Soon to be new owner of a sweet ride

[-Shawn-]

  I have seen your trucks out on the road ocasionally. 

[Jdaddy]

I hope you did, we ride across TX allot doing lots of runs from the
east coast to CA, NV and WA state.
Been in LA for a few months pulling travel trailers for FEMA to the Hurricane victim's, were going up and down IN to LA.

[-Shawn-]

  Yep have seen a few of them pulling Fema trailers.    We make 20,000 miles a month so we have lots of chances to see them.

Remember on the Dodge, if it is chipped, BullyDog, ect....... get that chip out
before you carry it in for warranty work.  They are really cracking down on chippers.

The first thing they are asking us now when we call in is run time on the pcm as compared to run time on the ecm, they should be the same.  But actually we haven't had many people in our area need to chip up the trucks for the last couple of years, since cummins changed the injectors.  FYI

BTW if yall aren't getting 21 to 22 without a load and 18  while your pulling FEMA trailers, ya got a problem somewhere, normal pulls that is.  We have 6 companies in my area that we work on their trucks, they all avg. out that, even on the Kansas pull.  We have run into alot of real bad fuel lately after everyone got back from Kansas, 3k mile filters just clogged to hell and back, ruined a couple of pick up pumps, and that conversion ain't cheap on the non warrantied ones.  New pump sure is better though, 0 problems.

Be safe on the Road!

LOL, There is no way anyone is getting 21 - 22 I don't care who he is.
I have been doing it for many years I own a few trucks and have many Owner operators working for me/my company, different trucks, different mileage but no one is getting 21 - 22.
My Personal Dually which is maxed out  - I got superchips, K&N air intake, Banks system 5" pipe, Air bags, extra steering shocks and many other add ons and the truck computer shows me  23-24 when I'm dead head under 70mph.
First it is not true reading - you need to check the actual.
Second - there is no way anyone is driving over 300 miles less then 65-70 on  the HWY, lol

But anyway, we do get on the Fords when pulling heavy loads like 11,000 - 13,000 about 13-14 mpg which is very good.
Dead head about 18 (true reading ) I'm happy with it, lol
The Dodge is new to me and I don't have any chip on it YET but it gets about the same for the fuel mileage plus it only got 20,000 miles - still needs to break in.

I never had a problem with the service - Every time a driver is going to the dealer  he changes the setting on the chip back to STOCK and there is nothing they can do.
Heck, some trucks  have the SUPERCHIPS logo on each side of the truck and they can't void the warranty.
In our business - transport business they are many crocks and illegal people who carry items without the right insurance and DOT and MC numbers, they drive crappy trucks and trying to low ball prices to keep rolling.
Same people will tell stories  like - I have 600,000 miles on my truck and never had to do anything to it - RIGHT, same people drive 22 - 23 miles  on one gallon.
Anyway, we are out of the subject and its Shawn's time to smile and be a happy camper, he is getting his new boat in a few hours.

  Yep we are Headed out to pick it up as soon as the wife finishes getting ready.

Congratulations shawnrg33 your going to love that New "2U" Legend   

I wish the Corks were going to keep it,  right now they leave me in the hole shot and then to add pain to the event just keep pulling away with that ProXS and Legend hull.  Their next Legend is going to have a 250 hanging off the back and I'll have to take off on Saturdays to fish against them on Sunday.  I've got no other way to get to the holes 1st   




Sure hope you enjoy it and you all have a safe trip.

Where is Shawn??, where are them pictures???, I bet you he went straight to the lake.
If you see a guy running 75 mph in a red/black Legend  somewhere in TX with a B I G smile on his face tell him to dock it and get on-line.

[Mike Noble]

Talked to Laurie...they were having something to eat about 4:00 p.m.  Shawn probably won't get to put it on the water until tomorrow.

[-Shawn-]

  She is here!!!! The pics don't do this boat justice!!!!    We did put her on the water and I rode with Laurie.      .
  That girl can drive a boat!!!!!   

  We had a little mix up at first...... We both went to different Bass Pros in the dallas area, and to top that off we both forgot each others cell numbers.      Once we got ahold of each other all went well.  I could never say enough good things about Mike and Laurie!!!! I have had alot of problems while we put this deal together, Way more issues than they ever should have had to deal with, and stuck with me thrugh the whole thing.....  I couldn't have asked for Better people to deal with. Laurie has some good pics to post later too!!!    I am extremely impressed with the boat, but I am even happier getting to meet Mike and Laurie two of the best folks you could ever meet. 

  Ok I will stop rambling now and get out and start loading the Legend!!! 

[Lee Smith]

Very Glad you got her, it is definately a sweet ride!

Congrats

[Bassinkorea]

Excellent Shawn, I'm real happy for you, you'll have to take me out in her next year when my wife and I come over there to see ya 

[-Shawn-]

  Steve she will be topped of and ready to go!!!!

[BassBUFF]

Congrats Shawnrg33! Look forward to seeing you on the Bend in March!

[Bassinkorea]

Hopefully (work permitting) I will be there to 

[Jdaddy]

Wow  she looks great and even better  behind the black Dodge, lol.
great pictures man, I'm happy for you.
I now feel what you felt yesterday, I finally bought  the Triton I wanted and i am on my way as we speak to go pick it up, I have 8 hours each way.
Kinda funny, you drive a black dodge dually and got a black boat, I drive a white dodge dually and got a white boat, ummm, just hope to be as lucky as you.

[ArizonaJeff]

Shawn, congrats. Next time you have a stop at Ft. Huachuca, you need to figure a way to pull it behind, and we can hit the local waters.
