Tony it's better now. Still cold and windy and tomorrow it's supposed to rain. I'm hoping to head up to abbot and get my front end replacement after I install my new turbo.

Mike, this turbo is pretty big. Definately bigger than my ksb-1.

... this turbo is pretty big. Definately bigger than my ksb-1.
Need side by side Pics! I'm sure there coming.

62/70....????????? What's the 70?
Looks like the standard S300 Compressor Volute... and all B-1's have a 62mm compressor wheel... but the PS is a lot newer wheel design/metalurgy so...??
Twin bypass ports, right?

Tyler, if you get a chance, please compare measurements on the two turbine volutes? Always wondered if the KSB-1 was roughly equal to a 12cm2 or not.

RJ

Don't worry. Pics are coming. I'm also getting my front bumper today as well. :D

Hey rowland, how did you rig the external wastegate up to not blow boost off when you put your hx 55 on? Don't know what the 70 means. Guess it's just industrial's way of numbering stuff. You should see the wastegate ports on this sucker. They are MASSIVE!! They really hogged this thing out. I'll get pics of the wastegate.

Hey Blue bumper looks good... Very familiar looking [laugh] Looks like a truck now!! [laugh] Did it squat the front of the truck some?? I never saw my truck without so?? I know another half chord of wood I have in the back will squat it a bit...

Nope. Didn't budge the front end an inch. When we took it off the other guy's truck it lifted his a good inch or so but mine never even flinched. Ya know, even with no front sway bar the front end still feels great. No extra sway or nothing. I'm very happy with it. Now it just needs to quit raining for a weekend so I can strip it down and paint it.

Nice bumper Tyler! Makes it look more like a REAL truck now! :)


In those turbo pics, is there something wrong with one of the fins on the older turbo? Looks like it is smashed flat or something on the right hand side about 2 to 3 o'clock in the pic.

Nah. Just a funky angle.

U going in ur bronco (or something?? I forget) or ATVing

I don't have the time, but I'll still lay a few runs on the DynoJet so I'll stop getting a hard time for posting the numbers from the Mustang... :rolleyes:

Hey anyone know why my truck sounds diff @idle after this new turbo..it seems louder than before. Almost like the clatter is more noticeable?

You didnt tighten up the idle noise bolt far enough??? [duhhh] [laugh]

I couldnt tell you on that one....only that the larger inducer on the turbo might be letting the engine growl sound from the intake be more pronounced?

Yeah, and no wisecracks about Joseph Smith either, guys! [nonono]

Good deal! I'm sure rjohnson will see this and let you know about the dyno availablity. If you plan on staying Saturday night, be sure to bring some camping gear.

No I won't be able to stay the night this month. I will just be down for the afternoon.

RJ

What time do we have to be at the dyno Saturday morning?

Know of any good BBQ places between Van Alstyne and Era? How about just any decent place to eat?

We can meet in Sedalia or Van Alstyne about 11:00 and have time to eat on the way to Era. Any thoughts...............?

I'd be interested in attending. How can I find out about getting my truck on the dyno too? I'd like to see if I'm at least putting out stock horsepower numbers for my truck.

Kevin - Just answered your PM. Will add you to the list above. Please confirm... if definate.

RJ

I'll most likely be there too. Maybe with both my trucks

can I come too?

can I come too?


Of course you can!! C'mon![guitar]

Anyone who plans to dyno needs to PM rjohnson! This started out as a fairly small event and has grown. Start time, etc may have to be changed to accommodate more people.

Yup!
We have time and room for maybe 10 trucks. Need to know who is definately coming. It's being done on private land and kind of as a favor. Sorry, just not a "come one...come all" kind of a day, this time around.

Edit-10:15: Been asked to limit it to 10 trucks...since were not starting till 1:00. Can't move that up... so were full. List above has been updated and all confirmed, unless Justin has to work!
Should be a fun time.... pray for some warmish weather!

RJ

Well dang it. I found this too late.

Big Blue,
Saw your post on DTR#35 about water/meth system. Did you get the one in the classifieds??

RJ

Yup. If we can't arrange a meeting when I head that way he's gonna ship it down here. Not gonna install it until the head studs go in though. I commute with this truck to much to have it down for any reason.

I will be there and my name is already on the list to dyno.

Jeremy

Sorry about that! First alternate, if you want it? :)
Aggie Justin may have to work...won't know till mid week.

RJ

It looks like we are going to have a pretty good turnout. A lot more than origionally planned.

We all need to keep in mind that Don is doing us a favor. I don't think he regularly has dyno's at his private residents like this one is. With this in mind, we need to be sure and show respect for him, his family and his property.

