The rest of March is booked for me but I have the following things that are in need of install / adjusting, maybe sometime in early April???

1) Edge Juice w/ Attitude

2) 2" front leveling spacers

3) New rims and tires (thanks TJ)

4) Valve springs adjusted, they have never been done and I am pushing 195k

5) maybe a new exhaust manifold if I get it in time.

6) Remove Silencer Ring

Let me know. I am a diesel dummy so I need help.

boots, i think chris knows what he wants his truck to do.. appears he was just asking when he could get in and start installing some of the stuff.

the hardest part of that whole project is drilling the exhaust manifold for the temp probe and not messing up the turbo, but since you have a new one to put in as well, you have a very easy install day ahead of you

Anyone in the BelAir area want to help with a Edge install this afternoon? I think I can do it myself but would love a hand as I am brand new to diesel trucks / engines.

I am kind of in the same boat as well. I wish I was not working this weekend. I would have gladly tried to help out. I am in the area but working the night shift this weekend. Getting ready to roll out again now.

Drilling and tap looks to be the hardest after reading the distructions. I have to get the tool/bit to tap it.

Peace

I am leaving on Thursday night and coming back Sunday. I will be out of town this weekend, and next. Its killing me to look at all the stuff to add, yet not have time to do it. Maybe we can plan the 2nd weekend in April?

Your telling me, I have a TST sitting in my back seat for over a month now and have yet to get it installed, although I need to get it done before the dyno at TNT on the 29th so I can hit the rollers.

I have not yet, but I only loaded it once, and loaded level 9, have not changed it yet since the TST isn't installed yet. Once it goes in I will try some other levels, but until then it is staying on level 9. [guitar]

Food for thought. I'm almost always home every night. I was in the Cave working on my truck and can't get a cell signal.

Future project build a cummins powered cell tower behind the cave. [laugh]

I got the tap needed now but the weather is not being friendly. I did however get time to work on my daughter's honda. Ordered ignition parts for that. I also got the rear bumper on the 4 wheeler. I guess it was not a total loss of time. :cool:

Time for some more [coffee] and start getting ready for work.

Peace

How about the weekend of April 4-6? No plans as of yet.

Let me know April is still empty right now.

Thanks
