actually all joke aside, less than a hundred feet from that shot down house, i burried my first dog, Bruno.. and no its not a "desert" its called the "high desert" lol.. and Kern Valley is the only place in US where you can stand in one place and view all 5 bioregions.. :P :P :P and plus, the lake, Lake Isabella, is only like 15 minutes down the highway!! so, not really a desert.. lol..

Well, we both have a dog and cat burried there, respectively.

 

What does this say about us? Can you say 'loser'?

loser????

Speak for yourself bud...

 

accel, specs:

 

Dodge Dakota, 4X4, all whell drive

shift on the fly

4 low range sequintisized gearing

anti slip rear differential

skid pads.. lol.. ;)

 

Engine:

4.7 magnum, 235 HP

single overhead cam with special timing specification..

its actually a German engine, they use this same engine, little rigged, on mercedeses..

Tranny is the best part. :) 5 gear, plus split 2nd gear, makes for very smooth tranny activation, innercooler for trany and extra large battery overall, for cold mornings.. sometimes i need to crank my engine at 10 to 15 Celsius below 0..

 

and it seats 2 comfortably, a squeeze for the third, and the fourth is currently a woofer.. lol.. but its a very nice truck.. i dont know how i fell to this truck, but i test drove all the other ones in its clas.. and its not even a competition.. lol..

 

btw. sticker cost is 27, 500 something.. but with alittle bargaining and stuff, we paid 23 for the truck, and still about 27 out the door, with financing and stuff..

 

any more questions :) lol..

What's a sequintisized gearing?

 

And by "all wheel drive" do you mean it's a full time t-case? Is there an "all wheel mode" and then a shift on the fly to 4HI? How do you shift to 4LO ... do you have to be stopped and in neutral?

 

Do you have the 3.92 or the 3.55 gears in the rear axle? Oh and any idea of what's the ratio of the 4LO gearing on that?

ok, the sequintisized i might have spelled wrong.. but it means and is directly connected with the shift on the fly t case.. It means i can you the first 2 modes, , and Four Wheel drive, and four wheel drive Hi without needing to stop or slow down..

 

My truck is all whell drive full time, this takes a bite into the pocket at the pump, but in turn its an amazing stabil vehicle into corners and wet day driving etc.. i can outmanouver most I series BMW's, ofcourse depending on the driver.. lol

 

The gear ratio of my differential is 3.92, its actually a seperate package which comes with the anti slip also..

 

I shift into 4 low going at least less than 5 mph and in neutral, but i just stop usually to be safe..

 

I have no idea on the ratio of the four low gearing, but trust me its LOW!! lmao.. yeah.. if slipping was overcome, it could easily pull near anything, creates about 32,000 pound feet of tourqu at each tire on 1st gear low, as apose to 10-12,000 lb feet on regular or hi..

Well, then it sounds like it has something like a 2.5 to 2.66 4LO gear. That's about the same as my Blazer's 4LO ... but the blazer has 3.73 axles and the final drive ratio is something like 36:1 (4LO, 1st gear). My Jeep has a 4:1 LO in the t-case and 4.10's in the axles ... in 1st gear the crawl ratio is something like 66:1 B) I can idle up ANYTHING ... even up like a 50 degree slope.

 

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a pretty sweet truck. But I highly doubt you can out maneuver a Beamer. A truck is a truck ... you can drive OVER the beamer and pull 10 of them in a tug-off war at idle but let's be real. :D

im not making things up, if you know verdugo road above glendale community college unti about honolulu,, you know how curvey it is, and even though the speed limit is about 35, and with 2 school zones, and cop infested.. its a good place to race a beammer.. lol.. i have outmanouvered them, Audi A4's CLK benz.. i know it sounds amazing, but maybe the other drivers werent ballsy enough to push the limits.. :) but Gevo.. lol.. Gevo likes the limits...:) :) I go into a curv n\knowing how to com out straight, most people i hit it with come out to far right near the curb, or too far into the other side... lol... so they need to slow, but since i havent raised my truck, and its got the all wheel drive, i can accelerate through the whole turn,/ curve and not squeel .. infact, only place my tired turn faster than the vehicle goes is in the mud.. :)

 

Yeah, the Jeep can craw up 50 even 90 degrees no problem.. lol. if it didnt flip, infact most T cases can do that, gravity is the enemy.. lol.. After realizing how much tourque the T case puts out, its not that hard to realize why the dang U joints and drive axels break so often!!! lol... especially on an imported vehicle.. the toyota SR5 series.. oh man they must have made bank on selling u joints.. LOL..