There......the President has spoken. :)

You don't.......??????:confused:

The long range forecast does not look too good for camping. :(

Rain thru Thursday, which means it will be pretty muddy. The ground is already saturated and pretty "squshy" already. Windy and temps in the low 30's at night, and only in the low 40's during the day.

Yippie. Sounds like fun. [yuk]

Wow, I just looked at a map, I didn't figure it would be 126 miles one way for me. I may still see ya'll up there.
If it wasn't up in the air for how long I was going to be here, I would just make a Cowboy Capital chapter.

I just drove back from Austin this eve. pulling one of the goosenecks... With a vehicle on top (more wind resistance) and with the 20 mph+ headwind and me not going 55... more like 75 fuel mileage suffered !! [laugh] Running 20+psi boost and 900-1000 degree temps... [laugh]

I don't know if my water/meth will even be installed by this weekend... :( Not looking good right now... Oh well still have the TST Comp, TAG, and SO pump to get numbers on...

Depending on when the guy gets my check and when he ships it I MAY have it installed by this weekend but I very highly doubt it.

Hey, I just might have found our main event for the March or April Chapter Meet!!! I'll bring the ATV! I vote that the Chapter prez (or Tyler in his place) needs to try it out first.[director] [coffee] [laugh]

Sweet. Let's do it. [coffee]

That just proves what W.C. Fields said - "There's a sucker born every minute"

HAHA....i got my truck to 3 cyl idle yesterday morn.....was 12*F out. Holy Crap its loud when it turns on! It ramps up the idle to 1200 or so and then BOOM......"Clank-ca-te Clank-ca-te Clank-ca-te Clank-ca-te". Knocks real LOUD! Kinda like a cold 6.0L Ford when starting up if you have ever heard one......Kinda cool though.....just didn’t want to wake the neighbors up at 7AM!

Are we going to meet anywhere for lunch before the dynoing begins?

Might i suggest Dieter Brothers in Linsey, Texas (Right by the Gainesville Airport)? AWESOME BBQ, Pizza, and German food (I know that is a weird combo....just dont eat them all at the same time! I dont know how they do it..but all are TOP NOTCH! Get that Hot german potato Salad! MMMMM MUMMMM!).......not bad price at that as well! Not that i am going.....just a VERY good place to eat and not that far out of the way really.....

Here yall go too..... (http://gainesville.texasdinner.com/)

If anybody likes "The Cracker Barrel", there is one at the intersection of 380 and I-35 in Denton. http://www.crackerbarrel.com/location.cfm?state=TX


They also built a new one in Gainesville last year. And, a new one in Sherman is coming May 07.

The one in Gainesville aint all that great.....just some white dude in a barrell next to the outlet mall..........

[laugh]
Linsey sounds good...but nowhere near where we are going? neither is 380...right? If the McKinney guys want to do that...we can meet up later, in the big city.......Era,TX. :)
Nothing good in Valley View?

Valley View is not known for its.....well Food.....Only thing thats cool about it is that Chris Cagle (http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/cagle_chris/bio.jhtml)Has a ranch there....and Alan Richy....thats about it.....Gainesville or Sanger is about the best place to eat IMHO.....

It doesn't matter to me, I can come down two differnt ways, one that puts me north of Era, or 380 which puts me south of Era. There are some places to eat at both Hwy 82 and 35 north of Era in Gainsville and Hwy 380 and 35 south of Era in Denton. I believe that there is a Cracker Barrel at both junctions.

Just let me know...

Hey im just throwing CB out as a suggestion. If there is any other place yall wanna go eat then speak up. I think the options may be a little bit limited in that part of N. Texas.

Rowland did you receive the email? I think Charlie is discouraging us staying at Sedalia this go around with the temps and rain. Friday's high is currently forecasted around 39 and dropping from there down into the low 20s. Saturday won't be much warmer. Tyler is probably staying at my house and I have plenty of room for you if you want to come down. Charlie suggested a "slumber party" :) at my place.

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/forecast/MapClick.php?CityName=Era&state=TX&site=FWD

Did not get the e-mail but sounds good, and warmer! Definately better lunch choices. :) Looks like 380 is what we want, afterall!

RJ

CB @ 380 and 35 is cool with me..

I hate to discourage going to The Ranch, but the current forecast is 45/35 for Friday, 38/27 for Saturday and 40/25 for Sunday, and that's for Dallas. It's nearly always 2/3* colder in Sadelia and you know how the wind blows up there. And, that's not even taking into account for the MUD. :( Be patient...as soon as I win the lottery, we'll have a nice BIG, well equipped, heated and air conditioned shop up there.

