Slimy behavior at diesel events is my #1 beef with him. Words ain't crap. You act like a shiit-bird at the racetrack, and I ain't going to forgive it.
The internet is a lot of fun, and there is a lot of crap-talk that goes with it; it's part of the scene. But the WWF stuff stays at the gate on race day. We are all "playing for the same team" when we show up at the track. Those who can't should stay home and type insults instead.
