MD Chapter #33 Never ending thread Part IV

[scottsjeeprolet]

Well it's time to kick off another thread. The other one is getting pretty long.
I'm not going to the Renaissance festival Sat but have rescheduled it for Sept 29th. Anyone interested in coming is welcome.
Sunday at noon we will be working on Mike's truck so come on over if you want to watch, heckle or help.[coffee]
Oh ya and tonight Keith is getting a new exhaust.[roll]

[paroxysym]

should be a good time. scott howd the rims turn out? sunday after the lift need to run and align the bastard and get those tires mounted and balanced- unless glenn was able to do so. oh yea i thought 4 in roman numerals was IV? LOL

[Sea:\>Drive]

Yea, everyone at work keeps wondering why I go out every few hours and squirt something under my hood (the PB Blaster on those down pipe bolts) [guitar]

I'll check on the 29th, we usually wait until it is cooler out, it may be by then.

[getblown5.9]

too many sled pulls to do anything this month, then there is hunting season which starts tomorrow...wont be seeing me much on saturdays, maybe on a few sundays now and then

[TKC2000]

I'll check our calendar, we'd really like to go to the Renaissance fest. Won't be able to make this weekend at the Cave, have to get caught up on house work after all those weekends away.

[TKC2000]

Talked with Dave Goerend the other day and went through a question and answer session with him about what his suggestion for my truck would be. Basically he suggested that if I'm not looking to be a competetive puller/dragger and I keep the power mods modest then I would only really need a TC (Triple Disk w/ Life Time Warranty), the High Strength 1-2 Band apply lever, High strength apply strap and anchor for band, and a couple other small items. He also said we could turn the pressure screw on the VB out a turn or two to help. The total w/ shipping and after the core refund ($300) $1460. So it looks like we could be doing my trans pretty soon. I also have an eye on some guages.

[06 DIESEL]

I'll be there tonight, and probibally on sunday. I am currently working on finding the correct program for my predator/puck stack so I do not get timing rattle at WOT. [guitar]

[robmints]

Mom's in St Joes and doing well so I went over and watched Jeopardy and then I had a kids birthday party at the bowling alley, so I missed the exhaust install. How does it sound? Was it raining when you all got done, could you really get on it? Does it sound much different than a CR? SD, do you like it?

[Sea:\>Drive]

Special thanks to Scotte, Ernie, and Travis on assisting on the install. We got it knocked out pretty quick. No I couldn't really get on it as it was raining pretty good when I left, but I think it sounds awesome. Just loud enough to know something is there, but quiet enough to keep the wife happy. I managed to make it drone once trying to lug it (which is hard to do in an auto). I'm going to love it I'm sure.

Did notice a big change in EGTs already. Cruising seemed to be quite a bit lower than with the stock system. Can't wait to hook up the boat and tow it around to see how it does when I'm getting on it with the boat attached.

As for quality, nice system, perfect fit (had to cut a bit off the tail pipe section that was it).

I'm headed to the dump today with old system in the bed (along with a bunch of other stuff from my yard), and I will get a chance to "get on it". [guitar]

[gies]

Keith -
glad you like it! Put a 4"-5" tip on that thing are you are set.
Shooting season is winding down and I hope to run over and hang out more this fall.
jason

[getblown5.9]

He already has a 5" tip on it...looks good!

[biggerkin]

How did you make out today?? :o:o[roll][roll][laugh][laugh]

[scottsjeeprolet]

T.J's home.
Well tell us all about your exciting weekend!

[ramsport59]

any fellow md'ers know where to find some 315's at for a decent price? I need some sort of allterrain for the cummins. Thanks!

[06 DIESEL]

Here are my results from the dyno on Saturday.
Low # is stock baseline
443/803 is Predator Extreme RKL with Puck on "90"
462/816 is Predator Extreme RKL with Puck on "50" started at 60 MPH
452/799 is Predator Extreme RKL with Puck on "50" Started at 70 MPH so the clutch would not slip
You can clearly see that I need a better clutch. I should have been able to lay down closer to 500 HP with a clutch that would hold.