Thanks to Robert and Mike for their hospitality and offers for warm beds.

I guess we now need to decide who, what, where and when to meet up. The Cracker Barrel at 380 and 35 is probably as central as any place and is easy to find. What say 11:00 and that would give us time to eat and be in Era by 1:00.

Robert, Just got the e-mail copy from Charlie. With your working late and my back problem...I'll come to McKinney early Saturday. I'll hit McDonalds and bring coffee for all....say 8:30? Too early?

Charlie, Want to ride down with me?

I'll pass on staying overnight in McKinney. I took a BIG fall on a patch of ice 15 days ago. Landed on concrete .... on my back and right side. I'm just back to about 90% mobility, so I need my heated waterbed at night. :)

RJ

Micky D's sounds good. There is one less than a mile from Robert's place.

I'm glad you back is doing better :)........I wish I was as fortunate. :(

Boy after listening to yall whine about yall's back I don't wanna get old. Maybe I'll just kill myself when I hit 50. [laugh]

I was still kinda planning on coming up friday considering I'd have to leave at 4am to make it up there by 8am on saturday.

Boy after listening to yall whine about yall's back I don't wanna get old.
Yup! Have not got a problem in the world....that a new back and a winning lottery ticket wouldnt cure. [laugh]
The second item would get me an 07 dually (stretched to a long bed) and the first would let me be comfortable driving it.

And In defference to our host... I will vote for the Cracker Barrel. 11:00 at 380/I-35 sounds about right.

Rowland, I am sorry to hear about your back. My house is always open and I have a queen bed (or air mattress or floor...whatever is most comfortable for you) waiting for you if you want and/or able to use it. Charlie, same for you if you want to stay...i'd be glad to have you. I'll order some pizza and we can drink some liquid refreshment.[coffee] Watch a movie if we want. I should be receiving my copy of "White Line Fever" this week!! If that is still not an option, then come on down Saturday but definately not to early. Personally, I will not want anything to eat Saturday until we get to Denton.:cool:

I should have added, that I probably will be taking off work early or taking off altogether....so don't worry about my schedule.

And In defference to our host... I will vote for the Cracker Barrel. 11:00 at 380/I-35 sounds about right.

I'll be there...

I have a pistol that you can eat! As hard as you on your body, you might want to move that up to 30.....[laugh] [laugh] [duhhh]

Cause if I waited till you were 50 for me to see you do it, i'd be 69.:o :o

I'll be there...


Sounds good Giblet!! Looking forward to meeting you.

For the first time, I was actually prepared and had all of my camping gear. Guess I'll just have to camp out in the opening outside of my apartment. [laugh]

I hope so...having been out of deer hunting for a few years, I don't get many chances to sleep outside in the cold. :)

Yep, in my case...the Smarty was on 5 at 397. Hopefully 9 will bring 450. I hope. But my fp goes down to zippo on hard acceleration on 9...so I may be starving for fuel.[laugh] :cool:

If yall wanna come back to my place afterward, then come on. Sunday is Super Sunday too! whoo hoo. Go Colts!

I love how rowland calls 600+ same old same old. [laugh] If I can get the snow kit in friday before I leave town I might hook it up at robert's and spray at least once on the dyno. But that's very wishful thinking.

Got a couple of hrs at the dyno...if you want to go last. Might be able to get inside Bob Davies Hanger to work on your truck? Just a thought.

I've got an extra Air Horn if you want to tap it Sat morning and install it at the Dyno?

We'll see rowland. He said he's shipping the kit thursday so it should be here by friday. What time friday is unknown if it even comes on friday.

OK this is in my head, 11am Cracker Barrel at intersection of 380 and I-35 on Saturday 2/3/07 correct?

RJ "ok another 632hp run" ...i was hoping for 633"
Since the 632 HP was with mostly washer fluid, and I'm using 50% racing Meth this time.... I'll predict 633.

Actually, a little nervous. Last time I was on this dyno (Redline) I came up 100+ hp short?

I don't care how cold it is...I looking forward to it:)

RJ

Well,
Can't make the dyno thingy (need a new clutch before that happens anyway) due the fact that I am going ATV'ing on Saturday. I should be back around 5-6. I will try to swing by Robert's for a while Saturday :)
I will bring the usual for my beverage, if someone could just have a glass with some ice waiting for me, it would be appreciated. Speaking of "the usual", my buddy got me hooked on a Jack Daniels product (and I don't like Jack Daniels), it is Jack Daniel's Single Barrel. I have to confess that I may give up my Crown for that.

