[coffee]Posting for meeting up and events[coffee]

2007 December 7th
7-9pm Hooters in Wayne
See Yall Soon
[25 Route 23, Wayne, NJ 07470 (Hooters)]

Hello, my first post and new to the diesel truck world. Had several diesel vehicles years ago but waiting for delivery of this one. Are any of the get togethers in South Jersey? Are there a lot of members from the South Jersey/Philadelphia region? Nice forum. Trying to learn what I can.

welcome to DTR MegaWonder, i am going to try to get some south jersey things going also. fill in your sig. and introduce yourself to the other jersey guys on the "NJ gtg continued" thread.

Hello. I am in SJ. About 15 min. west of Atlantic City. Were are you at? I haven't heard of any get togethers.

2007 December 7th
7-9pm Hooters in Wayne
See Yall Soon
[25 Route 23, Wayne, NJ 07470 (Hooters)]

Well keep checking this thread or the other one for some get togethers! Welcome to DTR and our lowly chapter.

Your dues are a keg of coffee for the conductor, that is all.

& it had better NOT be decaf ![director]

Thats right, we know how you get if its decaf.

I am in Mays Landing

Hey guys, just looking ahead to the warmer months and I have thought of a few possibilities for meet and greets statewide. The CT guys have a coffee night/bs session every Friday if I am not mistaken, so why can't we have something like that? Maybe not every week, but maybe twice a month or so. Here are some ideas I came up with:

1. Island Beach State Park

2. Cruise over to Hooters on 23 in Wayne for Bike Night on Tuesdays

3. Whiskey Cafe in Lyndhurst on Friday nights or Wednesdays (can't remember the exact days)

4. Wyckoff show on Wednesdays.

5. Riverdale Armory - this could be our weekly get together because it is a central location for most of the northern members of this chapter. It would also be easier to get to for those members who have new members of their own familes (Steve and Brian)

6. Setting up a cruise night to Island Dragway.

7. Hooters on 23 in Franklin Lakes.

8. I have gotten the approval to have a wrench day at my mom's office in Verona, so we could get that scheduled when it gets warmer to wrench.

I for one would be willing to travel around to meet a group of members, like say the boys from southern NJ. (Bryan,OneMoparNut,MegaWonder,Raf) if we could establish a central location. Of course, there is always Atlantic City for some poker and buffets, but I'm sure no one is into that.[whistle]

Anyhow, post up any feedback to this.

Sounds good, IN Bordentown,(would this be more centralized??) there's a Chick & Petes Rt. 206,, or Mastories famous Diner RT130,,or a new sports bar next to Mastories,, Its close to the Turnpike,,,RT..206,,etc.

Further South,,in Shamong Twp. you have Pic-a-Lili INN.ON RT 206.for some great Wings..Pretty old place VERY layed back and Rough. or Yet Further South
IN Hammonton you have the Silver Coin Diner Restaurant at Rt. 206 and Rt. 30?

Lots of places from the Turnpike..Exit 5 Burlington, (RT 541), Maybe a state park (Long Bridge park) with pavilion and grill, Exit 4,,Mt. Laurel/Maple Shade (RT73,RT38) I haven't traveled much on the Parkway and do not know whats out there. but thought might help the other Jersey folks with some ideas or suggestions. Anyone else?

Bordentown/Shamong area is only about an hour or so from me, so that is definetly do-able.

I am in Mays Landing


Is that your truck in the avatar? I live near Egg Harbor City. I run into Mays Landing once or twiice a week. I'm suprised I have not seen the truck around. I'll be looking out for you.

Here is my truck.

See you around,
Rich

great ideas Tom and Meagawonder lookes like it will be a great spring/summer:)

Can't forget the Diesel Nationals in September.....

And the Raceway park shows.....keith Eber's is Sat and it starts at 2pm....

Something else to think about:

If we got enough guys together with money up front, I think that we could rent out Extreme Diesel for the day and get our trucks on his dyno. I believe they are located in Lakewood (or Lakehurst, the Conductor and I were not sure) but this would be a great day for us to all get together and see what numbers we can hit. We will have to contact them to see what we would need.

im pretty sure its $500 for 6 hours...

sorry $750 for 6 hours

yea triple post.....so it would be $50 each for 15 people....

hopefully i can make it to Ebers but might be plowing$$$$$$$$$$$$:)
that sounds good $50

I think $50 is very reasonable for some pulls.

but we would have 6 hours......thats a lot of time i think. so we could get more people. I will find out what kinda time they need for booking it and this time people are pre-paying.

Absolutely. People need to prepay this time with the stipulation that once they pay, the money is non-refundable. I also agree about the time, but it will probably take a few minutes per truck to get it ready to roll, so 6 hours will probably fly by. Time flies when your having fun you know.

Anyway, to all those plowing today, be careful and make that almighty dollar.

Post up when and I will forward this over to TDR... We should be able to get some out of towners like last time.

You guys want to do another Hooters night next Friday 12/21?

sounds possible, I do not think I am gonna torture myself with the 911 sauce this time tho, man they poured it on heavy last time, too much to be enjoyable, but I ate em all. As for the dyno, even if we got ten people up front, thats only 75 bux each.

$75 works for me as well. Steve, could you find out if it is open to cars as well? I may have some friends of mine with Mustangs that would roll down.

Mike, we don't want another Friday of you sweating and putting those Coke's down like it is your job. How did you do with the white stuff?

white stuff miserry, worked 4 pm till 2 am, then back in at 7 am and worked till 2 pm.... only thre hours of Friday was clearing snow, the rest was fixing cleaning and fueling. how bout you ?

Had two carnages from Thursday: #1 - scratched the left side of my truck plowing the office on Route 23 due to these huge bamboo trees hanging into the parking lot. Will be going soon and cutting them down. #2 - my trusty salt spreader finally took a dump and broke. But hey, 15 saltings with a spreader meant for grass seeds is pretty good to me.

Okay, so we are on for next Friday at Hooters in Wayne at 8pm. Can someone post this over on TDR?

Okay, so we are on for next Friday at Hooters in Wayne at 8pm. Can someone post this over on TDR?

Yep!!!

Tom, do you have a half day on Friday???

No half day for me. [verymad]

Iiiiiiiiiiiiii'''''''''''''''''''mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Bbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

ha, look what the java script let in , how ya been brudda? how's the kids? Wife ?? Hoots fri nite is soundin good ! see ya'll there.

Everything going well, Maryanns probably won;t make it but i am going to try to be there..

Phil good to see you posting here again!! So whose showing up Friday?

guys didn't think we had plans but was reminded that we did, so might not make it. Dang it!!!!

Never know i may show up at some point, how late you usually there?