[scottsjeeprolet]

Travis so why do you think you put down more power with the Puck on 50 opposed to the 90 setting?
Great numbers, way to go! How much do you have in the puck and predator?
Us 2nd gen guys are jealous of how easy it is to make big numbers with the 3rd gen's.

90 vs 50 - I have heard that they had a misprint (sp) in the destructions, I guess that they did[duhhh]
Cost - I have $451 in the Diablo Predator/Puck and a Quadzilla Boost Fooler shipped to my door.
There were several people there that were very suprised how much power I made with everything else STOCK. [roll]

[scottsjeeprolet]

So the date has changed once again.
If you've never been or would like to go again i will be going on Oct 13th.
It's fun and lots of Cider to drink.[coffee]

Hey Mike how's that new found power and bigger stance? Truck looks real good now. It only took us about 3 hours to do.

[TKC2000]

Look slike we're free that weekend, I'll double check w/ the better half [dummy] and make sure.

[Sea:\>Drive]

I think I had the festival on the schedule for Oct 6th....but who knows?

[paroxysym]

scott, big thanks for helping me out yesterday on the install. the new stance/ride puts the tsock ride to shame. love the way she looks. new found power isnt that noticeable... maybe i need a bigger chip?[duhhh] thanks again for the help, very happy with the outcome[roll]

for 3 hrs. i think it was worth it. nice meeting your sea drive, and mark thanks for lendinga hand here and there. [laugh]

[pgcountycop]

Well i guess but i don't know what i can do, we can pull it and have a look at it.
Dean i have all the fittings to complete your big line kit.

[gies]

Scott -
I might talk to you too about one of those big line set-ups.

[getblown5.9]

anyone going to the pull saturday in chestertown? trying to decide if i should drag my trailer down, or leave it home and find another way home if i break

[bootsdodgejn]

well i would go to the cave to try to put my stack on but i dont have the rest of the parts have to wait till peters opens back up monday

[scottsjeeprolet]

Boots let me know when you are ready to put it on.
I won't be around Sunday going to the game!![coffee][roll][coffee]
Look for me on the big screen i'll be wearing purple.[duhhh]

[skynyrd]

i'm sure we will see you!

[scottsjeeprolet]

So T.J tell us how ya did Sat?
And what up coming pulls do you have planned?
Did anyone do anything fun this weekend?

[biggerkin]

Helped some guy put a hottub base together....LOL[laugh][laugh][laugh]

[getblown5.9]

I won saturday night at Chestertown, 321'-8" tho the sled broke at the end of my class with 4 fords left to pull...

it was prolly my best pull ever with a perfect launch, but the clutch is starting to give up the ghost after last weeks debacle...

anyway i can somewhat drive it, so i will bring it to the cave tomorrow and drop it off.

scott if you can let me into the cave i will rip the tranny out of it and inspect the clutch tomorrow...i should be able to do it in about 2 hours now. maybe i will get lucky and peter at south bend can fix or replace whats broke this week and i will still be able to pull on saturday night at mason dixon HAHA.

[skynyrd]

hey tj i'll come up and give you a hand pulling your tranny. i'll try to be home a little after 5pm

[getblown5.9]

i gotta call peter tomorrow, see what his recommendation is.

if he says to pull it and inspect it then i wanna get it out tomorrow night, scott said the cave is available.

[scottsjeeprolet]

Hey Mark this is what we gotta do to your little race car.
http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/showthread.php?t=170603

[b4wheeler]

Scott, How was the game..... I am going to the Dec 30 game and staying in the Suntrust skybox......I wish I could get you in......../:(

[06 DIESEL]

TJ, if you are pulling it let me know and I will give you a hand also. I went to the race yesterday, I need to see the highlights because that last wreck was huge and it was hard to tell what happened amongst all of the carnage. I will post the link to my photobucket after work when I upload the picts.

