Big Foot, leprechauns, Loch Ness Monster, Direct Drive Ford Transit

[FB19087]

One of these things DOES exist:

 

[Chris A]

Sonofabitch!

 

[Chris A]

I gotta say I'm really surprised that Hydramaster is the first

 

[Russ T.]

Nice!

The others CAN'T be far behind, I hope.

 

[Scott S.]

why develope two differant van types when you can just wait and see what the other company did. and copy it.

 

[ruff]

Flawed list.
The only one that really exists is

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I knew Fred would catch that!

It's cool to be 1st, and let others follow.

If Larry Cobb had knowledge of this development he did a good job keeping mum.

 

[mirf]

How far behind do you think they are? Chevy vans sure are starting to look dated

 

[Zee]

Other than the picture showing a Transit with hoses coming out of it...is there anything else we know about this? Is it really a direct drive? Is it a diesel Transit?

 

[Cleantechsk]

Oh interesting! !!!
Hopefully avaliable on the 3.5 ecoboost

 

[Zee]

Cue in Butler and Sapphire opening up the back door to the secret garage where they lay out their direct drives all over the floor:

"It is a last minute shine up on the parts...we've been testing these units for 6 years of course... Long before Hydramaster even started..."

 

[Zee]

BREAKING NEWS :

Just got word from Lawrence De Cobb, that this Transit does not actually exist. But if it does then there is a Dynachem improvement for it because Hydramaster definitely didn't do it right.

 

[Zee]

UPDATE: a very recent development....

Sorry Cobb...too easy..

 

[Larry Cobb]

Our slide-ins outlast 2 or 3 vans consistently.

Only PTO's we've built . . . were "transmission PTOs"

Steve Brandt & I were good friends at HydraMaster.

I enjoyed Doyle's presentation last night.

P.S. I was ordering Transit fuel system parts this morning.
Metric parts with fractional 6.3 mm dimensions

 

[Zee]

I'm just trolling Larry... I was giving an extra 3 minutes dwell time to the Powermax while I made that picture.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I hear crow tastes like shhicken.???

What happened?

 

[Nate The Great]

Sonofabitch!

LMK when your selling the SS.........

 

[John Olson]

Wow you guys just realizing this? We sold 2 already...

 

[CanadianRuss]

Nice!

The others CAN'T be far behind, I hope.

I would love to have a Cleanco in a transit.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Connecting the dots, I'm guessing Sapphire's recent adoption of HM's front end kit portends future collaboration on the next generation vans.

 

[doylebloss]

Thought I might have caught Fred tuning into Survivor and not catching that but alas..
Stay tuned.

 

[doylebloss]

Steve Brandt and Larry Cobb do go way back, as do Larry and I. Not sure when folks are going to figure out you can be competitors and be friends also. Some of my favorite people work at other companies (as well as mine). To stay in this industry for as long time as I have and keep your sanity you had better not take competition too personal.

 

[dealtimeman]

So friend,

When a Are the details of this new hydramaster CDs going to come out?

 

[jcooper]

Why would HM want to give(or sell) info away like that?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Why would HM want to give(or sell) info away like that?

Economy of scale, plus the reason they are selling the current kits to Sapphire.

 

[Mikey P]

fyi, another CDS manufacturer has had two units in beta mode on the road for close to a year now.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I KNEW Cobb would figure it out. World Domination can't be too far now.
