    I dont understand people like this..    That truck would have needed 4 new tires to leave the parking lot.

    The new song 

     

     

    Is pretty good, Only thing is his voice has way to much auto tune on it.  Doesn't sound natural, sounds to mechanical.  

     

    As far as Sabbath goes The early stuff is great but Heaven & Hell and The Mob Rules are leaps and bounds better than anything they ever did with Ozzy.  Better melodies, better song structure and some of the best work Tony and Geezer ever did.

    I like it, Jeff beck plays on this song. ..  This new album should be interesting with a list of talent appearing on it...  Word is Zakk is lead gutariest on a few and hopefully zakk keeps it to the no more tears sound/style of playing..   

  3. Tommy Thayer needs to write a book..  How interesting would that be... 

     

    Gene and Paul turned one of the biggest bands into a business..  No other band has come close to what KISS created on the marketing side..  

     

    Being in a band or being a orginal member of the band means nothing anymore.. Its all about who owns the name to the band...  Its a buisness and profits is all they care about..

    I disagree, 99% of failures are after 100k and never on trucks with lift pumps and filtration.

    LOL 99% huh..  Looks like your unaware but Ram is recalling 222,410 trucks due to the  cp4 issue..  So you really think that ram would do a recall due to a pump grenading after 100k miles?    Cp4 fuel pumps are junk everyone knows this..  Hopefully Ford follows..     https://moparinsiders.com/recall-ram-recalls-222410-cummins-powered-trucks-for-cp4-fuel-pump/

    I have a 2011 LML, so I have the "dreaded" CP4.2.  I've had a lift pump and filtration on it since ~5k miles (at about 130k miles now) and I've never had a hiccup w/ the 4.2.  That said, around 100k miles I had the CP4.2 replaced as a precautionary measure.  I thought about a modded pump, or swapping to a CP3 setup, but in the end I was totally happy with the OG 4.2 for the first 100k miles, and if I swap 'em every 100k just to feel better about it, I don't mind. 

    The 4.2 that's now in my truck has never run without a lift pump, triple filtration and good fuel treatment (I use Stanadyne performance formula).  When I hit 200k, I'll swap the 4.2 again.  I had it done at a dealership, but my buddy runs parts and service there.  Still, he really can't "help" me or fudge the numbers since he has a tech doing the work and it's all "book time" stuff.  What he did do; and any dealer should also do, is adjust numbers if you do anything else at the same time that's already coming apart.  I chose to have the water pump, both t-stats, every single belt/hose, all the idler/tensioners, various misc gaskets or other soft-parts, and a few other things replaced while they had the front of the motor accessible. 

    All-in it was something like a $2500 job, maybe 3k I forget.  I put about 10k miles on my truck a year (hopefully going up as I'm converting it to "Overland" duties - prob start a thread on that soon) and have owned it since new.  It was purchased in late-Oct of '10 so I've had it over 11 years now.  If you amortize the cost of the whole CP4.2 job including all the extras I threw in (that will need replaced every decade on ANY truck), using the high-end ($3k) it's something like $270/yr.  I'm okay with that - I  guess others might not be, but to me it's not worth going and buying a $80k truck and spending the $20k on mods (lift/wheels/tires/stereo/delete/tunes/etc.) that I know I'd spend just to avoid the CP4.2.

    It sounds like you have a good understanding of the cp4 and the damage it could do..   The cp4 has no shelf life it can grenade at 2k miles or never be a issue..  Unfortunately with the shitty Design of how the pistion can rotate any time on the cam its just a matter of when.. Lift pumps might help alittle but will not stop a cp4 from grenading.We all know the reason why chevy, Ram,Ford went back to the Cp3 pumps due to they last and issue free.. 

  6. I stay pretty up to date on all the diesel forums and you really cant go wrong with the 3 to choose from..  If you went brand new.. Seems like they all fixed a big issue that all 3 had going and that was the cp4 fuel pump..  If your choosing to buy a couple years old you will need to do your home work due to the famous cp4 issues..  I would not buy a diesel with a cp4.   Its just a ticking time bomb that will eventually be a 8k dollar repair..  My vote would be the  the 4 gen rams..  Thats if you wanted a proven truck without any big issues..  The best option would be the 06 lbz durmax but its tough to find a low mile truck with out all the paint flaking off.. Any of the 3 diesels that have DPF systems will sooner or later be a issue..  Seems like im always reading on all the forums thats a main issue that these trucks have.. Sooner or later the dpf system will go out and its going to cost and it dosnt matter what brand you have..

  7. Selling this honda 250ex with the sport clutch.. Very popular model due to you can shift with a clutch or with out.. Very easy for young kids to drive.. Has nerf bars that I believe should be mandatory for kids... Comes with paddles and stock dirt tires.. Overall condition is good. has some boot marks and a few scratches. Starts right up and has been issue free..
