I was driving through Kelowna this last week and noticed a diesel shop out on 97 towards Vernon,they had some steel bumpers out front and a Banks banner.I didnt catch the name of the shop .Anybody know the name? I was going to go back but Kelowna traffic was heavy!

I think I saw tour truck on Harvey. I was at my hotel and heard it coming,thanks for some sanity in a sea of endless Powerstroke pavement queens.I am from Kaslo ,just visiting.

Ya, I was just in there last week pricing out tranny work. Good guys in there, big into Banks stuff and NADP, but they also sell pretty much every performance product available. I am considering a heavy hauler tranny from them.

Okanogan Diesel Performance, They have banks, and edge, pee and everything else, and are a distributer for NADP. Real good group of guys there. I was in kelowna 2 weeks ago and i picked up some goodies there.

yep way too many powerstrokes in town for sure,how did you like the traffic?

Little03

Traffic Blows there, No left hand turning lanes either its like a last minute dash across the highway, with a huge trail of soot behind me.

So many Fords there, they didnt like my sticker on my window I got alot of dirrty looks from them ford drivers

I dont think the town was suposed to get that big that fast.I hate the fact you have to know exactly where you are going ,otherwise that left hand turn stuff gets you.You almost have to drive up and down getting a game plan.What is up with the Powerstrokes?People must really like the service department there.

Ya I learned quick to take back roads they work the best.

The powerstrokes there are like corvettes a Dime a dozen

Orchard Ford is the biggest Ford truck dealer in BC. They dress em up with lifts and such to aid in the sales. I think every contractor in town has a F350 with a 6'' lift. The guys that have the other ones are self employed BC style. They seem to be a status symbol around here.

hahahha yep exactly what i was thinking.New jacked up powerstrokes outnumber cummins at least 10 to one I would think here.And like he said,every contracter has a near new lifted ford here,doesnt matter Ive beat all that have tried to race .Lots of money here due to a housing boom and "agriculture".

Little03

Ya the ford lot has some jacked up rigs. But even the 2 dodge lots had a few nice lifted mega cabs there for way better pricing and power plant then the fords.

I know I know old post. Looking to go up to Kelowna tomorrow. Might stop in n see what they would run me to put my first gen on the rollers. Wanna know if all that smoke the thing makes is worth it or not.

Interesting about the traffic.
I lived in the Okanagan in Washington in the '80s and remember the thought that went though my head whenever I drove though Kelowna was this town sure has big streets and no people.

Too bad it's no longer like that...I come home to visit my folks on vacation in Penticton and won't even consider a trip to Kelowna anymore...