Not too long, but if you are going to show up, give one of us a call and we will hang out.

Bump up to the top - post up if you are attending tomorrow evening.

I will make it, not sure when, but not sure we listed a time? 8 ish like last time ??????? oh yeah, BUMP[director]

Yeah around 8 or so...

talked to Keith earlier, he may be late, he's got some major NYC traffic to deal with b4 he can make it to hoots......... I have a quad plow in my truck if anyone needs it, it was free to me so I am passin on the savings , electric lift.

If you guys don't have anything planned, tonight at 7:30 at the South Mountain Arena in West Orange is a charity hockey game for a friend of mine who passed away. Doors open around 6:30 and the game starts at 7:30. It is a fundraiser for two scholarships setup in his name for West Essex High School and Ramapo College. Alumni from both places come and play a regular hockey game. If you guys can make it, great. I understand if you cannot due to the last minute notice of this.

dang Tom, who was it that passed away, I is a grduiduate of wessex......... not sure gonna make it tho, lotta tough concrete bustin today/

Yeah he graduated from West Essex in 2002. He was a good friend of my g/f's and was killed in a car accident 3 years ago. His mom has setup these fundraisers in his memory.

Well, this one has sat long enough, how many folks want to seriously book a day at eXtreme diesel performance, for a dyno day, I would be willing to call them and talk about available dates, but I would like to get two days that would be good for as many as possible, giving XDP the chance at picking which is best for them as well. i will be asking them what all will be available as well, like installation of any parts on hand that mite be for sale. I would like to pick a day, early weekend in April, those of us getting a tax return should have it in hand by then, lord knows if they owe me money I am gettin it as fast as possible! Only thing that could kill this for me would be snow. Let me know what you all think, get in touch with as many friends as you can, other forums are welcome to tag along, and even other makes / motors.

I tried to call them on the 28th but the guy in charge off the dyno wasnt there. I was gunna wait till next week to be sure he was back, but maybe you will have better luck.

April would work for me as well, just not the last week as I will be down the shore preparing for summer season.

Okay, Sunday looks like a definite wrenching day. I just talked to Bryan and he is taking his plow off his truck this weekend as he is saying goodbye to it on Monday. And I have my air horns to install, so we have stuff to throw on. Is anyone planning on making it? I will probably be able to host it right on 23 in Verona. It is about 10 minutes south of Willowbrook Mall just in case anyone does not know where it is. I will post up a definite location as soon as I get the okay.

ha, I had to tackle front pads tonight, too bad the weekend could not come soon enough...... dam squeelers were makin me cookoo....... Love havin air tools when it comes to all thos friggin lug nuts, but I sure wish I knew what happened to my big c clamp, still haven't found it and that would have been the one thing that would have got me done in under 20 minutes. Not sure if the big brown truck is going to visit or not, I have a dispute filed against that seller on ebay with those "too good to be true" priced fender flares :(

To anyone watching this thread only: wrench day is Sunday 1/13 at 207 Pompton Avenue, Verona. It is a doctor's office across the street from 2 gas stations. If anyone needs directions, PM me. Should be a 10am start.

Anyone up for a Hooters night next Friday 2/1/08? We could do a 8pm start at the Hooters in Wayne, even though we could do Franklin if that would be more convenient for our members out there...(Angelo, Pat) Post up with any suggestions.

sounds good:) might be late nyc traffic:(

omg, keith lives.......... where ya been bro ? Hooters sounds good, either place is fine by me, wayne is killer close for me, but there are others......... Truck actually looked good for a few hours last Friday night, had it washed, and then it snowed :( oh well the inside is still good. man I am dyin for some warm weather , got some goodies to put on my truck, and a bigger air tank to put on tom's

My truck was clean over the weekend, but had some work done on it and now it has hand prints all over it.[verymad]

Keith, I hear you had a run in with my buddy on 23 one night. A black Mustang LX with black wheels ring a bell?

so when are we all going to hooters? It's been awhile for me.

Next Friday night, 2/1/08. The Conductor and I will probably be there around 8.

we just gotta decide between then and now, on which Hooters to go to, plenty of time to decide, but knowin who might be goin would make it a lot easier to make it work for more people.

yea black lx but he didnt want to go:( he make me sad
i think up north would be good for the northern crowd

Are any of our northerners planning on attending?

I actually plan on being there as of now. I never know what work will bring right on up till Friday though.
I already ran it by the significant other and she doesn't have school that night.

Keith I see you downgraded your wish list. What happened to that big ol' twin set? That would of been a problem to drive on rt. 23 at rush hour anyway.:)

Angelo, would it be better for you if we met up in Franklin or does it not matter to you?

Angelo, would it be better for you if we met up in Franklin or does it not matter to you?

What ever is easier for the majority of people planning to attend. My truck could use a good run to clean it out. Since the wife went back to school I've been like Mr. Mom running the kids around and the truck never gets up to temp.... I'm fine with Wayne

Ok sounds good Angelo. I guess we will have to play it by ear with who can show up. Do you have an idea as to when you are getting your twins in?

Wayne would make it possible for Keith too, he said he would be on his way from NYC to Hooters, Wayne is a good bit closer........ come on warmer weather, got toys to install ! to top that off, my coin jar is almost full, and I think that mite go towards tranny work!

I'll try to make it and hopefully I will have my truck back by then ......about ready to start sootin some insurance claim reps right now

Do you have an idea as to when you are getting your twins in?

My 62/14 is at MPI now and I should have the kit in the next week or two. As to when there installed is anyone's guess. I might be able to use a friends garage or I'll have to wait till it's warm.

Gary even if your not in your truck, still come on down if you can make it. So I guess Hooters in Wayne it is?

since no one else jumped up and asked for it anywhere else, I guess it will be Hooters, trying to give folks a chance at picking one a bit closer for them, but hey, I am sure they know where the one in wayne is......... I gotta remember, no more 911 just the three mile island sauce !

one big turbo for me:) less stuff to go wrong plus between stage intercooling a pain in the butt, well hope i can make it -- wayne right?

I guess Wayne is the spot, not unless at the last minute we decide to switch it to Franklin. Not sure about Pat, but looks like Angelo is attending. I posted this up on Cummins Forum and The Diesel Garage, so who knows what will show up.

So whose planning on attending?

not a lot of folks postin, but dangit that wont change the taste of the wings, or change the view............. I will be there, I'll have a home heating oil tank in the bed of my truck, but that won't stop me.

I think a couple guys from Cummins Forum may show up too.

Hey boys i think i will make it as long as work goes ok. Maryann probably come for the wings also, unless she likes looking at the honkers, which is cool.

Dying for some wings have not had some in a while.

