One of the guys that worked with me got a ticket and had to pay it for "Believe this" 52 in a 50 zone. If that ain't crazy!!

We can all meet at the Wal Mart parking lot. Get your NEwcastle or other adult beverages BEFORE entering Union county or you'll be outta luck! I'l have time to get the ski boat ready and in the lake. Also some great logging roads if anyone want to bring a four wheeler.

Hey Abby, go ahead and post that in the meeting thread also. Thanx.

FD, your buddy has a legitimat case against the cop who gave him the ticket. By state law, an officer cannot give a ticket under I think 3-5mph or something like that, due to factory tolorances in spedometers.

Natchez Trace is federal, this was several years ago.

We made it to the second page. Whats up with that crap?

[director] NEWCASTLE!

Now just wait for the roll-call. [coffee]

Yeh tell me about it Dmax!!!! This is the 2nd time it's happened to us in the last month. Looks like we need to light a fire under some people's hind ends and get them to start speaking up.[laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

I've been so busy reading and thinking ... who's got time to post anything? LOL

Oh, did I foget to mention that I've had a lot of non-truck stuff on my mind lately too? LIke how to pay the bills when I take the EARLY RETIREMENT PLAN on May 31... [coffee]

Lately I've been studying on the net and under the hood, looking for ways to keep my injection pump cool. I've got several ideas I want to try before I replace that thing under the hood that keeps sending P0216 codes to my Smarty. :o

I want to ensure that the next vp44 outlasts the first two!

Oh yeah - who has the best deal on the best vp44?
Is there anything in between "stock" and HotRod vp44? I don't want a lopy idle. My wife will figure that one out REAL QUICK! [dummy]

[guitar] I'll supply the rock 'n roll [guitar] We can have us a big grillin too I'll try to get several slabs o ribs and chops.

I posted maps on the meeting link.

Sure is good to see some of the members here get ctive again!!! I can't say about the VP Tim, I'm sure there are levels of performance just as with the P7100 and CP3. Just have to look I guess.

bumpity bump bump

Good morning HappyGa.

hey Prospector,

How are you doing man?

Gettin' better, but waaay too slow!

I've got a lot to do and WANT to work on my truck; but still only able to do a little bit at a time. [eyecrazy]

Hey Tim. I sure know that feeling. I wonder how some really afford the mods they do. Sure as heck can't be a working stiff like me with normally empty pockets.

Actually I was talking about my injuries/recovery; I'm phsyically able to work just a little at a time before my foot swells up or just plain hurts.

But now that you mention it, yeah, parts are expensive; and in less than 2 months I'll be retiring (unemployed, too young to collect pension benefits).

You know I've seriously thought about selling a stake in the truck just to get the money to finish it. But who would want to do it. LOL!!!!

I'll volunteer Dmax for that one.

[coffee]

He'd have the time if we could just get the women to leave him alone. Hmmmmm............I wonder how we could do that?

Put him on a boat with StreetSmoker.

I don't want to punish him, just get him away from the women.[laugh]

Actually, your sypmathy is misdirected.
You should be more concerned with how it might affect all those poor women who would be "punished" indirectly.

[dummy]

[coffee]

Thank you prospector! Thats right. Ridding society of me, the female part in particular, would be a terrible thing to do to them! I dont know if the women of the mid south area could function with out me now. I dont know what it is about them, but they hang around with me for a couple hours and its like they fall in love just that quick! Some its ok, others I just have to tell them, "hit the road"!:cool:

No, you see Dmax. Your not that good, they're just that desperate, and they know you have no commitment issues because you have been married before and been treated like garbage, so they're motherly instinct kicks in and they just want to take care of poor little ole' Dmax.[laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [coffee]


Sometimes I crack me up!!!!

Yeah, they can be like flies hanging around a garbage truck.
Come to think of it your truck DOES kinda sound like a garbage truck.
It's not YOU they want. It's the truck!

[coffee]

ROFLMAO!!!!!![laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Finnally dropped Ol'Smokey off @ the body shop today. But I'm having trouble deciding on the color. Should I go back with white as original or switch to Slap Yo Mamma Red?

