Goz, please refrain from name calling. It not very becoming of you. I don't want to see this fine informative forum to turn into what so many other Internet forums turn into.
Thanks

Because you've been here so often...
Paul, I've been here for quite a while reading and learning. This forum is no different then the millions of other forums on the internet, there are members that like to think that this forum is their bully pulpit and their opinion is the only one that counts. Then there's those members who rarely post but absorb every bit of information they can find. Then there are members that have to post just to hear themselves talk and most of what they post serves just that purpose.
Last time I checked, you don't own nor run this website, which makes you no more important then any other member. I can tell by your posts that you really think a lot of yourself and your self importance. I just have a much different opinion towards you.
I'll check back when I have a couple of thousand more posts and maybe I can be a Big Shot like you.

Unlike you, Paul has spent years offering help, continual support and good will. His vast knowledge and resources, have constantly improved the skills of our forum members. His prominence in our forum is manifested by his ability to HELP others, and his willingness to do so unselfishly for many years.
With your unabashed attitude, you will never become a "Big Shot" for any reason, other than denigrating other people. You can only become important when you are able to help people, and that's not accomplished by ridicule. Grow up before you check back. You're giving the Irish a bad name.

I can not believe I have been away for a few days and this is just getting better....lmaoBack to the speed demon, my 07 Dodge Ram 3500 c/c truck with a CM HAULER bed (8800lbs) has tons of extras in the performance side of things and has the speed limiter raised to 120 and this truck will do every bit of it with easy. But I no way in hell will do it with a trailer much less a horse trailer loaded with horses. I like my equipment and horses much better than that!!! And the reason I know about the 120 mph is I wanted to check it out after I installed all of my toys, plus I was on a long stretch of highway in Kansas late in the afternoon with NO traffic and only about a mile then back to normal again....

Just because a truck is supposed to be rated to do something (such as a 1 ton truck pulling a load at excessive speed, or a smaller Tacoma truck towing a horse large trailer that may be at what the manufacturer says it is rated to tow) does not mean it is safe. While the new guy took a rather odd approach, I think that may be his point. How often do we hear someone say "My 1/2 ton pulls JUST FINE", when others cringe at the thought of their large trailer heading down the road behind it? Its easier to see the error of an excessive speed, but some don't always see the error in not enough truck for the load until things go wrong.

I have respect for you Irish Wake, for owning up to a mistake and apologizing. Paul and Gard are both exceptionally knowledgable contributors to this forum and I learn so much from both of them. If only rfrank had as much class as you and just apologized but I guess that just isn't the case.Happy Trails!

first Gard and Paul do not let him get to you, I still dont get it were dose it say he is 12 ?? Hogtownboos what was it like to go that fast :)
Actually a lot smoother than driving 80mph... But still a 1 time deal just to see if the added parts was up to par, plus never hurts to open one up and blow it out ever once in a while........ Still would sure NEVER try it with a trailer, much less a horse trailer loaded!
