Just wanted to drop by and say hi to everybody. I met Mike Holmen at the park accross from my house one day and he mentioned this site. Looks like I just missed out on some fun this weekend will have to make it the next time.

Great site lots of info, look forward to talking Diesel with all of you.

I met Mike Holmen at the park

Already getting mixed in with bad company![laugh]

Welcome.

I caught the bug before he promised me 600hp. The meeting just made the itch worse.

Welcome ICL.

How do you like your Kore stuff? What is this mini pack in your sig. Tossing around the idea of suspension mods on the 04.5

The mini pack is a set of springs added to your leafs that bring the back end of the truck up one inch. I belive the Kore mini's are made by Deaver spring.

I really enjoy this suspension. It rides great and I didn't lose any towing capacity. I find myself speeding up for bumps now, and floor it thru washboard almost daring the truck to get the back end to walkout on me.

The VR coils bring up the front 3" so you lose the factory rake, which I miss when I tow my 3900 Kg bumpstop. I was thinking of a carli airbag set-up for the back end trying to get a little of the rake back. However, my father in law has the same kit with 35's and with the much shorter wheelbase of the QC. When towing the rake loss does not seem to be as big of a deal as its is in the mega.

I will take some pic's for you and post them so you can get a better look at it.

Don't listen to that Mike guy, he'll just lead you down a path of destruction[laugh], Welcome.

I got some pics up now. Hope they give you a good idea on those mini packs and some Kore stuff.

ICL,

Hey, belated welcome to the DTR. We are getting up to official status as much as I can give some time organizing some forms for the guys... You met Mike and still joined? Amazing..

LD..

Ran into Mike this morning....He is still grumpy about his dyno run.[coffee]

MAyby I should go by with some coffee or beer to cheer him up

I think so....He may push his truck over the cliff.

He better not. He promised me his seats first![laugh]

I think that I'm going buy a new fUrd[duhhh] at least I'll have an reason why my truck didn't make any power. ICL you should come over and I can show all the tranny destruction pieces that I got. Might even get you sized up for a twin turbo set-up. Airdrie has a pretty decent diesel truck scene. I'm working on getting my neighbor to put in a 4b cummins into his jeep CJ, of course with twins on it.

We should, Chris needs all the power he can get.

At least he would have the coolest ride at the meet. [coffee] <-beer
The tranny parts are going into the dump tomorrow. I keep kicking them around the shop.

I have to run into cowtown tomorrow Am. Weekend is open for a garage visit if you don't mind having a couple extra beers kicking around.

I meant I would bring some. LOL I was reading that post after I submitted and realized it might sound like I was having you buy the suds.

Cranked_dodge got banned for a bad PM. Just to let you guys know, they are not ditching you guys in returning your messages. If you need to get ahold of them for anything have them go to abdiesels.com or call 1-877-DSL-POWR.:cool:

haha omg thats funny right there. I knew somethitng was up. Well it looks like ill be home this weekend too. I got new tires for the old dodge and also got to go look at another truck for work. I might be in for a beer this weekend if your around ICL. I live in airdrie also over in sandstone by the old macs store.

Yeah I have seen you around. One day you drove by my house, I had my butt in the air working on the truck and heard you drive by and just about fell over trying to get a look at your truck. LOL

But a few beers on Saturday sounds good. Goto Bogies or do it in the garage, ethier way is cool. I got a new dart board for the garage I like to show off.

Ya i know where you live. I like your truck it looks pretty nice. Ya i was actually workin my summer job when i was in your area. I was cleaning up after all of the grow ops in that neighbour hood. I think there was a total of 5 or 6. Nothing good left over though.[duhhh] And ya, ill pm you my number and we can hook up for a beverage or 2. I just rolled into town like 30 minutes ago so im just checkin the net for some stuff.

I busy burning wire on my new twin set-up. Its so so close its scary. I got all of the hoses built for the coolant and fittings on my new garrett 3788-2R. I guess Chris talked to you and he's starting to warm-up to the 4B idea in the CJ.

ICL, you around on the weekend? I got the pieces together for Chris CJ turbo upgrade. He's starting to back out on me, worried that I might wreak something, go figure[dummy]. I had him thinking that I put on a set of twins on the 300 the other day. I placed two turbos on her and ran a couple air tubes/hoses just for looks.

I have to run to Okotokes on saturday but I am around on Sunday. Thats pretty funny with the 300, I would have loved to see the look on his face.

I too might be around. So mike, do you still need some weldin done??

We could weld up a new twins set-up. I've been wanting to put together a garrett 3782/4294 twins. One day might be tight for time as I need the truck next week. We could build the air tubes as the 4294 is easier than weld one up for BTH-3b. I have the air tubes half built and just have to weld a 90 elbow. The 3b requires a 3 1/2in 90 with another 3in 90, so its abit more tricky than the garretts. We could talk Tate into build his set-up. We could almost get it finished.

I'm want to try a ride in rob truck to see if I'm going with the Kore stuff. It doesn't look to hard to put in and I'm going to have the front end apart anyways, so...