Tyler at 540 HP.... w/o Meth
Justin at 465 HP
Robert at ?. 397 hp was after Smarty, but not on full, right. So let's say 450 hp
Mike at ??? Anything been added?
Brian at 590 HP... SO pump, w/o Meth
Rowland.... Hopefully same old...same old

RJ

Wow you think swapping pumps and upgrading the TST will bring me from my last 440 or whatever to 590 huh? [laugh] Maybe the dyno will give me some more horses for having the coolingmist kit in the back seat [laugh]

Hmmm...and maybe I'll pick up horses for having tow hooks and sport headlights in the back seat as well. :) Hey, if stickers are good for HP...then exterior mods must be good too. [laugh]

Wow you think swapping pumps and upgrading the TST will bring me from my last 440 or whatever to 590 huh? [laugh]
Just a guess...but based on bombs, I think you'll be same as me when you add H2O/Meth.
Positives - S400 primary turbo vs my S300..... and 5" stacks vs my 4" (maybe)
Negatives - your HX-35 Secondary vs my S300 on top..... and maybe 20 hp less from Jammers.

If these differences are a wash.... we're even! Anyone see it differently?

RJ

Oh i was just messing with ya... Your S300 is a big plus over my HX (drive pressures tell that alone). Exhausts are a wash (not that I think they make much of a difference anyways) mine reduces down to a 4" for a while for my e-brake. 4" ebrake was like 600 5" was like 900 so [duhhh] 4" it is!! [laugh]. Lets see valve springs... Urs good mine stressed to heck with the ebrake... Think you'll still be ahead!! [laugh] I just want to see numbers in the 500 range!!

I still haven't added any fuel, so I predict I can't possibly reach 300HP/700ft-lbs again..... :rolleyes:
One of us ran real good on that dyno!
Strange...... That's the second time a 3rd Gen has "over-dynoed" on that Mustang. And the other four CTD that morning read 12-15% low????

RJ

Dan my buddy has a TST/Smarty stack on his 3rd gen with the stock turbo and an FE Clutch. Let's just say that traction is a major issue.

Hmmm...and maybe I'll pick up horses for having tow hooks and sport headlights in the back seat as well. :) Hey, if stickers are good for HP...then exterior mods must be good too. [laugh]



Well ya'll better watch out!!! I have added an Alpine 9856 with a 30 gig Ipod downloader to my list of mods. That has to be good for an extra 50hp, right??[laugh] [laugh] Maybe 500 is within reach after all!![duhhh] :cool:

Exterior mods only add hp if they are installed. :)

By the way, this meet is coming at a very good time for me. Just yesterday my electric door latch on my driver side door quit working. The other 3 work fine and the driver door clicks...but won't let go an unlock.

I am going to go by the dealer and pick up a new door latch (they quoted me $37.00 list) and try to fix it this weekend. If I can't get it, hopefully some of you more mechanically inclined dudes can bail me out.

Have you tried any Quick-Kleen, or the like, around the switch? May just be a dirty contact or something.......

I agree with Charlie....Drawing from my past experience at a Nissan dealer, you sometimes could free up a sticky lock assembly with some lube and brake clean. BUT for $37....that is a deal by dealer prices......

I haven't tried anything yet. No time. But I was going by "Stew130"s experiences with his on this thread... http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/showthread.php?t=87151&page=2

Im going to go ahead and get that part....and if I don't need it, i'll just take it back.

I guess I need to get a Saturday night chili guest list.

As far as I know:
Robert
Rowland
Tyler
Brian
Mike
Evan
Justin
Rob (probable)

If I left anyone off, let me know.

Snow Stage 2 kit will be here tomorrow. :D

"HOW DID HE DIE??" asked his mom!

They found him Sat. morning at a cops house... on his back out in the street (under his truck). He was playing with Water & Alcohol in the freezing weather..... It was really very strange :)

[laugh] [laugh] [laugh] Now that's funy!

And so very true cause you know I'm gonna wanna install it. [laugh] Hopefully it gets here at a decent hour so I can get on the road cause there's no way I'm not gonna be able to go up there without it and I'm gonna have to install it. Hey rowland, you still got that stock intake elbow I can borrow?

If you need any tools for the install, let me know.

OH NO! There's BIG smowflakes falling!

Charlie I don't think I'm gonna need anything. Got my crescent wrench and some electrical tape so I think I'm good to go. [laugh]

Keep that nasty white crap outta here. If there's one thing I don't wanna do this weekend it's follow rowland to a dyno event in the snow. I can barely do it when it's sunny and dry out. [laugh]

And I'll bring some bailing wire, you'll be able to do rewiring if you have to.

Good idea. I ran out when I did my lift. [laugh]

OH NO! There's BIG smowflakes falling!


