Nc hauler and ricatic

[aarondeere]

I've been off this forum for quite some time due to work and just life in general. Still have the combo in my sig and still camping with the family and all that. Used to see nc hauler and ricatic on this forum. They were quite active. Anyone know what happened to them. Don't see any recent posts from them. Just curious. Thanks.

That's the trouble with us retired folks, father time catches up with us. As for Ricatic I can understand having issues with Ford. I went through something similar with GM after being a many generations GM owner. Regardless of what brand if you have a bad experience (or several) with a brand your not going to be enamored with their products.

I had my own theories about ricatic at the time. He altered his truck/fuel system (I won’t get into it), then Ford denied his warranty.

No matter how you view his situation, his crusade trying to divert anyone from buying a Ford became extremely tiresome.

Same here , talked about meeting in Montana . He also became pretty acquainted with mowermech , I believe that's his name on there . He lives in Montana . Unfortunately he became ill, and those plans never came about .

Yup, we had discussed getting together.. then He had his stroke, then his wife had hip issues and things calmed down a bit then he passed.. ... what a shame... he was a great guy...

NC also had a mud slide destroy a new toy hauler that he had just bought to start traveling, and ended up with the MS the Ron talked about. Jim was a great guy and we PM'e a lot back and forth.

I was thinking of news___ as BenK mentioned that was getting ornry. Reality now that I've been reminded who ricatic is.....not positive. I have a way of looking it up. In a ferry line, once on ferry to cross Puget sound I'll like. Ask cars are loading

Yes that was Ric.

He and I used to get into some very boisterous debates over his Ford and my Chevy.
That ended when Ford did him wrong. I took no pleasure in that, and posted as much on the forum. As much as these spirited debates are entertaining, I have always realized that we are all subject to the policies that these huge corporations can impose on us... It makes little difference as to which brand we favor, we can all be crushed like a bug at any time.

Learned a ton reading those threads, as am not a diesel person. Fun for me to noodle stuff like that...design/inventive/physics

There was another guy who got tossed/banned from the forum..."news" something or other.

Lost his contact info, as we went off line discussing some potential patents that might have improved that CP4...

Had not hear about nc. I do recall posts etc he seemed like a good guy.

Wasn’t he the guy that the HPFP grenade on his 6.7 Powerstroke years ago ? Then went on a crusade against Ford , when they didn’t honor the warranty. I may have him mixed up with someone else .

Yep, that was him.

After that debacle, Ric and I became friends, even talking on the phone a few times. He ended up buying a used Chevy LBZ to replace his Ford. He is a good guy.
I haven't heard from him in quite a while. I hope he is doing well.

Did he get banned on here as blt2ski suggested . I know he was pretty adamant about going after ford anyway he could . Of course it was futile !!!!
