Hi all,

He just happens to be a hoppen' frog's distance from me.
I copied my response below;

Welcome to the site! We're glad you're here-
Hey Cudakid53,
That was a fast PM! So I have followed Don's posts on Dmax forum and then followed over here days after it was up.
I had to follow the Square D build and of course Combat Max.
Now I feel guilty for not signing up sooner.
I may be able to contribute a little here and there with some different thoughts and suggestions.......
Do I have to take a DOT test? LOL.
So, I'll try to behave on this site and not DOT the place up to much!

I heard that!
The man said...Try not to DOT the place up, because DOT'in the place up is a bad thing and only bad people would do such a thing and mess up what Don's tryin' to do here"
Pretty much a direct quote! ;)
Welcome to our site!

Welcome FL and future private DOT .lol

Hey Ken, which one of you is in charge of the DOTs?
Worked out the DSQP?
(DOT Selection and qualification process)
-
Nate seems to have the most experience with insubordinates, so if this were a DOT election, he would get my vote.
Then there's YOU, captain....colonel....chief...General....major.... and lieutenant DOT.
...all of those, in no apparent order.

Welcome!

Welcome, If there is anything we can assist with on the site please let one of us staff know.
-
Welcome to the best kept secret on the web! Look forward to your pithy comments and occasional DOT...
-
Welcome. You will be tested as a DOT, but there is no DOT test.
Think of it like the old arguing with idiots idea. When you argue, no one can tell who is who anymore.
-
Good to have you. DOT'n comes natural to most, is difficult for others and is darn right magical for Bobby Ken, RN and JR. You'll get the hang of it.

Well it looks like y'all is Dottin' my intro post up pretty well, lol. What did I start! ??
Anywho, thanks for the welcome.
I believe I can offer some good advise and engineering opinions/ options here as well as a few engineering and simple part fabrication to those interested.
I am a businesses owner of 23 years with 28 years or so within my industry. I understand manufacturing and have many resources that I may be able to share for the benefit of others here. Let me be clear, I am NOT here to solicit any kind of service for profit.
If I can help someone on a project that I feel I have an experience with, I may or may not (lol), want to offer options and or opinions on how to make it more complicated than necessary and further delay any of that projects completion. ;D
Oh, and please don't take my sarcasm the wrong way, it's sarcastic. ;D
Fair warning to all....

Well, a little more about me….
This most recent truck thing came about when I got my 2012 Duramax Denali new.
I wanted to learn as much as I could about all the new emission garbage that this truck had. That led me to the Dmax forum and then here. I don’t really ever go there now as I have most of my questions answered. So I migrated here and I like the vibes of all you knuckle heads as well as this seems to be way more family orientated, with just plain ole down to earth people.
I’m into rifles and pistols, but nothing tactical. Maybe 20 or so total including vintage war rifles and some shot guns.
I have late 60’s and early 70’s muscle cars. My collection is now down to 4 rare Pontiac’s, 1 Olds and a Kia, er, I mean a Nissan Twin Turbo.
I owned at least 40+ vehicles of all types through out the years. My first and perhaps one of my very favorite was a 1953 Willys CJ-3A. I had it at my folk’s ranch in Wyoming as my summer get around vehicle when I was growing up and that thing would go just about anywhere I pointed it in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountain range. Sure miss that Jeep!
I maintain all the vehicles that I have except for the Dmax, I still take that to the dealer with the warranty concerns and all, but I know how to wrench and have most all the tools I need.
Lastly, you may or may not be interested in what I do for a living. I own a precision flat lapping and fine grinding job shop. It pays the bills. If interested in details my web address is www.lapping.com (I hope it’s okay to post that link in here).
Sorry for the long winded Bio, but Big D seems a wee bit concerned that I may be trouble here and I wish to quell those fears by ‘putting it out there’ as to who I am and perhaps what my intentions are. I am not a trouble maker. I may instigate a bit though!

FL, I live off Shoe Factory Rd! :)
Since he's not a troublemaker we'll have to watch him close- he might be from the Gobernment!
-
I gots me one of those CJ-3a's, a '50. Love that little dude.

Yep a Frogs hop or 2. Stop by if in Elgin.
It is a small world now.

We had a well used but not rusty 48 MB-2 IIRC, at the 'wyo ranch' too, but the brakes were shot and at that time "it wasn't worth fixing"so it sat in a shed for many years and then it was gone. Oh well, too young to it buy anyway at that time
You fixed what you had to and not much more on our ranch. That's just how it seemed to me growing up there.
My non flatlander years.....