[MTC]

Anybody that was up Chestertown on Sat know what the white '05(?) Duramax was running??? That thing sounded like it was going to self destruct, but if I remember correctly, it pulled around 330'.

[getblown5.9]

was the street diesel class also started 25'-30' short of the original starting line?

i remember his pull and he was the only person in that class to go past the "300 foot" mark but i dont know if the sled was starting at 0' or -30' ???

I know for the open diesel class they started the sled back farther, and I went 321'-8" and everyone said the sled was almost up to the original 300' marker

[getblown5.9]

here is my pull from saturday night...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr33L4hvm0U

and my truck on the dyno last weekend at the open house

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUiI7IthtlE

[Sea:\>Drive]

Sorry I never made it by Sat. Helped my friend change the brakes on his wife's Hyundai (that took like 1/2 an hour) then "the girls" went shopping and left us boys home to drink beer and did some work on the boat (fixing all my scratches from 3 years worth of boating, gelcoat repair is easy). Sunday spent all day building a set of doors for a shed like thing I have in the yard that I need to lock pool chemicals in because of wife's daycare. I'm spent! I worked hard all darn weekend. Glad to be back at work where I can rest [tapdshut]

[getblown5.9]

Scott, I will be up around 5 to do the job that I think everyone dreads...Peter said pull it, and get him some pics, gonna need a rebuild tho!

[skynyrd]

tj i'll try to be there around 530 or so

[getblown5.9]

I don't know if its going to happen tonight...im on 3 projects with all 3 customers barking up my tree wanting drawings, gonna be putting in some long hours tonight.

maybe tomorrow if i am lucky...

[skynyrd]

k just let me know what your plans are. my hands are ready to get dirty.

[matcopage]

I can't make any events this weekend due to my own Bday obligations but I plan on attending the dyno days....I am checkong calendars as we speak.

[skynyrd]

well happy early birthday

[MTC]

I got ya now on the starting line. That sled needs to be put out to pasture, it broke several times on Sat...

[getblown5.9]

it prolly just needs a good overhauling of the motor, trans, and drive line systems so its more reliable when throwing into gear to back it up.

[06 DIESEL]

Here is the link to my pictures from the race at Dover, man was that a great time. Can not complain, free tickets in the upper deck, free food, free beer, and a great time.

[bootsdodgejn]

so that pump will work on my truck cause i was reading info on the holly site and from what i saw it was only for gas engines
sure would the pump be the prob cause i could not get abouve 40 miles an hour without it bogging down or could it be the fuel filter or the bio

[getblown5.9]

i think that bio killed your lift pump...hopefully it didnt hurt the vp44

[skynyrd]

scott knows the issue of the bio and fuel pumps.

[Sea:\>Drive]

Don't know about that knock-off of the Holley pump, but I'll tout a true Holley pump. I had a few good months out of my stock pump, then I replaced it with a campaign pump, issues after a few months, replaced once again with a holley Black (no Blue's in stock the day I sent my wife to buy it) - no more issues, at all. Rock steady pressure all the time. Don't know a thing about the bio though, I only use #2 in mine.

[bootsdodgejn]

well il bee getting the pump but i have no way of getting it anywere i aint trying to drive anymore

It was for Rick, but he has now found the place to be. [guitar] I will only pay for work on my truck if I can not do it, or we can not do it. My theory is if I won't let you drive my truck why pay you to wrench on it, it's like paying for tail and it being your wife/gf.[laugh]

That's next Satuday the 13th. Anyone else going?.

I think next saturday is the 6th, are you going on the 6th or the 13th?

[bootsdodgejn]

hey scott is there any place in the area that sells those pumps cause if there is i can buy one today (friday) and some how get my truck to the cave after work

[scottsjeeprolet]

Hey Boots check your local auto parts stores to see if they the Holley Blue in stock. You don't need the regulator if they charge you extra for it. It might come with it.

[paroxysym]

of course the gauges will be here monday and not today, otherwise id say im game for cave time. i know mark wants to muffler off my truck scott so if he wants it i suppose stopping over and swapping those wouldnt be a bad idea.

