Just wondered how many of you would like it if I showed up at the pulls with a 25ft gooseneck to pull broken trucks home? Thought I might do it just to cover my expenses for going to the pulls. Some of you live far enough away there might be hotel expenses too.

Sounds like a good idea man. I am rather particular on who I spend the night in a hotel with.[nonono][laugh]

shoot i'd let ya tote me home if i broke down.

No the room isn't for you its for me and my kids if they were with me.[duhhh] You get to sleep in your broke truck.[laugh]

Hey Ive logged a good many hours sleepin in that truck. Sometimes a king size bed is too "small" for me an tha ol lady. No one pics on me out there.

That's what the 8ft bed is for right.

[duhhh] Why didnt I think of that?

How much does your mileage drop pullin that trailer? What about with a truck of two on it?

I wish I had that tow truck today since the truck has finally decided it doesn't really want to move anymore.... To think a simple trip across town became a pain in the !!!!!!!

So cp3? I might be able to help just tell me what its doin.

GS's tran died finally. Slow and painfully.
Fuel mileage pulling a trailer at 60mph about 14mpg at 65mph about 13. With a truck on it about 11-12 at 60mph.

Thats right he told me that. Ooops I thought that was you tree dr. When he said it wouldnt move I assumed the worst for your cp3. Its hard to tell sometimes on the iPhone what your lookin at. I mustve confused his for yours.

Yea, tranny is dead.... So hopefully matt will be able to take some time to pick me up. He's building the tranny as we speak so it is underway.

T21 you could have used a lift to Floor It a couple of months ago. Did you ever get your truck running right? What pull are you going to start pulling your truck?

I dont know yet the engineers want me to stay in OK until mid-june!!! Im thinkin Im jus gonna have to pull tha plug at some level and do what I can over tha phone.

My lil ad in tha Marshfield phone book for my shop just came out (yesterday) and I expect to start getting calls and I will need to be home for that.

I'll letcha know. Ive been pretty excited to get the truck back after talkin to JD and John the other day.

I was there on Monday and told John if you called in the next day or two, that id ofer to bring it home for ya. Anyway in going back south tomorrow and probly be there next week, let me know if I can help.

What kind of shop you opening T21?
You must live up at John's shop CD. Did John get his shop moved yet? Did John ever get some more help?

I'm drivin to johns as I post this. Thanks alot for the offer corey but I need a day off anyway even if I have to spend it drivin.

Treedr, its the same stainless fab and welding buisness I've had for the last 5 years I'm just tryin to do more local shop type work and let my guys do all the field work. Who knows where I'll end up with it. I got alot of idears I just need the time. Know anybody that does good website work? Mine needs alot of help. In the last 2 years I still havnt made the time to learn more about setting it up.http://www.blackjackfabrication.com

well id say your a hell of a SS welder, i like the light bar and the water neck.

Thanks man, but that pales in comparison to some of my ideas and I never got to really finish anything Ive started on the truck. Tha water neck was just kinda for fun one day last summer when I was playin sick. I think late may or june is gonna be tha first time I get to do any work to it though. Bummer.

Well update, how do you like the pump!!!!!

who ya askin that to?????

The guy that's going to break his truck so I can tow it back to his house.

Some fortune teller you are. I just reached "unbreakable" status. But just in case we might atleast want a car dolly.

The pump is killer. I cant wait to get the cam and springs in there now. I do kinda wish I wouldve went with flux 4.5's or bigger now that I have a pump that will keep up. It never ends[duhhh]

I dont know bout the 4.5 of bigger!!! Im sure you'll make great power with what you got, im sure the 4 or 5s will get hot enough

so what's the next event anyway. I know the Jambo but I won't need a tow home from there. I'm talkin dyno drag sled demolision derby???

You really want a lift. What day do you want to be there and when do you want to come back? I'll let you pay for the fuel and GS might have a room for me.

Not sure just yet Ill let you know soon

What's that old saying?
Have trailer will travel.

Hey TreeDR if your goin to the Marshfield pull I have a trailer in town if you wanna use it instead of bringin on from Nixa. It has no tag and it aint the best but it has gotten me from Johns shop and back a few times.

What's the word on indy? Yall may want to read this thread before you decide.

I'm going on way or another. Might as well start getting teh crew together now as it is only a few weeks away.

T-21 Thanks for the offer. I've got a 25ft gneck, does anyone think they'll need it?

I'll be at Marshfield with my trailer. I'll probably wait and get there about 8 or 9pm, unless someone thinks they will pull before midnight.

What do you know. I didn't take my trailer to Ramonville and Pack put on his display of how to break your rear yoke. By the why Pack what would you have paid me to haul you home?

well i'd have most likely had someone meet us in springfield and swapped trailers. i don't know how much. we finally made it home though by 430 or 5 i forget which. all i know is i slept gooood. thanks to my good friend, beer.