Mike too bad the tank isn't full.

ha, yeah, tank like that and I mite be able to make Ncarolina and back on one tank....... good to hear you are going to make it, need to be talkin to some folks that know whats good for these motors......... thinking of some changes soon.

Anyone looking for an exhaust and intake for an '03-07? Not mine, posting for a friend. PM if interested.

Good to hear your coming down Phil. Would be nice to have a new face at Hooters. Gotta see the Conductor put those 911's down and then the aftermath. See you guys all tomorrow!

Well so far it still looks like I'm still gonna make it. The time is still set for 8 pm correct?
I just picked out the powder coat color for the twins. (silver vein) They should be shipped to me at the end of next week, so lets all wish for some warm weather!
Hope to see ya all tomorrow!

man the damp chill in the air just mite make Hooters a bit more interesting tonight.......... sure hope the hot sauce warms me up, this weather sux !

Looks like I have not been paying enough attention to this here thread. You guys had to go and have 2 different ones didn't ya[dummy]

I don't know that I will be able to make it down tonight, timewise might work ok, but I am on the tail end of getting over being sick and will do anything to avoid it coming back for another round [nonono]

Anybody want to go bowling in Sparta tomorrow?[roll]

BTW, Tom shoot me a PM regarding that exhaust. Big brother is looking for a change from the stacks

anyone lost along the way, call my cell. 201 954 2142.... we will be inside at a table, not hangin out in the freezin rain !

Well those were some killer boneless wings, and a good night out as well. I should have done it today, but most likely will disconnect the quad box tomorrow, I am getting a helluva rattle again and even tho there was no check engine light, I got a 191 code when I checked.... will see what a few days of driving without the box does to the code,a nd driving habbit of the motor. Man I tell ya, I am getting a bit tired of it, checked all the wires in the quad switch and they are good, ran the same withthe bypass installed, but that was just around the block. wonder if a smarty would act differently? I sure like the war weather today, need one on a weekend soon for another wrench day, maybe this time getting something done on my truck. Good to see some new faces out the other nite, as well as the usual bunch.

Yeah nice to see more than the usual crowd showed up the other night. Buddy Tom got his exhaust on and I believe is ordering his lift pretty soon. Should look pretty sweet.

I need to get a new air filter for my truck. Anyone know where I can get a cone style filter with a 4" opening? Friend suggested a BHAF, where do you get one of those? Also, I ordered an AFE Bladerunner intake manifold today, so I will have something to go on the truck on our next wrench day. Will probably have to do brakes on my truck as well. 82k and still on the stockers....

napa auto parts, 2790, or the 42790 that is the wix number.

Where is a Napa around here?

http://www.napaautocare.com/locator/StoreMap.aspx?sid=24955&selFacilityPos=6

I am in Moorestown New Jersey. Would really like to get a meet planned. :)

I have been down there a good 2-2.5 hour drive from us. we should trying meeting halfway so we can meet up with the jersey shore crowd also

I am in Moorestown New Jersey. Would really like to get a meet planned. :)

Sounds good for us S. Jersey folks../ There's probably several S.East Philly/Pa folks around these parts as well. I'm game if something is closer for us as well.

well my plans just got crushed, got off the phone with Extreme diesel parts and they have all the goodies you could ask for, but do not yet offer instalation at their building, nor do they have the dyno setup in the new location. so , no installs, and no dyno day at their place as it stands, or for quite some time, dang, I get real wrapped up and ready to go spend money, and then this, now I gotta figure out who else I can trust. I kind of decided on an ATS 5 star converter, but next nearest distributor is in Walden NY, at a racing shop I have never dealt with. Man this bites. No we gotta get together and talk about this and figure out my next plan, I need to do it soon so I can take off say a friday, before we get busy,and have it installed while I wait.

If you don't mind traveling, 1-1/2 up in CT. a TDR member in CT did mine and he get ATS. let me know if interested

Why not go with Fischer trans? Order the converter and then let them install it. They may cut you a break since you work for Sponz.

Got my manifold today, looks pretty simple to install. Now I just need a day like yesterday to throw it on. Also got some new brake pads on the way...figure I should do them after 83k on the stockers.

I kind of decided on an ATS 5 star converter

If your going to do a converter you better do a valve body also! You will need the higher pressure the valve body supplies. When I have to re-do my trans I'm going with Goerend. Their triple disk converter comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Also If you don't already have a deep trans pan I would also purchase one. I went with a double deep. Heat kills!

Definitely do a valve body too. You'll probably have to do a different front lever too, I've gone to billet ones on my transmissions to prevent the lever from breaking with the extra pressure pushing on it and having no 2nd gear.

What happened? You know who's not holding up?

on a side note hows your trans holding up mine is sitting up there right now with another leak other than a couple of seals i cant complain no slipping even pulling my Kubota around

What happened? You know who's not holding up?

No, It's holding. I've made about a dozen passes at the track so far and it doesn't slip at all.(1.74-2.0 60') I just hate not knowing what's really inside. The latest converter is nice and tight (1700-1800) It's just with the new twins going on in the Spring I don't know how long my luck will last. I'm supposed to go back and have the valve body modified again after the twins are on.

Wish me luck!

yes a valve body would go in at the same time, as for fischer, I am trying to get around the core charges, figure a place that sells it and installs it, might not core me to death, if there is no alternative, I may end up down there, a 1.5 hr drive to CT is not out of the question , I have seen a few of those CT boys work, they don't mess around, they do it! I kind of want a place familiar enough about the truck, the converter and the smarty to know how much to set the valve body pressure to so they all work as well as they can together. sleepinwithmyfingerscrossed, thatbigbrowntruckbetterstopbymetomorrow :D

double post but, hey, Angelo, or Junior, I am leary of screwin up while changing to what software I want on the smarty, it was loaded with an aftermarket turbo program, and I want to put a new tune into it. just shaky on the directions. give me a ring if ya got a sec and can help, 201 954 2142

on a side note hows your trans holding up mine is sitting up there right now with another leak other than a couple of seals i cant complain no slipping even pulling my Kubota around

Well I saw ya coming down 15 South so I know the trucks done. Hows it feel?
Did he just repair the leaks or did he tweak anything?

Smarty software update complete :D thanks to Angelo for walkin me through it, mite see how the weather is tomorrow and see what all this is about.

It's only 8:00! Go load that thing and run it then report back![laugh]

Yeah right, get out there sir and let us know!!!

Glad angelo helped out mike just got on the old internet. Hope you went out by know and gave the tires somthing to scream about.


I have to stop laying rubber i need tires soon. that sucks.