Been falling here for the past 2 hours!! Too dang cold [verymad]

Ur going to make me go out in this cold dang weather and install mine aren't you [verymad]... Eh maybe not

Yeah. Knowing me if it doesn't come in at noon tomorrow and I don't immediately install it then it won't get installed until spring time cause I hate working on the truck in the cold.

Yeah, please don't go dying in my driveway. I don't need any "investigations" going on. I don't want my house all over the front of the Dallas Morning News and every news station.[laugh] [laugh]

Besides you may be to busy helping me with my door latch. [dummy] :cool:

you still got that stock intake elbow I can borrow?
Yup! I advertised for one in the Classified section when I was thinking about selling my Snow's Kit.... WITH the tapped Air Horn and plumbed washer bottle. You have a drill & tap?

I'll bring the air horn 9 am, Sat!

Mid 40's...mostly sunny... winds light & Variable.
Lot's of cool, dense intake air! Won't see that again for many dyno days! :)

RJ

It looks like the weather will be cold tomorrow, but no rain in the forecast (for now).

Even with the ground as muddy as it is, Bob has still agreed to letting us come to his place to dyno. I think this is extremly nice of him considering the conditions! With that in mind, let's not just blow in there like a bunch of stupid dieselheads. I hope he has considered the number of trucks and has a "designated" spot for us to park that will not tear his ground up too bad. Also, remember that this is his "private residence" and we need to treat it and respect it as such.

Will do El Presidente! Is anybody else looking at this white crap again out the window?? It is cold water meth install prolly not going to happen... :cool:

Was just looking at the weather and it is supposed to get up to 48 tomorrow definitely an improvement over todays high of 36!!

No more yet! Right now, it's just COLD.

.... let's not just blow in there like a bunch of stupid dieselheads.


Ok, I can promise the "no blowing in part" but I can't promise not being stupid :)

~Rob

Oh yeah,
Forogt to post it here, I am not ATV'ing tomorrow, so I will be there :)

~Rob

Its not supposed to bust freezing here today, and it is attempting to snow right now.

I wanted to wash the rig but I guess I will just have to come in a dirty pick-up. [verymad] :(

Since I have to go dancing with my girl, it'll just have to be a fart party! [laugh]

Hmm. It's in the 40's or 50's here. Maybe I'll just stay here this weekend. [laugh]

Rowland I've got a drill and some taps but I don't know what size taps I need or drill bit sizes.

Not wanting to be outdone on the water meth install I actually went out and ran wires for about a half hour... Decided to take the fall and STOP my fingers were NUMB!! [roll] Way too COLD... Will wait for spring [laugh]

I've got all of the drills & taps on this truck, except for a few NPT; but the shop has everything you need (including the other welders) if you wanted to drive out to Farmersville - it's 20 miles past Robert's. It'd be easier to do out there, since I wouldn't have to unpack the truck, but an hour's round trip...

I actually went out and ran wires for about a half hour... Decided to take the fall and STOP my fingers were NUMB!! [roll] Way too COLD... Will wait for spring [laugh]

That's why I still haven't wired any of the new switches, solenoids, pumps, gauges, etc. for the H2O/meth, NO2, linelock, etc.

... but I expect to gain a few hundred Virtual HP on the dyno! [laugh]

I cant make it now. I need to stick around the house this weekend and next week to watch our 7 year old. Starting Monday night @ midnight we have had him in and out of 2 hospital emergency rooms and 2 doctors offices to find out why his stomach has been hurting so bad. 1 X-ray, 2 Cat Scans, urine tests, several extensive blood tests later they think it is a rare virus in his intestines VS the first diagnosis of possible appendicitus.

Its hectic and we all are laking sleep and mental accuity right now.

The good news is he is spending less time crying and doubled over in pain since they gave him heavy drugs to ease the symptoms.

Don,
Sorry you can't make it, but the family ALWAYS comes first. I hope the boy gets better quickly. Keep us posted.

So who is going to be there? It is confirmed I will be unless everything goes to heck in a handbag, in a hurry.

I won't take too many pics of it. :) Rob, be sure and his dirty truck on the NT site. [laugh]

You can pic away at it now! I found one of those wash it for you places that was open![guitar]

Just heard from Bob....the Dyno Man!
His big concern last night was getting the dyno on it's concrete pad...next to the hanger. It weight 14,000 lbs and he did not think he could tow cross the wet ground.
He just e-mailed me. The Dyno is in it's place and all set up for us..... 1 pm tomorrow!
All systems go!

10 trucks showing... AFAIK. Same ones listed above. Most meeting at Cracker Barrel at 380/I-35 at 11:00 am for lunch.

