Yes , I do have a heavy duty pair , but that was not what I had with me , learned my lesson , no big ones ------ they are good about replacing their stuff , this is the second time with them for me , just seen the e-mail and the warranty replacement is on the way , they said 4 to 6 weeks , last time it took about 2 weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Just a note .... I looked up that pic from the old forums, and word is... Anything made by fiskars has a warranty .....now how long it's covered ? I don't know.... .... Them bad boys up there, well i have pushed the limits on those... Cut a three inch diameter cured osage orange, (down south) called bodock, bodark, or hedge apple tree... By far the best firewood i have ever used... Burns slow and super hot and when it's gets going... Purdy clean... It's the only wood I've used that will turn that stainless exhaust stack orange in the dead of winter...That's why i named the hardy fire breathing dragon .... Lol! According to the Janka Hardness Scale, the hardness of Osage orange is 11,640 N while the hardness of ash and hickory is only 7, 000 N.

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted January 18, 2023 @_Wilson_™. If you ever need warranty on any of your Friskar stuff. You don’t have to use the phone number listed above ^^^^^^. They have a internet page for warranty claims. It is very easy. They don’t even ask much info. Shipping address and a pic of the broken product. They never even asked where or when I bought it. I am very pleased with their warranty service. I have broke two so far. But you know as well as I. I over done it’s limits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted January 18, 2023 Thanks! I have a couple small chips in the blade on mine.... But if you price just the blade your looking at $20-$30 range.... I don't guess i could just the blade alone ? Being I've got used to these (battle scared) I'd like to keep them...who knows what updates they MIGHT do ? What I'm getting at is, we all know the deference in say the new craftsman tools of years back compared to what they put out now which in my book is junk.... I don't n see fiskars dropping in quality..... But then again ... Like to have all the bases covered i can... So I'll be looking into just the blade alone... Although ... I have edged this one up good... You can shave by it, it's just those small chips... They never saw wire rocks or anything thing else that could have caused the damage... My guess would be limbing osage orange trees is what did the damage...i didn't cut these suckers any slack at all.... Lol! Same wi those axes... However...... Lol! I think fiskars went a tad sharp on those edges.... I still wonder how come you and i have fingers left .... Lol! What's really funny is we both almost became one digit short at just about the same time.... Haha! Thank goodness for super glue ....... I'll have to dig that pic up...wtf does a axe need to be that freaking razor sharp for anyways !? I saw one video of a guy who used his to field dress a deer....I'm not joking....had to be some nut from tenn.... To think of that.... Sigh... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep , the way things are made cheaper these days , the one they give you as a replacement might not be as good as what you had ,,,,, that looper I just had them replace on warranty has a spot on the blade where it doesn't cut thru clean , maybe they use to use German steel and their steel now is from Cha'eye'na Crap 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted January 18, 2023 Here's one after math video..... So he didnt get free and clear right off.....can't really make out how be his right for arm was burnt but looks to be 2nd degree.... Them two goes were lucky even being in the cab... They were lucky..... I mean really !? A transfer case explossion ?! .... He mentions something about the shifter as well.... And he knows ... Noticed he spoke of her choking on too much nitrous.... You could see it choke in the video.. Then dud on dyno let up.. And off she went... I hate to see one explode like that, but pushing 3000 horse power ..... From such a small plant ?? its going to happen....ha! ! Bet yeah the engine ford and gm/chevy use wouldn't handle the pressure that bad ! 6.7 cummins did.....

_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Yeah! ..... And nitrous injected..... That's a 1st for me... Never heard of nitrous being used in a diesel much less one thats been built... Man things sure have changed over the years.... I can recall when a hsving a turbo was big news... On farm diesels .. And now mulitpul turbos forsed induction and nitrous ?! ..... (Makes one want to grunt like tim the tool man taylor) What's next hydrogen .... !! There already water injected.... Lol! It's funny when you'd think about it....