[getblown5.9]

Boots, Maryland performance specialties on Bel Air Rd. in Perry Hall carries all kinds of fuel pumps, look them up on yahoo or something and call them, they are only about 10 minutes from scotts.

also, i dunno how much bio you burned, but get to a station and get some #2 in that thing, the more you can dillute that bio the better the truck will run for now.

[bootsdodgejn]

yea i know that but i cant even get above 20 in that thig and it spotterying

[Sea:\>Drive]

Call Maryland Performance. That is where I found my Holley Black in stock when I bought it. Reasonable prices too.

Looks like I'm headed to RennFest on the 6th with a few boating buddies as the rest of the weekends have plans (plus that is Octoberfest weekend so more [coffee]). So if anyone plans on going, maybe I'll see you there!

My Saturday is booked with party after party, so Sunday will be recoup day [yuk]

[skynyrd]

yes i'm still out here and alive. no new Gf just been busy with work lately. new muffler came in so i guess some time we'll have to mess with that but i kinda want to pull all the pipes and paint them to get rid of the surface rust. i think it looks like **** right now. i'll be in square head country this weekend at my sister's place.

[bootsdodgejn]

well since i dont have time to go to a auto parts store im just going to go through my school to get the pump proboly get a discount lol

[dhughe2]

scott, what time are you thinking of turning wrenches

[scottsjeeprolet]

So you want to finish off the big line kit?
Make it 1ish.

[bootsdodgejn]

hey scott if i do get the pump i wont be able to get there till 6 630 if i can get the truck there would that be too late

[scottsjeeprolet]

Boots give me a call later before coming over. I should be here. haven't decided whether or not i'm going to the sled pulls tonight.

hey scott i did that crank but no start when i got home to see how the pump sounded but it didnt stay on for that 20 sec it tried to turn over 3 times then stoped

[scottsjeeprolet]

hey scott i did that crank but no start when i got home to see how the pump sounded but it didnt stay on for that 20 sec it tried to turn over 3 times then stoped

So when you bump the starter you don't hear the LP or Holley running?
Check your connections @ the LP and make sure everything is making a good connection. Also check for leaks @ the Holley and get your hands on those gauges and get them put on.

Boots the problem with your myspace is you change your screen name about every other day. nobody knows who you are.[dummy]
I'll check my schedule to do your gauges.

I have a myspace. www.myspace.com/travishoene I just never check it, or rarely check it anyway. I also do not know how to change any of it, so it is going to stay like it is.[dummy]

The fall brawl looks like it could be fun. I can probably do the 21st too. I have to blow off a kids halloween party, but I think I can get away with that. What do folks bring to share to these things? The other thread said something about a cook out type thing? Times the chapter is leaving, from usual spot? Details, I need details.

[fiveology]

I am going the 21st, if you guys want to meet up and follow me, I have been there a few times. Keith, the club (Mason-DixonTDC, I am a member there too) has a large grill, everyone just brings some sort of grill item, or a covered dish or dessert.

If anyone is planning on dynoing, we should get there early, I usually leave around 0700. I want to dyno, who else?

For those who are considering going, you shouldn't miss it. Tons of cool trucks, very nice people, and big dyno numbers, what else could you possibly want.

Thanks, Scott, it was the isolator, had almost no fluid in it.

[scottsjeeprolet]

So here is one for all you enganears out there.
i gotta fill a space 31"x67"x7". how many bags of 80# concrete will it take. It's for the hot tub, think i'm just gonna fill the base with concrete.

[06 DIESEL]

.31 CY of concrete. I am not sure how much is in a 80# bag. For a 6" slab you need 12 - 80# bags. Got that off there sight.

I showed off your pictures at work. They were also amazed that the front end held up so well.

[getblown5.9]

I dunno about fall brawl, ill let you know when it gets closer.

I'm kinda tired of everything right now, everyday something new on the truck goes wrong, I wanna get my jeep on the road now cuz i dont even like driving my truck anymore. Not to mention that I prolly gonna have a lawsuit on my hands and insane insurance rates soon. I got really addicted to the power, and pulling etc and i think i just need to step away for awhile and take care of some things.

