Decided it was time for a better hauler to pull my trailer around. Found a super clean 2003 GMC Sierra 2500hd 4x4 Duramax. It should pull a trailer full of bikes like there is nothing there. I cant leave anything stock so for now im ordering a Diablo Predator programer and a 4 inch turbo back MBRP exhaust. Here are some pics enjoy!

i paid $19,900 for it with a full tank of diesel, its as clean as a new one. I have the window sticker and it sold for $41,000 when it was new.

I just ordered an exhaust like this one but i got mine of ebay a lot cheaper.

MBRP Installer Series Aluminized 4" Single Duramax Exhaust System (Turbo-Back)

there is a video clip towards the middle, sounds awesome. :yes:

Im still undecided on a programer so im researching more. Anyone have any imput on programers???

Same here, I recently bought THE BEAST, and it's only getting 10.8 MPG.....either something's wrong, or I need a chip and a couple other mods to keep the towing power, but increase the MPG.

As for the details, 08 F-450 SD. 6.4 Liter Detroit (Dual) Turbo Diesel V8.

I'd like more gas mileage, one cause it's easier on the wallet, and 2 I plan on taking a few road trips once I get the RV my truck will be towing, and I'll have that in about 3 days. :)

The Ford Powerstroke diesel engines are made by Navistar (International), not Detroit. The old GM 6.5 Liter diesels were made by Detroit, as far as I know, that is the last Detroit diesel engine offered in a pickup.

That's what I am here for, I need to find some way to use all the useless information that has logded itself in my brain. That is a nice truck though, that thing should be able to tow a 747 if you wanted to.

ya, found out today that some jackass, when he cut off the plug for the trailers power on my tow package, they clipped it off (yes cut it), ABOVE the coupler so that now, I not only have to buy a new 7 prong plug, but also a coupler and splice it back together....gladly I'm taking it in for 5th Wheel work tomorrow so I'm sure they will fix the situation.

      Which ATV hold better value as used
      By prdicon
      I was looking to buy a new ATV. 
      I was debating between Polaris sportsman 450 and Honda rancher.
      Polaris it a bit cheaper.
      But can you tell me which one will have more demand on the used market? Which one will keep it's value better?
       
      Let's say 3-5 years from now.

      Has anyone found aftermarket CDI for Big Bear 400?
      By Callaway
      I am trying to diagnose a no spark issue with my 02 Big Bear 400 and I am really hoping it is not a CDI.  I have done the test on the stator and I believe that is faulty.  I ordered a new aftermarket one from a the jungle website and it tested bad right out of the box so I am waiting for a different one to arrive from an ATV parts supplier.  I started looking out of curiosity at CDI units and it seems if it is for a big bear you are SOL.  Kodiaks, no problem.  Big Bear. No such luck.

      My first trailer project.
      By Frank Angerano
      So I decided to pick up a small trailer if I could get one for the right price.  I found this one for a few hundred bucks on Craig’s list.  It is  a galvanized trailer which is exactly what I was looking for. The wood was shot and needed some minor repairs which I could care less about as long as the chassis was good. 
      I striped it down and put a new deck on. I had some vinyl realtree graphics that I had laying around so I added them to the fenders which I think worked out well. Very happy with this little guy.  
      I'm having the iron workers at my jobmake me up a few lightweight side rails that will have a 22 degree bend in them to accommodate the tires that slightly hang over the edge and will incorporate some tie down points as well.