RJ

Thanks for the offer mike. First thing though is I gotta get the kit. It's out for delivery right now.

Wimp! [tapdshut]

Aww come on now, my wittle hands would have gotten cold... [nonono] [dummy]

Hey Don,

Sorry to hear about your boy - Evan & I'll put in a request Upstairs for y'all... :)

last I talked to Mike, the pump on his truck was acting up. Not sure if he's gonna make it. I'm planning on coming.

well my pump is ate up right now, but i hope to have another on it by saturday.

Hopefully he'll have it fixed.

Well I ain't gonna need a tap. It came with one. It's a very nice kit. Can't tell if it's got the big pump or not. The instructions make it sound like it is the upgraded pump.

I got your back if you need a tap Blue :)

Awesome rob. I knew you'd have my back with a tap. [laugh]

Don, I'm praying for ya that everything's ok.

Alright the suspense is killing me. Who has a shop I can borrow to install this thing? I will bring beverages of choice as payment. [laugh]

Do you have it in hand?

Yup. Well, it's in the box in the living room. It's kinda hard to type and hold it at the same time. [laugh]

Your acting like a kid that's parents have let him see what his present is, but won't let him open it until his birthday.

Don,

I take it that is Tracy. I sure hope the best for him and all of you. Sorry we won't see you, but you have much more important things to tend to right now. Good luck and keep us posted. I will send up a request to the man upstairs also.

well, I guess I'll see some of you guys tomorrow! :)

Well I went to the Dodge house here in McKinney and bought the door latch thingamajigy. ($30.00) I got home about 5:00ish and started taking my door apart. Boy that sucker was not easy to get out. It is not that complicated (even I can do it)....there just isn't any room to maneuver your hands around, much less see what your doing. I fought and fought with it and got the new one installed. Now the electric door lock works great. But, I have a second problem. I still can't open the door from the outside.[verymad] [verymad] So I don't now if I have another part failure or something I didn't hook up right or what. My fingers are frozen messing with it, and now it's dark....so im done for the night.......with that anyway.[verymad]

Don't let them bother you a bit Giblet.[director] I did the same thing!:cool: Well it got the worst of it off anyway...[laugh]


Looking forward to meeting you, Forest, and DuallyDog tomorrow......and who ever else shows up. See yall in Denton at Cracker Barrel, 380/I35, at 11.

Tyler will already be here. So I assume that Charlie, Rowland, Mike and Evan, Justin, Rob will be meeting at my house at 9-9:30am Saturday? Correct?

Brian are you coming to McKinney or meeting up with us in Denton?

And, I assume Giblet, Gunracer (if he makes it), Forest and Dually dog will meet up with us in Denton at CB at 11?


Is that correct? Did anybody get left off? Does anybody that is coming to my place NOT get the directions to it?

Charlie is preparing some of his homebrewed Texas Fire Chili Saturday night at my house! So come on back to McKinney if you can. BYOB and ice.

If anybody has any extra firewood laying around.....and wants to bring it...I have a fireplace. (but no wood).

What do you mean by "the outside"?

I can open the door if I come in thru the passenger side door and pull the driver door handle. But I can't open the door from the outside. The exterior driver door handle will not function.

Sounds like a lever has slipped off somewhere. Except for taking it apart, it shouldn't be too hard to fix. If it was mine, it would have to wait until spring. :)

I'll be meeting up with the group at CB at 11am at 360 and 35... Blue, you find a shop to install your kit? Will be nice to have you install yours first and then tell me what to do!! [laugh]

I hear ya. It was chilly chilly messing with it. But the levers were all attached. I had just put them back on the new unit. I'll just have to work with it somemore when I have the time (and warmth). [coffee]

Easy way to tell. I believe only the bigger pump comes with the diesel Snow's kit, but the big pump is 5.25" long. the smaller (180psi?) is under 5"... around 4.75+/-!

RJ

OK, guy's I'm on my way. See ya'll at 11.

had a ball, a little chilly out, but a lot of fun, and the fact that my truck did better than I was hoping even though it seemed like the dyno was putting out lower numbers than some were expecting made my day :D

Lower numbers than expected?? So I'm assuming Tyler made 497?? [laugh][laugh][laugh]

no comment!

but my junk did 535/1196

it's got more torque in it... slipped the clutch when we braked the dyno down big time and the turbo hit about 1700rpm :(

There will be more info to follow!!


