Ugly duckling previous owner.

Hi guys , You can flame me , call me an ass what ever. I am so happy I sold my Ty to NJTY to have repaired. I bought that Ty in 1998 with 39000 miles on it and what a rocket it was .. I loved the thing beyond any vehicle I have ever owned. I bought a Silverado SS and like it a lot but it just doesnt have the spunk the Ty had. Power management and all that shit. I am just calling to tell you that I loved that truck but didnt have the resources that NJTY has to do anything. I refered to this web site to get help when I needed it and you guys usually helped. { except for the ass holes.|} I often wondered if the original owner was a drug dealer or something and had it repoded. It had a pretty narly alarm system in it and all the makings of a kicken stereo. Now after seeing NJTYs pics I am am wonmdering what the hell was I driving. I do know that there was a Kenne Bell filter charger in there that shouldnt have been and screwed up the AC. But all these other things are weird. The funny thing is I had to fix the Kenne Bell because it was sucking in unfiltered air when I bought it. Oh well. That truck got me to work all these years with out a hitch. Exceptr when the electric fans imploded my battery. Took them out. I did have all the papers and books for the TY and wanted to do something to it but this was the best. I wish they still made Typhoons I would have bought one instead of the SSS,.. No regrets though. You guys shouldnt flame the SS because they are slow. They really are not. For a 5500 lbs truck it is pretty fucking quick. Some have put super chargers on them and made all the difference. I will not though. I just want top get to work. I could have bought a lightning for cheaper but 2 wheel drive and constant blown trannys doesnt do it for me. Besides I hate fords!!! When ever someone asks me hows the truck I always reply "Not as quick as the Ty but its a strong fucking Truck" I will never race a Ty or Sy in this truck but I will give the thumbs up. My Ty didnt have ONSTAR , XM radio , Heated seats , Cell phone, True performance handling, dual climate , 6 CD in dash , Bose sound system, decent cup holders fornt and rear, Stainless exaust stock, tows 7800 lbs, and the tranny will last forever with 345 HP and a dissappointing 380 lbs ft torque. Curtisy of power mangement. By the way thats why the are not quick. Just in case you were wondering. It is impossible to beat on these trucks without changes. Thanks for listening and remember keep an EYE on your Mechanic. Does he really know what the fuck he is doing?????? Luthier_1

Well the more Ty's I can get, I will buy them. I love these trucks, and I cant wait to get a Syclone. I prefer to buy them in a bad shape, and then do things the right way.

Hey Kevin,

Hows it going? You worry about the flaming too much :lol:

The truck is getting better day by day, so relax, sit back and enjoy the SS.

:oops: I couldnt ask you what the selling price is??. No never mind. Let the next owner of Ty# 2008 Enjoy it. Sounds like someone already bought it. I will be on the look out. This time it wont be a daily driver.


BTW sorry I was hung over when I sold it to you..... LOL :lol:
