January Meet

Being that most of our members are students the holidays cut into our ability to have meetings. Because of this we will have to wait until the next semester starts (week of Jan 19th) to be able to have a meeting.

I propose that we have one on Jan 23rd.

Where to have it is the big question. The members we have here with enough property to support a meet are out of town fairly regular but not on a completely predictable schedule. Jordan, WCD will either of you be available at that time?

At least you're still here Matt...I guess everyone else really did fall off the face of the earth.

The 23rd will probably work. Is that a Friday or Saturday?

Oh, and I guess I should put in a pic for 1st Gen TOM for January?

I'm still here, I just have a hard time making the meetings cause they're always in the ville, and I don't get out that way often enough

Phantom309 that's for sure, I've been a little too lax on trying to get meetings together.
Jordan is pretty sure we could use his place on the 23rd (Saturday) so we will have the meet a few miles outside of Dublin.
Oh manifold and turbo is going to be fun, at least there is enough room to crawl under the truck to make those connections. And the last time I saw that truck it was a little light in the rear end, what does it look like now?

Here here, I'm still around too, been putting up my building in dublin a while now, not sure how the inside of the living area will be by the 23rd, pretty raw still I'd imagine, I got lots of parking, just spread out 100 tons of road base. Shop, some tools are there, along with a welder and torch, everyone else bring tools you may need. Ill try to bring an ice chest with drinks, I still am living in FW. Yall can bring anything you want, I just ask no alcohol please, thanks. Ill be coming from a meeting in FW, should be able to be there about 2pm, if something changes Matt will update.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!!!

I am glad I got the 50s, heard some not too great of things on the 90s, mine put out the power but better for mileage than the 90s, well I haven't a clue about egts lol, I have no gauges on this truck, but the turbo keeps it all in check real well, I can tell by power output and smoke combo. Just don't let it lug and I'm good! Also have a 60hp chip on it too lol. Well matt and I have messed with swappin turbos before, I got a torch so we're good huh matt?! Lol. Just buy all new gaskets when you swap it.

I can follow it better than most of the students I know.

Oh yeah as long as we have a torch handy we can get a lot done.
