An email to Trucks! on Spike

SUBJECT: Real trucks don't have spark plugs!

Trucks crew,

I'm personally sick and tired of the same old same old "truck build ups". I have yet to see any real trucks on your show. I understand the diesel market isn't much for "retro trucks". However, I have yet to see any quality diesel based truck build ups. Yeah yeah yeah, you guys dynoed a bully dog truck. Big deal, you did not do any real work on that truck. The diesel community called every aspect of that show "bull".

What I want to see (and more then one show a season) is you folks attempt to build a Diesel drag truck or a diesel sledpulling truck. I want to see a stock truck and the end result being something that can run a 10 second 1/4 or a truck run with the big dogs on the dirt track.

That new S10 you guys are building... 600 hp? HA HA HA HA HA, that's it? It's be done before. Who Cares! Tho, since the previous version of that truck was slower then a caviler, I'm not surprised at that 600hp. I'm sure your 13 second truck will be fun.

Come one guys, Stacey never did much with diesel either, however he was 10 times better. Show me something to change my mind. In the mean time, I'm going to change the channel.

I send this to info@truckstv.com. See what happens.

Yeah, it's a little un-professional but it gets the point across.