Well I saw ya coming down 15 South so I know the trucks done. Hows it feel?
Did he just repair the leaks or did he tweak anything?

no tweaks .....mines been holding great....no slipping even pulling over 10,000lbs just had a couple leaks other than that cant complain...and they always have it fixed in one day plus they give me a free rental

on another note it was good to finaly drive my truck after a month and a half....**** insurance companys

mite see how the weather is tomorrow and see what all this is about.

Well It's tomorrow! How about a report. How do ya like it?

Seriously.... What is the hold up, I expected a huge detailed post about the opinions of teh SmRtY!? Maybe he is still out there beatin the **** out of his trans with it? I have actually been pondering the switchover to the MADS side myself and selling the Predator[dummy] Been seeing some crazy horror stories about the Diablo around lately. When I bought it the support was top notch, but then that all disappeared[nonono]

BTW, HI Angelo, ready to do some work on some quads yet?! Anybody want to go to a VENISON dinner Sat. Night? It is in Wantage @ a firehouse, all you can eat/drink for $25.

well its like this, not gonna rush into things and fumble in the dark,jury duty all dang day, got home in time to chow down some grub, and just got home from gun club meeting in Clinton twp.......... storm on the way, not going to load this till I have time to play proper with it. Venison dinner sounds good, I might have actually been to that one in the past.

I could edit this, but no one would notice, gee, short day today, only 14 hrs straight ! but it sure is helping the tranny fund grow :D smarty still sits on my desk, JL am sits on my desk, neither of which got its deserved chance at an instalition. Gotta go check on my site in the am, and then maybe the rest of day is mine, sure hope it warms up some. How did eveyone else make out with this lovely weather ? any more info on that Venison dinner pat ? good gawd I feel land sick, kind of the smae thing from bein on a boat too long and then gettin on land, well drivin an articulated loader all day , I still feel like I am jiggin back and forth.

Dinner is still on, I am going with the g/f, big brother, cousin, few other folks. Man I can not wait 'till the warm up.... Just did some welding on a rear recovery point for the Wolverine, and can honestly say that I impressed myself. Been a long time since I welded anything, and it didn't turn out too bad at all. BAsed on that, we may resume work on the winch mount tomorrow before dinner. Then I have more painting to do...

G/F got me something for birthday, but won't tell me what it is. Hopefully something to make one of the toys faster or mo' pimp style, will report back on that later this weekend.[guitar]

3 days of waiting gonna drive ya nuts, unless she cheats and give you it early. I just got back in from plowin/ saltin again, mostly parkin spaces where people finallly went the heck home. what time is the dinner and where is that firehouse, rite on 23 or what ? one I was at a few years back was at the VFW up that way.

Doors open @ 7, serving begins at 7:30. It is at the Beemerville Fire House, right by Space Farms on Route 519. Sounds like I am responsible for driving over there, guess I better not be hittin the sauce in full force [laugh]

OK, finally got off my duff and installed the smarty, takin it easy to start with, under stock turbo and injectors, I loaded up mild torque management, and then proceded to install catcher # 2, 60 hp, no added timing, figure the rocktech sensor is enough for now. Cleared my stored 191 code and let it finish its thing. Started up and gave it a good tap on the peddle, whoa, whats this ? black snow bank :D Ok, took it for a drive, now even just the 60 hp program ut it feels like a totally different truck, and boy if ya mash it off the line does it kill skeeters ! Very controlable via right foot. Went by Tom's place and took him for a ride, will let him give his own comnet. so far I like it, but now I have a 148 code, P0148 High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) Fueling Error Checksum and don't know why, it is not a dirty fuel filter, changed that last week. 191 may have been there from the quad race, and would not go away.

Mike,

It's time to upgrade your lift pump. Now! That code means you are starving the Cp3 of fuel. If you keep starving the CP3 it won't have enough excess fuel to use for cooling purposes and damage to the Cp3 will occur.
It could have been a dirty fuel filter, but you said you just changed it.
Ya wanna play ya gotta pay!
Angelo

p0191 fuel rail pressure sensor performance error code

The only thing I could find on this is that there is a reflash TSB out for this. People who got the reflash lost MPG's.

thanks for the quick reply Angelo, ah sweet, so it looks like next install party I may be doing a fuel delivery system upgrade as well, sheesh, I guess I better wish it snows again so I have money for that too.:?

thanks for the quick reply Angelo, ah sweet, so it looks like next install party I may be doing a fuel delivery system upgrade as well, sheesh, I guess I better wish it snows again so I have money for that too.:?

I would not wait if I were you. CP3's are expensive! At the least I would geat a fuel pressure gauge to monitor pressure to the CP3. Atleast then you would be able to tell when you had low pressure. And I would do this yesterday.

Mike, it sucks when the fuel system goes out man. Thats what happened to me on the way home from vacation last summer. Not a fun ride home, thats for sure.

Let me tell you guys, if I can sell my BullyDog I will definetly be investing in a Smarty. On the 60hp setting, the power seems much smoother and better than my BullyDog on the 90hp setting. Mike's truck definetly smokes A LOT more than my truck, but not too much that its annoying. Mike got a great deal on it, and he sure has enough literature on the Smarty in the truck with him. It sure pays to do your homework and be on the computer at the right time.

Mike, hope ya had a good time last night, can't say that I don't have some entertaining friends now can ya [duhhh]

Too bad there wasn't a wrench day today, what a day! melted most of the snow off the driveway, can now be passed in 2 wd again :cool: Mike, should have set something up to get those gauges in, we were here all day tinkering with the Wolvy anyway...

SO, WHATS NEXT?!? [director]

well that is one heckuva driveway you have there, I gotta say, I like usin 4 wheel low to creep down. It was a good time, and yeah I had a good time. I didn't do much today, takin it easy on the truck till the new pump arrives, I mite even head into a place in caldwell and see what they have available. For peace of mind I have been driving the truck at or below 2 k rpm so as not to place high flow demands on an obvioulsly weak system. If they have something complete, I mite grab it and return the one I have on the way. The one I have coming plugs into power from the original, and mounts on the frame rail, so if they have anything, it has to be equally easy to install.

OH, girlfriend gave me my presents the other day, Recon smoked cab lights and one of the line of fire style bars. Has anybody heard of Rampage products:confused:? The tailgate bar is not Recon, it is a Rampage, she said if I wanted Recon, she would exchange them. With the cab lights, havent I seen people suggest using silicone or something to help sealing, prevent leaking?

So that is a couple thigns I can do some time, as long as I don't get excited and do it before hand[coffee]

Pat, definetly silicone around the lights and under the lights to prevent leaks. Most guys are hardwiring those cab lights in, and I can honestly say that the connectors on those things suck. I have replaced two of them already because the connectors have gone bad. I think at our wrench day, I will be hardwiring mine as well as my other stuff.