Hey Scott, count me in for the 13th. I've never been before so don't really know what to expect, just heard from other friends about the beverages and such [coffee] and something about turkey legs? [duhhh]

Are ther any camping areas near there that you know of?

[BigErksG2]

Sounds good, there is a chance I might have my truck back by then, but I am not crossing my fingers.

Travis, you doing ok?

I showed off your pictures at work. They were also amazed that the front end held up so well.

I'm fine, not even sore at all. I can honestly say that between the seat belt and hitting the pole where I did it probibally saved my life.

The body shop could not believe that I went through a pole, they thought I was kidding until I showed them the pictures. I am not sure if you saw the pictures from at the tow yard or not. There is a sub folder in the wreck folder, check it out if you have yet to see them. The truck stil runs fine and drives also, I probibally could have drove it home.

[Sunir]

Man TJ and Travis, so sorry to hear what happened :( I swung by Len's office today and he showed me the pics online. The good thing is that you guys are ok, and looks like the trucks can be fixed and are not as bad as they could have been. Wish a speedy recovery for you guys and your trucks.

So seems like the next fun event could be Fall Brawl...read about it in the post, seems like a good event. How far is it from us? who's going so far? Dunno if I'd do the dyno or anything like that, maybe it'd be fun to hang out and spectate the goings on....

Thanks Scott, looks like a good time, count me in. One question though, you don't get all dressed up for this do ya, cuz if you do I am NOT going.

[lukedaemon]

My Family and I went to the Renfest Sept 23. I was a great time.

Travis "men in tights" hmmm. Pass!! [laugh] I am with you man. Most of the folks there don't dress up. I have dressed before for a wedding that was a Renfest theme.

Time for work for me.

Peace Ya'll!!

[bootsdodgejn]

darn i can never get ahead now the hole top side of my engen is wet from fuel hoping we just didnt tighten the lift pump all the way. ill be checking what it is tommrow mornin lol

[scottsjeeprolet]

I told you to check it when you got home Sat night.[dummy]
I didn't put the LP back in i was too [coffee] to be touching tools, thanks Mark![duhhh]

[bootsdodgejn]

lol thing was i did check it (tight) when im at a light it sounds like its cammed i looked under the hood it looked like it was an injector line

[getblown5.9]

its def an injector line if its running like its cammed up big time...i left one loose once, the pressure leaks out and never pops the injector off...runs on 5 holes!

[bootsdodgejn]

well ur right tj it was 2 injector lines lol but its fixed now i got to get rid of the smell in my cab from having on the heat and ac lol lol. Hey tj did u go out with ur bud bar hopin

[getblown5.9]

yea i went out for a bit, getting ready to hit the hay now

[skynyrd]

anything going on this sunday scott?

[BigErksG2]

get this.... talked to a local diesel shop up here in the sticks and asked them how much it would be for them to put my valve springs on. they charge 80 bucks an hour, i was thinking maybe 4 hours tops for a good mechanic to do it so lets say 320 bucks. went up there today and they were talking about takin the whole head off, gettin it shaved and tested for another 150 bucks, putting a STOCK head gasket back on and sending me on my way (not to mention it would be at least 8 hours of labor). looks like ill be takin the head off myself this winter and doin o-rings and studs instead of twins :(
BOOOOOOOO!!!!

[skynyrd]

give me a shout i'll lend you a hand doing it. you can do the springs with out pulling the head. you can also do studs with out pulling the head.

[getblown5.9]

here is my suggestion eric...

if you want to do o-rings, and a better gasket this winter...hold off on the springs and do them then, its much easier and if you still have a stock turbo now, you dont need the springs yet.

this winter ill take the head off for ya and we can take it to a good machine shop that knows high performance cummins and have them check it, ring it, and put the springs on for ya.