I've always been partial to Dark Sherwood Forest Green Metallic but I also like the bright copper metallic. So many colors, so little time. (Sigh)

Go for hot pink; give Dmax some competition in drawing the wimen.
[coffee]

Have any of you ever actually seen any of these "women" Dmax supposedly has? Sounds to me he is blowing more smoke than his truck does. I tried to tell him that girl wasn't smiling at him, she was LAUGHING at him. BIG difference there Dmax.

That just ain't right.

I've never seen any of them BUT, the humane society has stopped calling me for donations. Hmmmmm..........(It's not much fun picking in him when he's not here)

at the dyno day he was acting like he was talking to soem women outside on his cell, might have been his momma checkin on him to make sure he got there okay.

That is much more likely, well that or his sister.

I think we need to hold an MSDTR Club intervention for Dmax[roll] !!!!!!

I agree, i say we make it a wrench day and make, oops, i meant let him work on our trucks. that will get his mind back to where it needs to be. I got some air horns I am ready to install, adn hey, we can drop the trans and put in a Goerend.s triple disk while we are a little dirty.. lol

While we are at it, maybe we could stuff a new injection pump in my truck, along with about a half-dozen other projects.

And I'll need a GDP bigline kit installed by then also!!!

This maybe out of place but when is the TS event an bowlin green? I could have sore it was the end of april but I forget anything if I don't write down.

The TS event is a little later this year. May 11th & 12th.

Hello.......................................hello. ..................hello.............hello......... ..hello......hello..........hello



Is there an echo in here?

NO.........NO..........NO.............NO.......... ....NO.........no

How you doing?

Finally decided on dark metalic grey. I'm also leaning toward a set of 34x10.50x16 LTB's. Hopefully she will be ready by the next meet.

I'm good.

You ever get the death brake wobble fixed yet Ben?

yawn, man mondays suck...

Yeah, well most of it. I think what I have left is being caused by my tires, so cross your fingers for me. I hope the 315/75 R16 Buckshots that will be here tomorrow will fix it.

Looks like you'll soon have a potential TOM candidate on your hands.

Just getting us off the bottom of the page.

Where is everyone?

I don't know Ben, you tell me???????? Sure hope they liven up here soon when the meeting comes around.

ugh, another monday..

Right here, reading the topic regularly - just haven't had much to say lately.

Well I have some great news!!!! [director]

My approval letter for the K-1 Fiance visa for Lyn was sitting in the mail when I got home tonight. Which meens it's all downhill from here. Soon they will forward all paperwork to the USA embassy in Manila and from there she will get her appointment for medical check and the final interview at embassy.

Congrats SS, and you're right. It's all downhill from here.[laugh] [tapdshut]

Congrats SS, and you're right. It's all downhill from here.[laugh] [tapdshut]
ROFLMAO

Congrats SS!

[coffee]

Heading to the track right now!!! They run at MMP from 6pm till 10pm. I'll report as soon as I get some results.

Best of the night:

12.51@110.16mph (much room for improvement!)



My thoughts and observations on how things went at the track after I get some sleep. See yah tomorrow.

My thoughts and observations on how things went at the track after I get some sleep. See yah tomorrow.
That's still faster than most! Just a little tuning and you're in the 11's.[roll]

Ok this may take a while so pull up a chair, grab a cold one and have a seat.


1st, every one knows I'm on stock street tires. Well, while on the gas the only way to get the full benifit is to pull the ABS fuse to get a better pull on the top end of around 113-114mph. Well, when I pull the fuse it also deletes any and all torque management. So there was no way for me to leave the line with any kind of boost or she'd just spin like crazy, so anything gained on the top of the track was totally outweighed in the loss of time in the 60ft.

So, put the fuse back in deal with the top speed limiter and see what she'll do, right?...................................Well, not exactly. You see, untill I used the gas last night I never really felt the torque management kick in. BUt holly cow did I ever feel it then. It almost feels like a over rich gass burner trying to bog at the line for a split second then it all comes in and she scoots. Then when it hits 2nd it would sometimes spin for about 10 feet. Sometimes more. sometime less, but it allways did spin a little at about the 100ft mark. And of course, with about 200ft of track left it would start laying down cause of the speed limiter/fuel cutoff.