Do we have a possible wrench day date?

I know Junior expressed interest in this coming weekend, works for me... if anyone else has a floor jack, bring it so I can let him see what the H2 setup looks like on his truck. Hopefully my fuel pump will be here by then. How bout a location ?

Unfortunately, this weekend doesn't fly for me, I am heading to PA, but weekend after that(9th) I will be around.

well at least you are doin something good, sounds like one heckuva place. I replied to this thread, and wanted to make sure it got noticed by our group, so , linkin it here , It may have originated on another site.
http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/showthread.php?t=193782 well looks like a few people don't play well together and the thread got removed. some people get their panties in a bunch quick.:( oh well there is a big get together coming up in dillsburg PA

This weekend would work for me, but it has to be Sunday.

well my new on the rail lift pump is out for delivery, and Sunday looks good acording to this : http://www.weather.com/weather/wxdetail/07004?dayNum=4 so lets pick a place, and see what if any special tools need to be brought along, I will bring my floor jack in case Phill wants to try my tires/ rims out. And if anyone needs codes cleared, heck I can do that now too :D If it werent so dang windy out I might try this fuel thing tonight, but man if I run into anything, I am dead in the water, no spare car to drive. I need to get me a mni cooper to keep just for emergencies in the back of the truck. Hm, if I put the mini in the truck , on a conveyor belt, and ran the quarter mile, I wonder how fast the mini would go ?

well my new on the rail lift pump is out for delivery

What brand did you end up buying?

from Bd diesel performance, its a carter pump, looking at it right now...... doesn't look to hard to do, just hope it is what I need. talked with another member that has it and has zero issues since it went in. btw, if ya wait long enough on the NHRDA site, your pic comes up in the side from last years race !

EDIT : woohoo, just got off the phone with the guys who are going to install the Goerend goodies into my tranny, price is fair and should be able to get it done in a day, but I am getting it done on a Thursday just in case... headin out on March 7th to get er done [guitar]

Mike,
congrats on the upgrades.


I found a guy locally that has a polished 3rd gen rim 06/07 style, cipa extendable power mirrors (like the one genos sells) and night runner headlights if anybody is interested.

So we are wrenching on Sunday? I can install my Bladerunner intake and throw some new brake pads on the truck. Maybe get a chance to put that bigger tank in as well. Who is planning on attending?

how bout a location ? I got stuff to do and need to get it done !

Depending on time i can be there. My nephews birthday that day so have to do family thing. Not sure when it starts though.

def. want to try to come and throw one of mikes wheels on.

Not sure if I will be making it either. I have to work tomorrow and now with the possible snow I will be out early in the morning. Will need Sunday to recoup and than get back to the daily grind. We will see how it goes tomorrow morning.....

yeah, I hear ya, it just started snowin here in the last half hour, no matter what I have to do my fuel pump, if need be I will tackle it in front of my place and deal with a wet snowy road as a work surface. grrrrr not an inviting sound at all. but I do not want to be limited in my rompin on it anymore, almost a whole week of keepin it under 2krpm is makin me nuts. JR whats your schedule drivin that ad truck around ? I saw one cruise down 23 south last night around 6:30 pm.

that wasn't so bad, 4 hours and done. sloppy snow, and now the sun is comin out. Hardly worth goin back to bed, dang road is full of water tho, not layin on my back in that, grrrrrr gotta find high groundif I am gonna get anything done today.

I didn't do anything today except put my snow stuff away this morning. Not worth plowing an inch. Got a long day ahead of me today, just hope it goes by fast.

My scedule is this see. I don't have schedule except have to be down to see my nephew by 3 latest in afternoon Or could meet up one night

well, skrew them with their oil presure sensor switched system , that port in the block is burried 3 deep, decided to go with a relay and put er on switched power. got all the electrical done, just need to mount the relay and wire tie the wires. But where did this cold come from, nice and semi warm when I started, now cold and windy...... least it dried the street up a bit....... but what is this red sticky liquid and where is it leaking from? o thats me, sprung a leak ...... can't wait to get diesel in that, outa feel good. phew I need to warm my fingers back up and decide if I am going to do more tonight or not. Tom, when you thinkin of doin that intake work ? should be simple enough if ya want to come by tomorrow and we can put it on in front of my place. I mite need a hand bleedin the system anyway. Phil, give me a call n my cell to figure this out for tryin tires, I lost your number but I think you have mine.

Hey gang!!

Might be able to meet up tomorrow. Got my new truck today. Preety happy with it but need some time to get used to the new seats. Also, there is some damage to the bed during delivery but their gonna fix it. They even pointed it out before I could see the truck. All in all, it's always good dealing with that dealership so...

Where are you'll meeting tomorrow?

Mike i will call you today around 9am . don't know if you are early riser or not. Me i just pop up normal work time and can't sleep any later. i think i can find your number. I can bring jack stands if we need them don't know what you have.

same here, suns up, I am pretty much....... I think I have one pair of jack stands just gotta find them. Good deal on the new truck Bryan, well, bummer bout the bed, now bomb that thing before the next tank of fuel !

Rats, just got word from the shop doin my tranny work that the parts will not be there in time for me to get er done Thursday, going to shoot for Monday next week instead. Man the temptation to let er rip goes from mild to wild. Phil that does clear up days to try my tires on your truck, so give me a buzz during the day sometime so we can set this up. I just need to finish doing an hours worth of stuff to my Mom's car at their house after work, then free rest of the week. How's bout a Hooters meet again soon ? I could use some wings and such, any chance at this week ?

Mike, I see you went with Goerend. Smart move on your part. What all are you getting done?

billet flex flate and input shaft, torque converter, valve body, shift lever and anchor point, extra clutch pack in the front and back. and whatever else they seem to think is in need of work while in there. Dave is target building it to hold over 600. he took his time to ask what I wanted out of it and what I planned to do with it in the future. Thanks for bumpin me towards his product !

I can't meet up this weekend, but how about next weekend?

Hey guys I'd like to introduce myself. Not sure if this is the right place to do so. My name is Brian and I run a couple first gens. I met inlinekeith about a month ago. ( he saw my fleet and had to stop and inquire) Any way I 'd like to meet you guys soon. I'm up in W. Milford. I was wondering if there was going to be any runs to Island DW this spring? I haven't found any info on this.Let me know what I need to do to get in with you guys.

welcome to the clan, kind of surprised you met Keith and still stopped by to check us out [laugh] just bustin on Keith as he hasn't posted in a while. yeah we run up to the dragway a few times a year, and meet up now and then to shoot the breeze, sometimes we even meet up to wrench on stuff. stop by often and read up on all the good info on first gens, we are lucky to live but an hour and a half away from a 1st gen guru, Wannadiesel. He has got to be one of the best hands on information centers alive.