But im just happy that my wimpy little 3rd gen put down 466/922 with Smarty only on level 9!!!!!!! Stock trans, stock turbo, stock lp, stock everything except for air and exhaust!! And it made it even sweeter when Big Blue ONLY got a 462!!!![laugh] [laugh] :cool: Just a little fun rivalry, even with all of his mods!![coffee]

I had a great time guys. I wanted to thank everybody for the open hospitality to the new guy. Big props to Bob for letting us raid his own property, what a spread it was to. I will be looking foward to the next GTG!

My truck put right about where I thought it would for HP, but I was very impressed with the TQ number.

Lunch was excellent at the Cracker Barrel in Denton. Got to meet some new folks......good to meet you Dually Dog, GibletC and Dad, .........good to meet you too Forrest Nearing. Good to see you again TBone. Don't be a stranger!

Thanks to RJohnson for planning and putting this meet together. Thanks to Bob Davies for hosting us with his Dyno. Extremely nice people.

Thanks Crobtex for the videos. HotDram will hopefully be updating the N. Texas DTR website soon!


Sorry you couldn't make it Don M......I hope things are better with your son!

Thanks also for everybody that stayed at my house. Great group!

HOLD UP!!! that redneck's junk didn't do more than mine!!! [laugh]

oh, and I did 1195.5, so I'm gonna go ahead and round up to 1196... NIST lets us round up or down to the ftlb on our torque equipment, so I'm gonna take 1196ftlbs ;)

Ooooopsssss!! Your right!!! Sorry...>TYPO. I corrected it above in my previous post. (maybe i did it on purpose just to get a rise out of ya.[laugh] ) Hey, it worked!![coffee]

GRacer.....I accidently gave you a 100 hp...[laugh] Im sure you wouldn't have minded though.[laugh]

nah, you've got black wheels w/ chrome centers, it was clearly an honest mistake! :cool:

nah, you've got black wheels w/ chrome centers, it was clearly an honest mistake! :cool:

I like your Red 98 alot. Boy that thing can sure put out the smoke!!! I have some pics of it......hopefully HotDram will get them on the N. Texas site soon.

hey do any of you guys want or know anybody who wants to buy my tires and wheels. Tires have 80% tread left and the wheels have no dents or dings? Looking to get 1200. I will get pics in my gallery soon. Oh and they are 305 bfg m/t's on american racing rims, there should be a pic in my gallery of them on my truck..

Wow, just 4 hours of sleep and I'm still awake, I'm shocked. I left TexasCTD's 8:40 and got back to the house about 11:45. I'm proud of my truck, I burned less than a quarter of a tank on the way to the dyno, less than a quarter of a tank on the way back from McKinney, and well over a quarter of a tank between the dyno and following you guys to Rob's. Still got 18.4 mpg. NEED MORE FUEL, if the difference between 100hp and 140 was just 5hp and 20 and 40ft.lbs. But I still like my stock numbers being 270hp and 530 ft.lbs.
I bet Tyler and Brian already have their trucks on meth by now. (That is if BigBlue has even woke up by now)(I still love the fact that all I did was open my dump to trigger his truck alarm on my way out this morning)

.............I still love the fact that all I did was open my dump to trigger his truck alarm on my way out this morning)



His little truck was just getting scared when you fired up, knowing that your truck is nipping at his heals on hp.......so it shows it's fear by sounding an alarm for Daddy Tyler to come comfort it and make it feel better.[laugh]


Seriously, Good to meet you Matt. Just watch the chapter events section for a N. Texas thread.......and come on to whatever is going on. Nice flatbed dually!

Good Day! Nice meeting new faces!
Thanks to Robert for the after dyno party! Also to Charlie for the Chilli Diner!!
Not sure where some of my horses went... maybe they were Mustangs and not CTD Horsepower. :)

Since, IMO, a truck is only as strong as it's last turn on the dyno... or it's last run at the track......
have modified my signature. :(

RJ

Whew! Finally made it home. Another great meet with a bunch of really good guys, and a couple of girls.

First, I'd like to thank Rowland for thinking of the dyno and getting it together. Second, I'd like to thank Bob for having us to his place. He and his wife and family are a class act. Hot chocolate, bottled water, soft drinks, queso, hot sauce, chips, cookies, M&M's and WARM hanger to get out of the wind and cold. And third, to Robert for having some of his over to his house for the little party and to spend the night. A nice warm house sure beats The Ranch in weather like this.

As always, it was great to see old friends and meet new ones. A great bunch of folks. :)

I'm sure Rob will let us know when he gets his North Texas DTR site
updated. A lot of good pics and some videos.

Did I ever tell you guys that I HATE COLD WEATHER!