_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted January 18, 2023 I believe this is before the maasive sneeze..... That Shawn fellah seems like a good guy, just having a street of bad luck wit h that monster... Out of all of t hem I've seen.... This one and that dodge challenger with cummins and Detroit forced induction are a couple of my faves... Id like to see what that cummins in that dodge challenger would pull on the dyno.... I'm becoming more and more a 6.7 but the 5 .9 has been a great engine in our dodge one ton... Just glad it has the big inline pump and not the 1st edition rotary pump. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted January 18, 2023 What’s The Difference Between The 5.9 And 6.7 Cummins? DODGE RAM CUMMINS Written By: ProSource Diesel Five Main Differences Between The 5.9 And 6.7 Cummins Diesel Engine Expectations for the 6.7 Cummins Diesel were high. It was next in line following in the footsteps of the very popular 5.9 Cummins, which was known for its high mileage and durability. Along with its reputation for solid performance, the 5.9 also had a wide range of aftermarket support. With the 5.9 being such a popular engine for Dodge Ram diesel trucks, people were hoping the 6.7 would be even greater. The 6.7 Cummins first came on the scene in 2007. When it arrived, it brought over 40 percent of the 5.9 Cummins engine’s internal parts with it. So far, things were looking good. But would the 6.7 Cummins be able to stand up against its 5.9 predecessor? We’ll break down the main differences between the 5.9 and 6.7 engines Emissions Control One of the primary features of the 6.7 Cummins was that it came equipped with a full range of emission control parts. Most of these parts were unique to the 6.7 engine, including an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system, a DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst), and a DPF (diesel particulate filter). Beginning in 2013, an SCR (selective catalytic reduction) became standard in 6.7L engines. The 6.7 came out during stricter emissions requirements from the EPA, restrictions that weren’t in place when the 5.9 Cummins was made. The restrictions had an impact on the 6.7 engine’s performance as well. Parts like the EGR prevents the engine from reaching hotter combustion temperatures, so the fuel doesn’t burn as completely in the 6.7. This produces more NOx (Nitrogen Oxide), which causes excessive carbon buildup that lowers the quality of your engine oil and coolant. The 5.9 engine did not have an EGR, and the lack of an EGR probably helped it maintain its reputation for durability at high mileage. Low-End Torque Compared to the 5.9, the 6.7 Cummins offers more torque at low RPM. This is thanks to the 6.7’s increased stroke: 4.88 inches vs the 5.9 Cummins’ 4.72 inches. Trucks with better low-end torque have greater towing capabilities, so this is a clear benefit for the 6.7 Cummins. This comes with drawbacks as well –it also causes more cylinder pressure, which can cause head gasket failure. Head gasket failure is a common issue with the 6.7 Cummins, while the 5.9 Cummins head gaskets rarely had such a problem. If you regularly use a 6.7 Cummins for towing, you’re more likely to have head gasket issues by the time your truck hits 200,000 miles. An engine modified with performance upgrades will have these problems even sooner. Head gasket problems can also be exacerbated by the 6.7 Cummins’ reduced sealing space between its water jackets and cylinders. Fixed Geometry Turbo Vs. Variable Geometry The 6.7 Cummins features a variable geometry turbo, which is different from the fixed geometry turbo on the 5.9. The fixed geometry turbo is a simple system, which consists of a 58mm compressor wheel, an internal wastegate, and a 58mm turbine wheel. This system had a reputation for being durable and long-lasting. The turbo’s fixed geometry design resulted in low RPM turbo lag. Unlike the fixed geometry turbo, the 6.7 Cummins turbo system doesn’t have a wastegate, but it does have a 60mm compressor wheel. The system responds faster at lower speeds since the exhaust flow varies over the system’s turbine wheel. That means you won’t get any turbo lag, but the system still performs at a high RPM comparable to a bigger turbo unit. Simply put, the 5.9 fixed geometry turbo is more reliable, but the more advanced design of the 6.7 variable geometry turbo will give you better performance. Exhaust (Turbo) Brake Another feature that boosts the towing capabilities of the 6.7 Cummins is its exhaust brake. This device causes significant backpressure of the truck’s exhaust system to slow its engine speed and provide extra braking. A sticking turbo is also a common issue with Cummins engines which the exhaust brake helps alleviate. Thanks to its variable geometry design, the 6.7 turbo has excellent braking capabilities. This helps save your Dodge truck a lot of wear and tear. Towing capacity is only part of a truck’s towing capabilities. A truck needs to have total control of its extra weight, so stopping the large load is important as well. Because of its aggressive exhaust braking abilities, the 6.7 Cummins-powered Rams are some of the greatest tow trucks on the market. High-Pressure Injectors Both the 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins engines use a high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system created by Bosch. The difference between these systems is that the injectors in the 6.7 Cummins have been specifically designed to handle high pressures and operate at a lower voltage. With higher-pressure injectors, you’re capable of generating more torque and more power. This is because the 6.7 engine’s higher pressure injectors force fuel into your engine to help you reach your maximum power faster. You can swap cylinders on the 5.9 Cummins, but the 6.7 has been programmed so that you can’t switch into different cylinders. Recap If you’re looking for higher performance, then the 6.7 Cummins offers better performance over the 5.9 Cummins in almost every category. The 6.7 also had the added benefit of being less harmful to the environment. However, the simplicity of the 5.9 Cummins means that even if it doesn’t perform as well, it still has unbeatable reliability, including at high mileage. We’ve tried giving you a thorough understanding of the main differences between the 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins engines. You might want the newer technology, or you might want to stick with an older, but reliable engine. Whatever choice you make for your engine, ProSource Diesel will carry the diesel truck parts you need. We’ll help you maximize the performance and longevity of any Dodge Ram truck with the highest quality Cummins parts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