I'm up in W. Milford.


First off Welcome! Where in West Milford are you? I used to live up on the mountain in Upper Greenwood Lake till I moved to Vernon. As for Island Dragway, keep looking at the NJ posts and when the NHRDA has the diesel races I will post to let everyone know.

Hello and welcome to the clan from NJ. We usually meet up about once a month at the Hooters in Wayne to shoot the bull and watch the Conductor (MikMaze) sweat out some 911 wings. We usually head up to Island on a Friday night. I would like to get up there soon to see what the old girl will do in the 1/4.

Mike, are we still planning on that PA thing? Is that still going on?

Mike, are we still planning on that PA thing? Is that still going on?

Are you talking about Spring Fling? I've went to Spring Fling/Fall Brawl for the last two years now, and let me tell you it's a good time. If you can try and make it, it's worth the drive.

Yeah thats it. There was a thread in the PA forum a little while ago and Mike mentioned something about going. I am going to ride up there on Saturday I think to check it out. Its May 17th-18th right?

Yes I am going to ride out for that one, most likely stay just one day, and meet up with whoever along the way, could even co ordinate this and get a convoy goin. Angelo, you think you will make it this year? nice day to show off the new twins !

Welcome aboard!

Hey, anybody know where I can get some powder coating done?

I plan to run my truck on the "Humbler" again and see what the twins add. Hoping for over 600. If time allows I will try to stay both days but if not I will try to pick the same day as the majority of people from NJ.

I think Saturday would be the best day to go. What time does it start? IIRC, Dillsburg is about 3 hours from here, so we can get an early start up there.

Yeah Saturday sounds good, but I see no mention of a start time on the other site....... as time gets closer we can call to see, but it is still a ways off. BTW Tom, I see the bully dog for sale, whats next in its place ?

It's a secret.....[laugh] going with the Smarty, but only if I can sell the BullyDog. If not, I will keep the BullyDog and keep building.

When Pat and I went in the fall I think we left around 5:30-6:00. Bring some sort of food and/or soda to share and they pull out a huge BBQ and have burgers, dogs, salads, chips, and all other types of foods. It really is a good time with some great people!

I don't know if I can make the spring fling yet, I'd like to go if I can keep up with you guys seeing as I'm prolly only puttin out about 200hp! If I can go hopefully I'll be a little quicker comin back. Thanks for the welcoming!

Does anybody know a good body shop? I want to have a new hood painted for the new truck and I wanna get the warm fuzzy about who's doing the work.

I think Saturday would be the best day to go. What time does it start? IIRC, Dillsburg is about 3 hours from here, so we can get an early start up there.
Depends on what you want to do, I like to go sunday because I can get on the dyno alot quicker.

You won't be the only 1st gen going out. If I get a good trans in another truck I'm thinking about taking both.

When we went on Sunday, that seemed like one of the big positives. Pics I saw of Sat. looked PACKED, but on Sunday the dyno line seemed to stay pretty well under control. I guess if you want to get a dyno run and not spend the whole day, Sunday is the day for you. As for me, going as an admirer, Sat would be preferred.

It was definitely a good time, lots of nice people and tons of food, but it never hurts to pitch in. I will see what I can do about making the trip again, this work schedule blows...[verymad]

Anyone thinking of going to that other get together in Bordentown?

EDIT: I am going to volunteer now as the tow rig for the Spring Fling this May just in case anyone thinks that they will not make it home from there. Remember, your not having fun unless you break some parts!!

the one at the wawa or wherever down there on/ off 130 by 295 ? sure, why not, share the smoke with the souhtherners.

Hey powerrmaster welcome, i have seen you around quite a bit, always going in opposite directions though.

Still trying to persuade the signifcant other on spring fling and also have to make sure the date is open.

I am up for anything locally guys, friday night Hooters or the BBQ joint mike mentioned on Goffle sounds good to me.

When is the Wrench day, have some maintenance on the old pig.

Mike got home from work late the yesterday sorry did not call you.

We gotta wrench soon I got new brake pads for the truck and my intake manifold to throw on. Maybe next Saturday?

The Smarty is sweet:):):):) But deff time for a new trans:(

Angelo can you pm me your # i need help with puting smarty stuff on me computer:)

You could ask the Conductor for help, he does have a 30 page printout of Smarty stuff in the truck at all times.[laugh]

Hey guys, in the market for a CB now. What brands do you suggest? I am not going to be sitting in the truck all night talking to Sputnik, but I would like one for long trips to PA and such. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I know Cobra was always a big name with them, not sure if anything has changed, or if there is better out there. I have been thinking of one for the same reason, especially since there is no cell phone service for the majority of the trip I make...

Cobra makes some nice small units, not sure if you are looking to add to it between the unit and the antenna, but installing a compact unit would be easier than a god awful bulky beast. I talked to Keith last night about his smarty, but I can not for the life of me remember which driver to install so not wanting him to screw it up, gave up. Looks like wer are out of the rain for now, but more on the way, dangit, I got a tv to run up to my sister's house but no way in the rain, too big for back seat ! TOM, this is the small cobra, almost fit in the cubby under the radio! http://cgi.ebay.com/Cobra-40-Ch-CB-Radio-19-DXIV-DX-IV-Radios-NEW_W0QQitemZ290212570398QQihZ019QQcategoryZ40055Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

who else mite head on down to Bordentown next weekend ? or is that when we are wrenchin ???

80% of a CB radio set up is the ant. i have a willson 1000 which is plenty of ant. for power im running
i have a uniden tc 78 elite peaked and tuned and i made a custom mount to fit in my truck tom call me i have a couple CB's i want to get rid of

ill try to put a pic up

Angelo can you pm me your # i need help with puting smarty stuff on me computer:)

PM sent. Keith you better start thinking about some more air and quick! You gotta lot of fuel at your fingertips now.:o Id hate to see ya wreck that motor. Be careful and don't let the right foot get the best of ya![roll]

who else mite head on down to Bordentown next weekend ? or is that when we are wrenchin ???[/QUOTE]

Mike, that looks like it would be perfect for my needs and for $50 I don't think I can go wrong. I think I am going to put two antennas on the BackRack, probably one just for show. As for next weekend, I would like to get that intake manifold on and my new brake pads in. However, if the majority is headed down to that show, than maybe I will just head down there as well.

heck if the show gets boring, we could put that intake on right there in the lot. as for the brake pads, heck, they could go on too. Just bring a good sized c clamp as I can still not find mine for compressing the pistons !