This all at the track where is was a litle slower than usual, there wasn't much time for trying different launches or tunes, had more fuel than I normally do on race night, and I didn't pull the taligate, one of the batteries and spare tire which by itself usually gains me a full 10th at least.

SS, Gimme a holler when you plan to go to the track.
I'd love to watch, and heck, I could even turn the crank to lower that spare!

I only have to work 4 more Thursday nights .. then I'll be able to stay out as late as I want to. For now, I'm working 8pm-midnight.

Do you still have my cell #?

I thought you had the slicks located.

Sure Tim. They have a Midnight Madness event tonight if yur game? Wasn't planning on going but I can if you wanna tag along. I don't have your tel# though.

Trad, I do have them located but they are on my "wish" list due to lack of funds[laugh]

OK, I'll bet the slicks alone will put you into the 11's!

I'll have to pass on the midnight madness this time - but that would be great just about any other time.

My foot is hurtin too much to do much of anything tonight, and I have to get up early tomorrow to haul stuff over to my daughter's place for the "yard sale".

OK, I'll bet the slicks alone will put you into the 11's!


If not it would be dangerously close!!! With the problems I'm having rite now between needing the tq management on stock tires and not needing it on the top end, I'm loosing at least 3tenths in the 60ft and another 10th or so at the end of the track.

John, what would happen if you pulled the fuse while the truck was running? If there were no ill effects you could just put a switch on the dash and turn it off when you were at half track.

John, what would happen if you pulled the fuse while the truck was running? If there were no ill effects you could just put a switch on the dash and turn it off when you were at half track.

I have seriously considered that, but I allready have so much stuff running thru the firwall as it is. That, and I don't realy know how to rig it up. Maybe someone can show me at the meeting.

Taht sounds like a good plan. I'd be happy to wire it for you Street.

Hey, have I got story for you guys!!!!!! But sadly not a good one[verymad] [verymad] [verymad]


Boy howdy, when it rains, it sure does pour!!!! Found out today after my debit card was denied at the filling station for $50 worth of #2 that some lame freakin' yahoo somehow got ahold of my card # and ran up $1300+ worth of charges, and overdrew the account by $450. Someone in Cali. flying to and staying in Mexico at a real nice hotel booked on Priceline.

Lukily the bank manager says I should get all of it back, however I had to cancell the current account, and open a new one. Which sucks bad cause now I have to resubmit all my direct drafts and deposits. Tomorrow I also have to call the credit bureaus and get them to flag my name for possible fraud. Hoping against everything that all they got was the card# and no other personal stuff.[verymad] [verymad] [verymad] [verymad] [verymad] [verymad]

Man, that sux! [verymad]

Yeahhhhhh it do.

Yeh, I got a thread detailing it over in "Other/General Discussion".

It was good to see everyone at the meeting yesterday.

Yeah Street, I'm sure that means a lot to the other guys that were there. But I know that everyone that sees ME is glad, so it kind of goes without saying.[laugh]

OK guys, with the last meeting well behind us its time to get the discussion thread up and going again. So lets keep it alive and well.

The next meeting: When & where?

Hey, what gives??? Dmax gets a new getto fabulous 5" exhaust and I have to find out about it in 3rd Gen Perf Forum???[dummy]

I need a muffler...................BAD![duhhh]

:confused: Is he going soft on us? [nonono]

You would think so. I LOVE LOUD but this thing will get on your nerves. You cant lay junk on the dash board because it vibrates off and ends up in the floor due to the vibration from the drone!

DMaxEter- Try the AeroTurbine muffler that has the resonator. Look up Aeroturbine in the net, I got mine from a dealer in north Alabama. I'm real happy with it.

afternoon folks...

I'm new to DTR, and glad to see there is a DTR chapter for MS. I've been lurking and sifting through this thread (and many, many others) since I traded my gasser for diesel this past January. I admit... I haven't read all 89 pages of this thread... yet... ;), but I did cover the first and last ten and a few in the middle -- eventually, i'll get to the rest.

