Fred has a good truck it looks to me...

I don't think I can make fun of something making three times as much power as my truck...

Agreed, I can't read it either but I'm getting very curious now.

All you have to do is register over there and log in if you're interested in reading it. It's nothing special though. It was kind of a joke about him running out of washer fluid.

Here is the first post that started it.

"Wife & I are out in BFE, enjoying a long deserved vacation with the horses and catching fish. Max temp is 78 coolest in the low 40's. Elk everywhere & fishing is great (Caught about 50 in 3 hours at Reservation Lake one day), nary a cloud in the sky. The wine was cool, the beer was cold, the flies were minimal, and the stars were terrific. What few people we met were horse people or fishers. What's wrong with this picture, I kept asking myself?

Then it happened - - - Injectors? no. Water pump? no. Fuel pump? no. Tranny or NBSU failure? No. The last thing I would ever have thought ---- Low Washer Fluid warning!! I am just beside myself! What the devil is a guy to do? I mean with all the failures that these Duramax's are famous for, and now this! I swear, I am ready to just bag it all & fetch another tall cool one so I can clear my mind for the next step.

AND IT JUST GETS WORSE!

Got home last night about midnight. Filled up this morning and discovered that after the trip home pullin 14,500# plus down from NE Arizona I only got 10.2 MPG. I swear I am thinking of going back to the 454 & the 5 speed tranny! Like heck I am!

When is Fred going to post some pics of his truck ? I joined DeiselPlace but still could not access the thread. Also found out that HOOT can no longer post to DieselPlace he was BANNED. He had some good posts over there, I guess they cant stand a CTD owner spreading "cheer".

I thought Hoot used to run that place, or be a moderator there? Am I wrong?

The guys over there were talking about it, nobody really seems to know for sure near as I can figure. He did used to be a mod, I'm not sure if selling the DMax and buying a Dodge caused his card to get pulled or what.

Well, if you did that you could come up with funny little jokes and post them all over the boards.

Looks to me like the Troll got chased out from under the bridge and into the light!

You are very observant. And a troll is someone that reads the posts, without posting themselves... Trolling... Thus the approprate (and funny) title.

Welcome back, I was wondering if you would show back up...

And due to the Mega Cab, the only friend I have that is a D-Max fan has ordered a Mega Cab in white!! We were towing together and I was getting 14.5 while when he tows similar weight he gets 11