Also, this morning I got the high idle box put on my truck. That little sucker is awesome! :D

Thanks to BrIan (bnold) for making up the box for me and doing the install with Tylers help. Help from you young whipper-snappers with these things is always very much appreciated. :)

And lastly.....Did I ever tell you guys that I HATE COLD WEATHER!

Charlie was a pleasure glad I could help!! A big thanks to everyone that made this meet happen: RJ, TexasCTD, Charlie and others... Was great to meet more of you guys and to see the familiar faces! Can't wait to do it again! I'm ready for the 4wheelin trip! [guitar]

Charlie, was it cold out there yesterday? How do you feel about that?

Great to meet new folks and put a face with a name.
Got the pictures up on the website, the movies are going to take a while.

Thanks to Bob and his family for hosting us and thanks to Rowland for setting it up. Thanks to Charlie for the chili and Robert for giving us a warm place for Charlie to cook the chili (Charlie doesn't like the cold ya' know) and us to eat the chili.

Rob, thanks for the pics!

Wow, Forrest can sure put out some smoke!:o

Glad everything works for ya charlie.

I had a blast and enjoyed meeting some new faces. To bad it didn't go as well on the dyno as I had hoped for. Oh well. I'll be ready for it next time. :D

If my scheduling allows it I'll dang sure make another meet. I had a blast. It was great meeting ya'll. Thanks to Rowland, Bob and his crew, Rob for the facilities afterward, and Charlie for the cooking (I think you mentioned once that you did not like the cold. [laugh])
(Oh BTW how long after I left before BigBlue realized that his truck alarm was going?)
Peace

While thanking everyone for everything, I left out probably one of the most important things. Thanks to DTR, Jack, Larry and the rest of the guys for making this site such a great place. DTR has brought me great pleasure, beside teaching me a lot, saving me a lot of money and allowing me to meet a great bunch of folks.....both on-line and in person. (That even goes for some of the weirdo left wingers over on the political site)

Rob, AWESOME! Thanks for setting up the site for us. :)

Sorry I didn't get everyone's best run....I'll blame it on the cold.

had a great time, was really nice to meet everyone... I don't know if I'd call the hangar "warm", but the game room sure was! :)

was great to put some faces to some names, and good to see people I hadn't seen in a while

:cool:

Matt I actually didn't know the alarm had even gone off until after I woke up. [laugh]
Impressive, you annoyed the neighborhood before even waking up. [laugh] I guess I helped too.
How's the meth going?
It was cool getting to meet the infamous BigBlue, now I have an idea of what you look like while spending hours on DTR going for 20,000 posts. BTW happy 6 year anniversary for your membership on here.
Forrest, keep blowing that smoke dude.

The meth is still sitting in the back seat and will probably remain there until tuesday.

Thanks for the happy anniversary!!! :D

Did bnold's even get on? What did you wake up at noon and had to get back to CS?

I woke up at 9:15 or so and helped brian put the high idler on charlie's truck and adjusted the APPS for charlie and then left there about 12:30.

Whose nasty roller fairlead is this?

Shesh! That's terrible! [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Shesh! That's terrible! [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

I'll bet if we soaked it in some of that chili you boiled up for us last night, it would come real clean.

~Rob

[laugh][laugh][laugh] Whatever you do, don't get the chili by the intake, it wouldn't pass a smog test at the exhaust and you wouldn't want to be coming behind it. Isn't that right bnold? :D

After your chili last night, my wife told me I should be OUTSIDE this morning (and she wasn't joking).

Alright guys, you gotta make a choice here....your friends, your wife.......or the chili. :)

That just ain't right!! [yuk] "Hopefully" Water/meth will be in this weekend!!

XLR8R came over to watch the Super Bowl (Evan too) and they ate up the rest of the chili. To bad, or I might should have tried that on that fairlead![laugh] [laugh]

That's ok, Charlie will be whipping up a new batch at the N. Texas DTR 1st annual ATV/Camping/Diesel Truck meet coming in March. (info coming soon to a thread near you!)


Maybe some of the new batch of chili will wash that rust clean in a flash![coffee]

Man, after 3 bowls of Charlie's Chili, I'm blowin' more smoke now than I did on the dyno yesterday! [yuk] [laugh]

Well I got the water meth installed tonight. Took a few hours (mounting the pump sucked) and managed to slice my thumb up and break a quick connect fitting but it's installed. All I need now is a switch. Woulda been nice to test it against this young punk in an 06 cummins who thought he could hang with the old truck. It's always a good feeling when you don't even know your racing until your half a truck behind and then before the end of the race you've got a truck on the person. Man that TST is fun. [laugh]

So much for waiting until Tuesday. I take it you don't have any 8am classes. [laugh]

Nah. Noon. [laugh]