One thing I'd like to applaud all of you for... your willingness to help, suggest, and offer feedback. -- I'm astonished how much good info you guys have left for reading and research -- great stuff . I, (like many of you) am a member of a few "other" forums... but this one is a step-above the rest.

Really looking forward to transforming my current stock rig into beast its capable of being based on all the good information and suggestion found here in your messages (and your sigs)

so... what's the latest on the next meet for MSDTR?? [whistle]

HAHA, I get to be the first! Welcome Slangnasty! Where are you located exactly?

Yeh, O'town??? Oxford??? And, sorry Dmax I was 1st to pop this cherry!!!! Thru PM's[laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Well, im not ashamed to welcome him in a public forum. You had to do yours in a private forum![dummy]

Well looky who's talking time away from the flavor of the month.[laugh]

I have found my new wife. All I got to say is older women are SO much more mature! Shes great so far. Nothing serious, just getting to know each other now. She WILL be at the next meet with me though!

Uh oh!!!!!!!![tapdshut][laugh]

thanks for the welcome gents. o-town=oxford is correct.

Nice to see some new blood. Welcome to #31 and DTR there Slangnasty

Best thing in this thread is to just jump in head 1st and if you start to drown, thats fine cause someone will eventually come along and rescue you.

Thanks much... btw... what's with the GG in your signature? Are you involved w/ Gieco?

DTR's 1st Official GG (Geico Groupie) Nothing to do with insurance, just another member, Geico266. It's kind of a running gag.

i see. thanks for clarifying.

Shifting topics... I read in an earlier post on this thread about a meet/n/greet at 4wheelparts.

Anyone here dealt much with the one in Memphis? I saw mention of a disc:ount in the same post. I've considered visiting them for new wheels and tires... maybe lift purchase/installation-- discounts will definitely sweeten the deal. However, I am curious what you guys think about'm. Would you or do you do business with them? If not there, where? Online? I am looking/planning for the mods i see most of you have already completed (lift ~3/4.5, 18" wheels, 37" tires, exhaust, air intake, programmer (juice w/a2), etc...

thanks,
slang

Nasty, I've dealt with 4wheelparts, but not recently. They were always real helpful when I was in there. I've yet to go to there new location. As for wheels and tires, Abbynormal just got some. He figured out a way to get them a little cheaper, so if he doesn't poke his head in here soon send him a pm.

welcome slangnasty.

It seems like our thread over in chapter 34 land is dying out. Just curious if anyone is planning on heading up to Indy for the Nationals or going to Schied's Extravaganza? I know it'll be a good drive from down there, just thought I'd ask.

When is IRP? I would like to go but as of yesterday there is a fire that I MUST go put out in Oklahoma soon so I may have to save my money for that trip instead!

thanks much. hopefully abbynormal will have some good info to share.

June 2nd and 3rd for IRP. I went last year. It was pretty cool. Schied's is in August. I heard Schied's was supposed to be really awesome. Some liked it better than IRP. It'd be a haul for you guys. I think it was like right at 5 hours from Nashville.

I buy alot of stuff from 4wheel Parts. If they know you are gonna spend mega bucks over the long haul, they will usually cut you a pretty good deal. I deffinately like the in-person deals at the store instead of the catalog sales. Only problems I've ever had was with the phone sales dept.

Dang. Around the first part of June is when I am supposed to go put out that fire I think? I will have to see what she says and go from there. How far is it from Memphis to OKC? [roll]

I think Dmax is jumping off the deep end. [dummy]

thanks street, two good reports is good enough. I'll check'm out.

I figure the next meeting can start to be discussed. I won't be off the boat till July 23rd. Then, soon after I'll be heading back to the Philippines to finally bring Lyn back. So we can put the out there for a target date to throw around.

So will the location-poll be reactivated? Or are the locations fixed to those currently listed?

Given the Mid-South heat in July/August, would we plan for an evening gathering or something a little later to "beat-the-heat"?

Funny you ask. The poll is an old relic from when I had this and another thread merged. But the mods messed up and merged the original dicussion thread with the meeting w/poll thread instead of the otherway around. And they couldn't delete the poll from the title.

What we do is discuss the meetings here. When we get a general consensus, I then start a new "MSDTR Meeting" thread and do all the finalized planning there.

