UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Now that my truck sold, if anyone is looking for a killer bumper for a third gen, I've got this that I just listed. If you're interested, hit me up for a "locals only" deal

 

I didnt either...prob should have entered.

Could use some of my gamestop money...

 

Dude! We need to pull together on the next one.

EDIT: the liquor lottery that is.

 

Same...

 

Who do you use to trade? There’s a big lawsuit being filed against Robinhood for stopping all trading on GME, NOK, and AMC.

 

i'm on etrade.

 

As there should be.

I was on RH till yesterday when I closed out GME. I started the transition to E-trade today. I forsee RH taking a massive beating in the court of public opinion if not legally in the very near future. This stock isn't an investment so much as its turned into a movement, and the vehicle (Robinhood) sided with "the enemy" in a lot of folks eyes.

 

Agreed. I used robinhood back early last year and got out of playing with stocks. Planning on going to fidetlity or etrade in the next month to get back into it.

Any specific reason you two went etrade over the others? @ginseng27

 

yeah. that lawsuit won't be the last. I mean, when you have people from both sides of congress agreeing on something, then you know it's an actual serious issue. hah! but yeah, RH is going to lose out in the long run.

I just happen to have an account with e-trade. and they've been a good platform to use. I also have a few other accounts on them from past company stock options so....yeah.

 

Who would be interested in an OV tune? I have a buddy coming out mid to end of March that does tunes and he said he can knock out a few tunes while he's out here. Let me know thanks dudes

 

What does it entail (as in physical and software requirements -- do I need to buy a dongle, a license, or something)? I've tried following that thread a few times and it's too long and not well managed. Also what's the cost? I have 4.88's as I think that matters.

 

He has the license and all that to make adjustments to the cpu. Takes about an hour and he can do different tunes for mpg, performance etc for whatever you want. He can work with whatever gearing you have as well. His most popular tune is with 33-35'' tires on stock gears. When I talked to him he said it was $300 for the tune if he can get a few people in on it.

 

Here's his website with info on the tune. Let me know if your interested and i'll get a list together and give it to him before buying to get the deal.

I am local (Farmington) and charge $200 for the 2.0 OV tune for 3rd gens and will also do TSB updates.

 

Hmmmm.... I’ll PM you next week when I get back. Been reading about it and people seem to like it. Drop in the bucket compared to my regear bill.

 

regear was best money I have spent.

 

I’m satisfied with my gears. But why does everyone rave about OV? Does it really add that much more? $200 is cheap enough to experiment I guess. It can be reversed?

 

Drivability is much better with the tune. I was one of the first beta testers for the 3.5L and know there is more power to be gained with the tune than what is currently in 2.0. They are promising another update with performance gains and gear lock. I run 5.29s and 35s as do a few of the 30 or so tunes I have done. We all prefer it but want more.

 

I can attest to the drivability. LOVED my ovtune. It was a bit pricey for me but DAMN it was worth every penny. The truck actually loves to stay in 5th and 6th gears. and I saw a marked improvement in fuel economy...and throttle response. so good.

 

Alright I’m gonna hit you up next week. I’m 4.88’s and on 33’s. I’m a little heavy for 4.88’s according to Nitro Gear so maybe there’s a good tune for me? I mean my truck still hauls ass...

Thanks for the info! You’re customer #1,000,000 with that review I guess I’ll have to do it.