[BigErksG2]

well im doin the 4kgsk at fall brawl but ill just have to keep it below 3k til i get the springs done at least ill have fuel til 3k and not 2k. how much do you think it would be to check, ring and spring (i have springs i just need them installed) the head? I might just go down this road so i dont have to worry about my head gasket in the future and the twins will have to wait til summer although fabbing twins keeps me up at night like waiting for christmas!

[06 DIESEL]

Update on my truck.

I will know more on Monday, but after talking to them today it is NOT totaled. Repair estimates are pushing $20,000 to date. They have it torn down, checking the frame and shell for damage. Frame appears fine but not 100% sure yet. It looks like there is about 30 days of work on it, so I am not getting it back this month :( Here is a link to the pictures as it sits today.

Scott, since I got married I have this problem with commitment. It's only been 12 years, I'm still a little gun shy. There is nothing on the calender but that means nothing, I'm always the last to know.

so scott TST came in today!! i want to put it on but i also want to dyno with the hot juice/ez stack i'm so torn.

Just install the TST but don't hook it up. Do that on the Dyno day.

[skynyrd]

well i might install it and run it around for a while to see the difference

[Sea:\>Drive]

Torn? Come on...if TJ can swap injectors between dyno runs, you can swap a box can't you?[laugh][laugh][laugh]

[skynyrd]

yeah but dynoing on brett's dyno is a little less expensive than at fall brawl

[getblown5.9]

its the same price LOL

[skynyrd]

yeah but how many spins did you do on bretts dyno?

[biggerkin]

Agree with Scott install it then hook it up at the dyno. Check your MS.[director][director]:o:o

oh it will be hooked up by then! reading the distructions now!

We could make this an annual type club get together, maybe we can get some t-shirts made with the DTR club logo or something. Just thinking out loud [duhhh].

Went last week during Oktoberfest! Had a great time, and drank way too much. Need to go buy another pair (3rd pair this year) of sunglasses. I don't do too well with sunglasses and barley pop, they just don't go together well for me...Have fun all.

[06 DIESEL]

The insurance company is going to replace two of my tires because they are scarred bad from the accident. I am just going to go ahead and replace all four with new tires so I do not have uneven wear on half of them. I am looking for a good all-terain tire that has little to no road noise. I do not have the $$$ right now for a leveling kit so they have to tuck on the factory rims and not rub. Will a 305/70-75/17 work? Anyone know where I should get them from that has a sale currently? I do not really need to have anything bought before the middle of November because they are going to have it until Thanksgiving. :o I will post up more details when I get home but I would like info on this soon.

Thanks
Travis

[fiveology]

Travis, Pro Comp is running their buy 3 get 1 free deal though the end of the month. It should be good at any Pro Comp dealer as it is a national promotion. If you can find a local Pro Comp dealer so you don't have to pay shipping, you should save some coin with this deal.

[getblown5.9]

Can anyone tell me a good decent truck shop local that will have parts like 4-5" reducers, 5" 90-degree elbows, 4" flex-pipe, and possibly chrome stacks too?

[getblown5.9]

Travis, the Nitto Terra Grappler is a nice tire that comes in a 295 size, little smaller than a 33, and should fit with minimal rubbing until you can get a leveling kit.

You can get all 4 shipped to your door for $805 from 4 wheel parts right now... so if insurance buys two...that would be a good deal.

Thanks, I have found several websites and reviews of the all terrain tire. Sounds like a good tire, not for the big question, will a 33/12.50R17 fit with out rubbing or minimal until I can get a leveling kit. I found one site that I can get all four shipped for $474 after insurance pays their part.

Thanks, I found a few other sites that also have them, but none as cheap as 4 wheel parts. Is this the tire that your dad has? These would cost me $612 after insurance pays their part.

I am not sure between the two, thanks guys for the quick responses. I am going to beat on the Insurance company and see about them paying for all four and full cost for the factory replacement which is $914, so I could really come out smelling like a rose on this deal. I might even be able to afford the leveling kit after this if they pay for all four factory replacement tires.[laugh]

[scottsjeeprolet]

Travis you can get a leveling kit for <$100 on Ebay.