Happy Birthday to me. :D

Happy Birthday to me. :DHappy Birthday to you too!

Whatcha gonna do out there? I usually try to make it out that way at least once a year.

Whatcha gonna do out there? I usually try to make it out that way at least once a year.

Fairplay Burro Days in Fairplay, last weekend in July; Gold Panning Championship in Breckenridge the next weekend. We'll be in our timeshare condo at Grand Timber Lodge in Breckenridge for the week.

Airfare and rental cars are expensive, and since I'll be retired (unemployed), I'll drive the truck out there early, pick up the wife at the airport, and drive back whenever.

I'll be taking a longer vacation, visiting friends, etc.

Well, I dont think me and my buddies are allowed back at Many Islands on Spring River after last weekend. It was fun, but we payed and are still paying for it now!

court?? what's up with that?? You get caught racin???

I am gearing up for the move back South. Friday is my last day at my current job, then I will be back down in Waycross, GA. Yep, that is where the forrest fires are burning, but there is no threat to the city. The fires are in the Okefenokee swamp at this time.

I think it had something to do with about 80 in a 35. [dummy] But he wasn't racin and he was lucky becouse he was slowing back down. [laugh]

Good luck with your move Happy. Hope everything works out great for you.

SS and Prospector, I could meet for lunch on Fri. the 1st.

thanks much. hopefully abbynormal will have some good info to share.

Welocome aboard Slangnasty, hate you missed our last meet as it was close to you. What you trying to figure out? I bought a set of tires and wheels online from 4Wheel Parts got a great deal and very happy.

Yeh Billygoat has it about rite. Paying a lawyer $150 to get out of about $500 worth of tickets and increased insurance rates. Well worth it in my book!!!!!!!

Sounds good. Court starts at 9am. Should be out by noon.

When, where?
Somebody pick a place.

How bout your favorite. Silky O' Sullivan's. Sometime 'round 12:30 or 1pm. I'll be in downtown anyways. Might as well make it there.


Cell# 662-321-3058

Silky's is ok for me. what do you think, Billygoat?
(I see that you are the only local guy online right now.)

Well, we are getting real tight for a deadline and I brought leftovers to eat here in case I didn't go anywhere. There's no way I could get downtown and back today... so I'll just say maybe next time.

Well, I guess it's just me and you Tim. I'll try to bring Patric along also. I should be there about 1PM.

Can't say for sure whats gonna hapen with the tickets, we have to go back to the lawyer's office and run through a few things. Then I'll be heded that way.

Tickets? We?
I can't wait to hear The Rest of the Story. [nonono] [dummy]

HappyGA checking in from actually Georgia.. ahhh, heaven... Now my screen name is accurate.. lol

Holy cow!!!!!!!!!!! Dmax decided to show up and say a few words.[laugh] [laugh] [coffee]

it's okay patrick, I can sense the trembling in your voice, and the pain in your words that lack wisdom.. [laugh] I was being sucked dry by ole Bamie.. now I am back in a state that actually works for its people, and already getting calls from the company I left asking me to do contract work on the side.. This might be a very profitabble, BOMB filleed summer if I can reach terms with them...

Happy, although you are a little misguided in your thoughts on states I hope this change will be very profitable.

To those of you that might care there is a sled pull in Jackson this weekend. I would go but I'll be at the beach. Here's a link to the sled's website if you don't believe me. http://www.hillsled.com/id5.htm I've been to this one before and it's usually a good one.

The drought New Castle and converation was great. Thanks for the company Prospector!!!

Yep - it was a good visit. Too bad there weren't more of us there. LOL
I like Silky's, but I keep thinking we need to find a spot with a parking lot next time. Murphey's on Madison comes to mind, and I'm sure there are other spots we can explore.
Of course, I'm always ready to go to Silky's. ;)

Well, I made it back without being eaten by a shark. :cool: As for the tan, better get your sunglasses out, this white boy can't keep a tan more than a day or so. [redface] [laugh]

Nice to see everyone getting along so well while I was gone.:p

yeah, this one turned into a New Castle born and bread conversation. Well, Georgia is smokey. I am down here in Waycross now, which as some of you might know is where the wild fires originated down here. I am getting gearedup to start my volunteer firefighter training again like I started b4 moving to bama.