We could do that....

where and when fellas

I am out for next Saturday, got something going on down the shore that I need to attend to. I will be around Sunday if you guys want to have a wrench day.

yea about that right pedal 2nd gear is going i think i fried the band:([duhhh]
must sell benz need trans
tom "willson 2000 trucker" thats all you need
mulisha you live in riverdale?

no, im right next to vernon on one of the golf courses.

Got a link for some info on that CB Keith?

Well guys, how about a mid-week get together? I am meeting up with Pat this week so he can pick up some tail lights from me Wednesday night at the Dunkin Donuts in Boonton. If anyone else would like to join, they are more than welcome to. We should be meeting up around 7 or so in the parking lot, so hopefully some other folks can take the ride over and shoot the bull with us.

I thought we were meeting up for a beer?! [tapdshut] Now it is coffee, I just don't know about all this. Then again it is close to 45 min. away, so I guess DD works this time around...[laugh]

I think I drank enough beer over the weekend for the both of us, so coffee would be better for me. I have to rest up for the weekend.

OMG, where is the shiftin gears layin rubber smiley ?????? freakin tranny is soooooooo different its like a new truck, with a fresh set of steel OO. Late and I gotta get goin to work but what a difference, Best part is on the way out I reset the overhead mpg, 18.8 mpg. Reset onm the way home, 20.5 mpg. Now I know its just the overhead, but thats not just some fluke, and its not all down hill on the way home, same route, same roads Nothing changed. Took a looooong day to finish, parts on the truck like bein where they were, and Dodge changed a tollerance inside that ended up making them have to mahine down one of the final clutches.....20 thou had to come off. Good bunch of guys that worked their buts off all day and all nite. Got there at 8:15 am, left there at 11:45 PM. two hours drive is all and they are ready for the next truck. talk more later I gotta jet.

Sweet to hear Mike. I tried calling you last night but your phone was off. You going to meet up with us tomorrow night?

I might be able to, its a bit early but I think I can swing it, as long as you guys hang out for more than a few minutes. Is that the one just off 287, wanaque exit I think ? so different to drive, no more spinnin 2 grand just to go up some measly hill, makes the engine seem a lot more grunt down low, and sound wise too, set off 2 car alarms on the way home and not in areas I normally do. still exhausted tho, way long of a day. As for my -phone bein off, gotta remember, next yell works better than any nextel. [duhhh]

where exactly is everybody meeting on wed night,

We are meeting at the DD down there off of 202 apparently, we could meet up more locally if you want.

Dang, see told ya I was tired, missed the Boonton word, clear as day, but dang I am whooped. Which one is that Tom, Kinda near Walmart over that way ? I seem to 'member one up that way.

Yeah its right over next to the new Hess and the McDonalds on route 202 in Boonton (Myrtle Ave). Pat, if you want to make it somewhere on 23, that works for me as well. We could meet up in Butler/Kinnelon area if you guys want, doesn't matter to me.

Mike, I will hang out more than a few minutes if your rolling up. I want a ride in your new truck!!!!

butler or kinnelon would be great for me, i have some something to do right down the road in rriverdale

O gawd, with this group ? stick to the plan and hit the DD on 202, too late in the game to change locations, Tom, if its rainin, it could get scary, pretty wild on dry roads. I still have the 60 hp no timing tune loaded so you can see the changes from o what, 2 weeks ago ?.

No, I meant for him to meet up with me and travel down, not to change the location all together. I am finally going to make a "get together", don't want to throw a wrench in the works [laugh]

i wana ride!!!!!!! going to try to make it /what time?

sorry man, dont wanna cause any problems, ill catch up with you guys next time.

what just happend im soooo confused

not causin problems man, just too late to change any locations, as Pat said, he can meet up with ya at some point.......... still haven't given it a good romp, went out to eat with the wife and too tired to do any controlled drifts with a 8k pound truck. I'll see whoever shows up a bit after 7 at Dunkin, any cahnges call me, cya.

Yeah, all is good. I am meeting up with George @ Hooters in Franklin tomorrow and then we are gonna shoot down there, he seems to know where we are going so I am going to chase him down 23 if I can keep up[tapdshut].

Hopefully tomorrow is going to be a good day for an oil change, maybe a bath and workin on the toolbox.

yup see ya tommorow guys.

Okay here are some directions for you guys coming from 23. 287 North to the Boonton exit (right after the Montville/202 exit) Come off the ramp and make a left, go through the traffic light at the McDonalds, pass the Hess and turn into the parking lot there. I should be there around 6:45 if you guys are early. I will park out by 202 so you guys can see my beautiful blue truck from the road. See you guys tomorrow.

Keith, I got confused too man, don't feel bad.......

lol, that was funny. its real easy to get to. see ya there

Great. Right away, new guy is coming in here, throwing curve balls and gettin everybody confused. I can see this fella is going to be trouble[laugh]

So what are we working on tomorrow night?! I guess it is going to be kind of dark though huh:(

workin on given test rides, so ya'll can see what a goerend goody could do for you ! Well, except for those with three peddled trucks anyway.

workin on given test rides, so ya'll can see what a goerend goody could do for you ! Well, except for those with three peddled trucks anyway.
What converter did you wind up with? I'm currently up in the air with which one of his to go with right now. I don't want one as tight as the one I have now.

test rides, oh yeh.im going for the HTS tranny in a couple of weeks. after my twins come in from nathan.hope the rain holds off.

I went with the Goerend setup, way tighter than stock but not annoyingly so.

was that a full tranny or partial. either way is good

partial, billet flex plate, billet input, torque converter, extra clutch packs front and back, shift lever and anchor point and a few other items, bands and stuff.

thats what im doing with HTS,just have to send them my tranny, so the warantee it.dusty at HTS told me it would shave a full second of my quarter mile time to.

See, for warranty reasons I drove to one of the Goerend approved installers, and had it done while I waited. No core charges involved, no shipping charges either.

yup, there paying for my shipping to, which is awesome, 400 bucks. basicly goerend, and HTS are the 2 premier tranny company's. there like pella and anderson of the window buisness, theres only 2. cant go wrong with either.talk to you tonight about them.

Ohh well considering i am just reading this now and you guys are 2 minutes from my work and i am home i won't be making it tonight. have fun and stay warm

I don't know about the staying warm part, but it was good to see folks again, nice meetin' George too.

Dang!! There were cops all over tonight, had to be wise about screwing around in traffic on that trip home [nonono] We didn't even get to go for a test ride?! I feel so short changed:(

ended up waiting for Keith while shoppin wally world a few minutes, he got a test ride, almost disaster, speakin of po po, turned up the hill into Boonton and romped on it, and there was one shootin radar bout 50 foot from the drive I was pullin out of, so, off the skinny peddle fast, and walk it around the block and call it good enough to get off without a chat with the man. I gotta find that other thread about gettin together on the weekend and see when it is and what is is and figure if that is our nect meet/ greet. good chattin and good to meet George, cya's

Whats Up Fellas , Great Meeting You All Yesterday. It Was Really Cold And Windy Though, Couldnt Really Inspect Everybodys Truck. Just Keepin Warm Was Priority Lol. Talk To You Guys Soon, Next Time Its Beer's In A Warm Place.