[06 DIESEL]

Travis you can get a leveling kit for <$100 on Ebay.

Why did you have to tell me that, I now have a set on the way.[duhhh]

[skynyrd]

well there is a pro comp dealer right up at 136 and route 1 harford tire i got my 35" 12.5 for 208 a tire so if you got the shop to pay for 2 then you could only have to pay for one and get the other one free. if you ordered them today you can call and cancel them. just make sure to call them tomorrow morning

[bootsdodgejn]

Thanks Rick, I do not have the $$$ to replace both the rims and tires currently and they are replacing two of the rims (including the one bad one from before hehe) and I like the factory look. I just want to get new tires. How do you like the Nitto Terra Grapplers? They look good on your truck but I am still undecided on tires. I am leaning towards the Pro-Comp all terrain tire since they have a 50k warranty and ore buy 3 get 1 so I technically only have to replace one then hehe. I am currently dealing with the insurance company on replacing four instead of two. Hopefully I can come ou tof this smelling like a rose (except for my raised premium).

Travis, I like the Nitto tires. I have been running them over 6 mos and they seem to be a good solid tire. They don't scream going down the road.

I got the tires for about $150 piece @ Auto & Truck Outfitters in White Marsh. Wheels were about $180. I just called them and price of the tires: $169. I think I caught tires on sale, if I recall. They have others as well there. I like dealing local when I can. 410-918-9600 ask for TJ. He took good care of my truck.

Might also check with Grumpy, he knows a place as well. Most of the folks had street trucks he dealt with though.

Good Luck

TJ, Peters Truck Equipment in Forest Hill will have everything you need. They are in the Forest Hill Air Park off W. Jarrettsville Rd.

Im finally putting my stacks on this weekend got most of my stuff from www.airflow.com got the 5" mitre stacks from mandrell bending solutions in pasadena.

And the mod list to be installed after I get the rig back grows. :D I have a leveling kit and 2" rear spacers, so basically I have a 2" lift on the way. Ordered the stacks tonight. Gooseneck ball is going to be ordered tonight or tomorrow. I am getting upgraded nerf bars since the body shop will not deal with e-bay, where I got them from. Darn I get Westin Platimun instead of cheap e-bay one's and isn't costing me any more. [laugh] I just need to sell the shell so that the stacks and hitch can be put in, when I get it back. I am also going to get Pro-Comp Xtreme A/T 33/12.50R17, ordering them in the AM. I guess that the rig is going to be changing a little bit after I get her back.:D I think we are going to need a day in the cave for all of these mods. I will keep everyone posted on progress of her.

Later

Well, knocked out the VP44 last night with the help of a buddy up here. 3.5 hours to get her back together. Problem is, she still has an occasional buck under load. Check engine light still on. Going to limp over to the local parts place to use their scanner. About sick of this crap...

Weren't all your previous codes related to the Injection Pump? Sorry to hear of your troubles man. Let us know what codes you find, and post over in the 2nd Gen section, there are a few Dodge and/or Cummins techs over there that may be able to help as well.

Yeah, everything I read pointed to the VP44 only. Talked with Jetpilot and he confirmed all of this months ago. I believed (and perhaps still did have) a slowly dying VP. We'll see what I pull off tonight. Perhaps I have the Perfect Storm situation where everything is going to crap!

Well Jason might as well pierce the pump. What the heck.[duhhh]
You coming to the Fall Brawl?

To all who are going to the Rennasiance festival Sat we will be leaving my house at 11A.M sharp. [coffee]:o:o[coffee]

[gies]

Well, my NEW (and warrantied) VP is not going to get pierced until/unless I have other transportation. Checked codes and I no longer have any of the dead VP codes but looks like I also need a TPS.[yuk] How much fun!?
I don't know about fall brawl yet Scott, Hell, I would just like to get to the cave. Between the heater core/evap, brakes, tires, VP and now TPS, my wallet hurts.
Thanks for listening!