Good luck on the firefighter training. That should be alot of fun.
How big are the fires and where are they at now?

Hey Happy, Stomping out fire is FUN!!!!! I personally prefer to be the driver/operator but what ever needs to be done, im there! Its also a VERY good way to attract the womens! They love turn out gear for some odd reason? Oh yeah, something about women liking fire trucks and their hose beds? I dont know why they think like they do but they do and I am ok with it! [duhhh] :cool:

Billygoat, the fires are in excess of 300,000 acres now. You don't hear much about it because it is in mostly unpopulated south Georgia, and North Florida. The only time it was getting media coverage was when it was near thetown i live in now, Waycross, GA. It is now in the okefenokee Swamp and wetlands of North Florida, which makes it impossible to fight, because heavy equipment sinks in those types of terrains. So, all they can do is drop water on it, and keep an eye to see if it is going to move toward anyone's home.

Dmax, I hear yah on the fire trucks and gear. lol oddly enough, a firefighter got released down here about a year ago for letting a girl pose nude with just his jacket on with the fire stations name on it. lol

That's a pretty big fire. I remember hearing that it had moved into the swamp. Hopefully it won't make it out of the swamp.

Oh and don't forget to cover up the station names on your jacket.[laugh] And don't forget to share.[guitar]

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that Dmax is always talking about women and beat downs[director] yet we never see either one?[nonono]

So you're saying he has a whole lot of bark but no bite. [whistle]:cool:

Ok, Prospector proposes a meeting in Colorado at his fancy time share. Anyone else???[guitar] [coffee]

That's awful nice of prospector to fly us all out there. [roll]

No fly-ins at a DTR chapter meeting. You gotta bring your truck!
I'm driving to Colorado.

Just rent us http://thumb19.webshots.net/t/51/51/1/21/18/482212118usjkHq_th.jpg (http://news.webshots.com/photo/1482212118074900319usjkHq) and we'll all be happy to drive in from the airport.[coffee]

Rent that??
I've got a better idea. You run down to the Air Force Recruiting Office and sign up to be a cargo plane driver; then you can pick us all up. :)

I'd do it, but I've already done my 20 years & retired 17 years ago; and now I'm to old to re-up.

Ah, come on. You can never be too old, just lost yuor guts is all!!!!!!

What has happened to our club guys??? We're on the 2nd page!!!!

We really need to get this thing fired up again and set a date and place for our next meeting.

Well, in my adventures of meeting all these new womens, I have met a new friend. She is a great girl, has a few issues, but seems like she will be a good friend. She went to school with me and was a couple years ahead of me. The best thing about this new friend, SHE WORKS FOR CUMMINS!!!!! I already talked with her about a set of injectors!!!! Shes my new best friend! [guitar]

[laugh] THAT'S FUNNY RIGHT THERE, I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE..

Now, leave the chapter mechanic alone...

I was taking care of a few things around the house last night and decided that I needed to check the fluids in the jeep. All is well until I pull the fill plug on the transmission...out pours that nice milky substance known as gear oil and water[yuk] [yuk] [yuk]

So I drained it and pulled the pto cover as well as the top cover. Everything still looks as good as the day I put it in and the magnet had minimal shavings on it. Hopefully I avoid disaster.

So when is the next meeting guys?


Good luck with the Jeep there Billy Goatyj. Did you have pancake batter in the diffs too or just the trans?:o

Well, I guess seeing how nobody has relly made any suggestions I got to make an executive decission. Gonna be at my house on July 28th at 10:30AM. Dmax, T-rad and Abby all know where its at. I have plenty of parking and a big garage, so lets plan this as a wrenching party also. Hopefully you all will get to meet Lyn and she'll make lunch for everyone.

I know you guys have had this open a long time so I apologize in advance for doing this, but I need to close this thread. Once the post count gets this high on a thread, it tends to take up a lot of resources. Please feel free to start a new one and continue your conversation on the new thread. http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/showthread.php?p=1578221#post1578221
