Thanks to DaveP

[Eggr]

As some of you may know, my son George and I recently purchased a Syclone. Although I have been a car guy all of my life (57 years) I have never owned anything like this Syclone. Soon after we bought it, I saw an article online talking about a gathering of SyTys at the Carlisle Truck Nationals. We thought it would be fun to go out to Carlisle and learn as much as we could. When we got there, all of the SyTy guys treated us like we belonged there. It was a great experience. While there, we asked around about a mechanic in the Southern California area who would be willing to work on our truck. The name that kept coming up was DaveP. I was warned that I might have a hard time getting to him but we were told he knew his stuff. So I started reading his posts here and realized just how knowledgeable he really is. I eventually got in touch with Dave and he agreed to look at out truck. We talked about how George and I wanted to keep the truck pretty stock. We left our Syclone with Dave. He's had the truck on two different occasions. I can't tell you how much work he did on the truck ( it includes replacing the motor mounts). We just got it back the other day. The truck is spotless. It runs great and it's fast as Hell. If you haven't met DaveP, the guy is a genius. Not just about SyTys but he's also an NCRS judge. If you read this Dave, thank you. We are grateful.

Re: Thanks to DaveP

Welcome to the SyTy world. You had a good man helping you out with your truck. Dave does know these trucks inside and out.

He is a very intelligent man. And he really is what I would consider a expert in several areas. And a good friend.

These are a few guys on here that really know their stuff. And of those a couple I have met and also became friends with. Unfortunately due to living so far apart I don't get to see as often as I would like. But I know they would help me out if needed. As I hope they know I would do anything I could to help them. Although I am not quite as good at working on these trucks as they are. But I can do a lot of different things. I am not a expert at any.

Very cool.

There are not many people in the world that I would that stop whatever I am doing to help them out if they needed it. DaveP is one of those guys. I consider him one of my friends. Thank you Dave.

Re: Thanks to DaveP

Thank you George. Very humbling. I'm not done with your Sy yet. I need it back for one more week, probably after the first of the year. Then I'll be happy with it. I'll come through next week on the way back from Reno where I am right now. Had a delightful drive up this morning. Dry, but cold. Very little traffic, Super Duty eats miles without slowing down for altitude or grades. Jorge had better fast for the day, because he'll never live it down if he can't do the 20oz'r twice in a row.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

Re: Thanks to DaveP

Dave is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to these trucks, and he also helped us out on a good deal of info when my dad bought his '90 ZR-1 a few years ago.
