MDS question

[Brandon-w]

I'm an RV tech, so at an RV dealer.
We're a chain of dealers though in BC/Alberta so there's also a Dodge, Ford, and Subaru dealership in the company.

Oh sounds like a go auto kinda deal. I worked there for a season when one of the chains up here did powersports. Got my Polaris tech certification so I was happy with that.

Sort of. My cousin was a tech at a Ford dealership when they got bought by GoAuto. He hated working for them so much he moved to BC and couldn't get away fast enough.
I'd say we're probably closer in size to Cam Clark if you're familiar with them.
Where's "up here"?

I think I've heard of them. Yes go auto, RUN! Run like hell. Worst company I've ever worked for. Day in day out we were never sure if there would be a job for us or not and poorly ran. They tried to run it like a dealership and it didn't work considering they had no idea how the powersports industry was run.
Up here is peace river Alberta. For a few more weeks anyways. Lol

Small world, my cousin was working for Peace River Ford when they got bought, but at the Falher lot. Got lots of family up around there.

It was, the world just keeps getting smaller!

What are the odds eh?
Funny thing is, I work way down by Red Deer and we just hired this sales person who used to work with Dale at PR Ford! Everyone knows Dale and he doesn't even live here anymore, crazy.

He's famous! Atleast Instagram famous with his board videos. Funniest guy I've met though. Been years since I talked to him.

 

[RVGuy]

I don't think I've talked to him since he moved west. He was the best man at my wedding, but we've kind of fallen apart since then. Gone different directions since we were both little kids but sure made a ton of memories hanging out with him!

these threads always amaze me as to the false info so many people lay out there, and often contradict themselves while doing so. This anti-MDS just shows one how unknowledgeable le people can make such incorrect assumptions on things and then pretend to be some kind of authority on the subject. Glad they do not drive our tanks, launch our missiles, fly our planes, or g anything important for this nation and its people.

Sorry, I cannot get take anyone seriously with a name like yours:
Bobble on Ben

I tried.
'I did. But the mental Image just makes me giggle like a teenager.
Even the Wife snickered when she came in asked what was making me laugh so hard.
She tried to be mad, at me, but even that Sunday School Teaching, Old Lady could not repress a snort.

Do not bother to reply. You have earned a Lifetime Placement on my personal "Ignore this Dumbarse" list. SO, I will never again have to read your drivel or even see it, in the reply of others.


Curiously enough, I noticed lots of the Names, on my List, are now Banned.


Ps Ps
Anyone notice how many of these type we are getting around now that the OTHER main Ram Forum has changed up its interface?

Coincidence?

Yeah I think the other forum changed their "look" from just OK to worse and even harder to navigate than before. One of the biggest things I love about this forum is how you can click on a thread and it will take you right back to where you left off from. The black and gold color scheme is great too as its easy on the eyes. Hopefully the mods will leave it as is for the forseeable future and for GOD's sake don't use white for anything but the words.

In my case poor maintenance not the culprit. I changed with correct weight pup oil every 3500 miles all my maintenance on every vehicle I’ve owned performed well before recommended schedule. I am a 50 year automotive engineer. At 138K experienced cam lobes flat spotting. My 40+ mechanic said my engine the cleanest he had every seen. I’m **** so I replaced lifters, cam, push rods, timing assembly, machined heads, upgraded valve seats and springs.

And that is NOT an MDS related event.

Again not an MDS related event. Not to say it seems some series f motor have flat spotting cam problem though.

 

[boblonben]

They get CAFE credits for having a cylinder shutoff system so in that sense it serves a purpose whether it works/can be shut off or not.

Nope, they get credit ONLY went thru testing it is PROVEN the system does provide greater mileage gains. Or they 'buy' credit from elsewhere toward their product.

 

[boblonben]

Thanks for the clarification.

Then it is a gimmick and EPA work around without regard to long term engine viability.

Makes more sense to me now.

Appreciate the insight

NOPE, not true.

 

[turboguard]

I love the MDS, even with a Carven Comp exhaust I can barely tell its activating, and saving me some gas.
This video pretty much explains the lifter issue: I'm just hoping my 2019 Classic doesn't have those crappy budget lifters in it!

Interesting to see someone who plays with words rather than discuss the subject at hand. 'handles' btw are NOT names. Glad you were amused though. You're still NOT listening to the real subject and discussion. It is always easier to blame that which appears the most and easiest to attack rather than do any real look at or discuss an real subject. Enjoy.

NOPE, not true.

Thanks for your opinion. Obviously you should be aware, I'm ignoring your opinion as I don't think you have a clue about what you are talking about.

I'll do me, you do you.

I'm running non MDS, my truck my rules.