Good meeting you too George.

How about a Friday night get together next Friday, 3/21 at the Hooters in Franklin? What do you say 7pm there for some wings and beer?

sounds good, but just replied in the other thread about Bryan offering a place to wrench that next day. one or the other or both ???

I got something going on in NYC next Saturday, so thats out for me.

Guys,
I can change my day to Sunday or what ever you wanna do. I'm open and still need to get some horn stuff so...

I will say that within or for the next 3 weeks, I will be wrenchin at my house so if you need to do stuf and wanna meet up, post in the other thread.

Good meeting you too George.

How about a Friday night get together next Friday, 3/21 at the Hooters in Franklin? What do you say 7pm there for some wings and beer?

Thats the post I was hearing about[dummy] Friday night beer and wings in Franklin works for me any weekend. It is those pesky Sat/Sun when I disappear[nonono] I'll meet you over there tonight if you want[laugh] I might not be there @ 7 sharp, but I can get there.

just post when you guys are meeting and or wrenching, i have poker tourneys on friday nights, but i am willing to meet up on weekend's if anybody needs help.plus i think angelo is wanting to put his twins on soon.

Well if you had a twin setup in you basement collecting dust, wouldn't you be getting antsy?!:o

I actually talked to him about that the other day on the phone. That is pretty much going to be a weekend long ordeal, or so it seems. I think he said he was told like 10-12 hrs. for an experienced installer, so that should give a pretty good idea of what it might take a bunch of newbs. Seems like the idea would be a Friday night tear down at a minimum. That way Sat. is entirely devoted to reinstalling, and you have Sunday if needed. This may be an overage for time, but expect the worst, hope for the best.

I think if the weather is nice next weekend I will install the head studs. Maybe the next week or two later I will install the twins. Weather permitting. I'm really not in a rush, they just have to be on for Spring Fling.

seems to me that i would take the exhaust manifold off the truck, install the twins onto that, then bolt it back on the block, and then all the big tubes go on and oil line / return. next friday sounds like a hooters meet franklin, here we come !

seems to me that i would take the exhaust manifold off the truck, install the twins onto that, then bolt it back on the block, and then all the big tubes go on and oil line / return.


If it was only that easy![laugh] You need to disassemble the new turbos for the install and then clock them to the right position. You need to install new heater core feed line and trans. dipstick tube, bend some other lines out of the way and relocate the grid heater relays and after all that you have to make the new 5" downpipe work with the 4" exhaust.

As to bolting the turbo's to the manifold and then installing...... I guess you would have to pick the manifold and two turbo's up seperately to appreciate how heavy the are. I believe the big one weighs approx. 55lbs while the little one weighs 38lbs.

I'm going to say Pat is right on with the time. It always takes longer the first time around. I would like to have it finished by Sunday on the weekend I do it so I have some time to play with the wastegate tuning.

If this doesn't keep my EGT's in check I'm done![roll][duhhh]

See, this is a big job, and should be approached as such. Next Friday, we will discuss and plan things over some hot beer and cold wings (I got that right didn't I gus?) Then when the time comes, we will need more beer to get back into that frame of mind, and this being a big job requires big beer. I am thinking 1/4 barrel at least. Thoughts?[laugh]



Kidding, IDK if I would mix alcohol with this kind of job. lot of $$$ at stake, too much can go wrong IMO

just came to mind; Angelo, you ended up buying a new torque wrench to do the headstuds didn't you? Seems to be what I remember you saying, that is if my memory is right, which it tends not to be[duhhh]

good gawd, had no clue the turbo's were so heavy. man it sure is a project for someone who has another means of transportation. If ya need help, just holler, sure a few of us would be able to get up there and help out with whatever we can.

EDIT : Pat, I just ran into the owner of a shop in upper saddle river that does tranny work, clutches and sutch, he is into diesels and seems to know his stuff, gold seal transmissions in upper saddle river. since I know your brother is in need of some work, might look him up.

Anyone want a set of Recon smoked cab lights? I have some extras as well to go with it. PM me if interested, I don't want to get us into trouble again.

Good to know Mike, might have to get in touch with them.

Sure Tom, wait until I get the darn lights to offer yours up... I see how it is. Happy St. Patrick's Day folks, go out and het yourself a green beer. [coffee]

Hey hey hey wait a minute...I asked if you wanted them and you said, "Oh, my girlfriend is buying them for me." You had your chance[nonono]

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all as well.

[laugh][laugh] Don't blame me because she bought them! If she wants to buy me something, I am not going to be discouraging her [nonono]

Back on track:
Hooters?

Friday night man...I will be there!

sounds like a plan, at least a few of us there and some good sites to see as always. JR, I been riding around with my floor jack, if you happen to make it, willing to let ya try the tires/. rims for looks/ fit while we are there.

EDIT : just managed to remove the rocktech sensor and re instal the stock sensor, now ready for the added timing programs :D [guitar]

He is really just driving around with it becuase it looks like a stinger in the back of his truck. Makes him look more intimidating on teh highways.

I will be there, but will probably end up a little late, supposed to work till 7 but I will try to duck out early.

wich hooters franklin or wayne?...

Franklin this time around

Still 7 PM? I already cleared it with the boss so providing no overtime calls, I'll be there.

yes , 7 pm, and a few of us rollin in a bit on the not so on time side......

I should be there around 7 or so.

just got permission from the Boss shes gonna let me out.....Tom do you want me to bring that spreader up with me?

Yeah bring it up..how much did you want for it?

Mike if wether is nice lets do it friday evening, let me know when you role out i will try to follow you guys up. so far i can make it.

Is anyboday heading down to brian's sat, not sure if i can make it, but will try

I can't make Bryan's on Saturday, even though I got stuff to go on the truck. Sucks, but I will definetly make the next one. Weather is getting nice, so we should be able to have another wrench day soon.

sounds like a plan JR, I think the # I have for you is your house number so give me a call on my cell sometime Fri nite after work and I will let you know when I will be rollin up that way. As for Bryan's on Sat, not sure yet, I do have stuff to do, but not sure what else might be going on.

I can't do anything Sat. as I will be working and then heading to PA. As for Friday night, I will be there a little late as I said and I think my brother and my buddy will be checking in as well.

Yeah bring it up..how much did you want for it?
