Nice. I am getting ready to get a bike soon. I just need to get rid of one of my race quads. Keep us posted.

Thats sweet

There are other reasons as well. Like I said, you dont know what can happen.

I did and it wasnt a good idea. You never know what will happen while you are in school.

Thats pretty far. I will try and get ahold of him and see if he still wants to. Do you remember how much money it was going to cost to build a big block for my dads 69 SS camaro? A guy is supposed to come pick up a quad tonight and then my dad is getting a motor together.

wow. Its pretty far from your shop though, out in west jeff. I will see if I can get ahold of him. He is in fort benning at georgia right now.

lol, I dont know about the maintenance, just picked it up not to long ago. A rich couple in gahanna had it. 98 bravada, 97k miles, for $3k. Thought it was a good deal untill I realized the gasket was about to blow, fuel pump went out and need idler and sway bar links which those two really arent a big deal, just inconvenient.

I try as much as possible. I went to 2 years of auto tech school, but dicked around to much and regret not taking advantage of it. Now I am going to school for motorcycle repair and just finished electrical class. I work at NTB part-time and the techs there are some of the best I have seen, besides a few at bobby layman also. I try and get info from them but it dont always work out so well.

Ok. The intake gasket on my GF's bravada completely blew apart and two intake ports where completely clogged with dex-col residue. I have seen this time and time again. I dont even care anymore, its late and im highly pissed at my Fing gf for ramming her truck into my quad and bending my shock. So you win, when is the parade?

I trying to bring in as much knowledge as possible. From what I know is what I keep seeing over an over with the same vehciles from different manufact. that I have talked about.

Completely agree with that. But, the chemicals in dex-col break that down alot faster than any coolant, which causes the early gasket failure.

hahaha, hilarious. Whats wrong with what I said? Those are all facts. Tell me what is wrong with it besides opinion.

Whats funny?

--But you said that ford is pure shit and that ford is the problem. Untill GM quits using dex-col, they all WILL have gasket problems at some point. Dex-col eats gaskets and there is nothing to solve it but not use it. I never claimed to know everything about cars and never will becuase its not possible. I dont care if you hate ford, just opens up your eyes beyond chevy a little.

No of course not. I just replaced my kanuter valve today. You just cant excpet the fact that chevy is not elite.

Thats good. If this all goes down should be a very good time.

Thats great. Glad to see its coming along so good. I will have to come visit the new place sometime. My buddy never ended up getting anything done yet on his transam. He cant get anyone to bring it anywhere.

No. Every manufact. has there problems. Ford has durable suspension, espically on the trucks. The engines are good and the trans. The only cars you can knock on for ford is the escort, taurus, and contour for breaking springs and having some trans problems. Chevy has horrible suspension problems and intake gasket problems because of dex-col. Idler, pitman, ball joints always go out on the trucks. They are getting better though. Any GM that pulls in a shop with some miles on it you can gurantee it needs a intake gasket. Dodge will crap a trans, guranteed. Ford bulds a very reliable vehicle, keeping maintenance up is key and will determine its life for any thing you buy.

:asshole:

Sweet. Did you get a bigger shop? I dont see how you will have room for a dyno in there. Will you or randy be doing the tuning?

How much are wayne passes? I am in cleveland so I would prefer not to make this a road trip.

Dont let him lie. Its not blown completely yet, but it is leaking.

That works, its just excessively large. Looks good.

Suzuki and kawi split in 05 I think. Nothing is the same now. Ford is where its at. Its your preference though, I just wish you would ride one first before you are so strong about hating it.
