Sorry..I didn't make...Landed up going out with a few co-workers Friday after work....Had a very big head Saturday morning...

 

The day went by way way to fast. Fun times, just hanging out. Good to see everyone again. I think my truck was the most stock of the bunch

 

X2 - Canadian Military never hears that - and they very badly need to.


Thanks for doing that thing for me Pete (wow that didnt sound very good.....). I owe you a beer or coffee.

 

I think this is the first official DTR meet I haven't been to since I started coming on here. A bit disappointed, but it was bound to happen. Next one I intend to make.

 

Yes it wasa great day for a drive and a chinwag, good to see Homestead again and the rest of the crew .
I dunno Mike , the new truck is all stock.
Thanks Joe i will probably take you up on that offer like you said it's not a question if bu t when will it fail.

 

Good showing for our little chin wag. I am certainly glad that Dave and Pete came with their first gens.. Brings back memories of mine and what started it all.

Blew me over to see VonTrapp again, great to see you again my friend as well as many of the regulars from the DieselRam group.

We should set up more of the "socials" for us old timers..LOL Not every meet needs a dyno but it is fun for entertainment.

I will try and muster up some tags for the new arrivals and don't be shy to bring yours along if you already have one.

Thanks!

J-eh

 

I had a quick look at your truck, I wasn't sure if it was stock or not, you never lifted the hood on the truck. Sure a nice ride buddy.

I like the fact that your 03 has a 6 speed and the leather. Looks to be in decent shape.

I just have a programmer on my 10 truck. Its been enough truck for what I use it for. Basically I just use the programmer to turn-off the emission stuff, plus add a little power. Its not fast but tows my RV really decently.

 

I've got a TST box for it siting on the bench at home just need a day off to get it in.Otherwise it is bonestock!

 

wish i would have got there, but had lunch plans with my girlfriends family for her birthday, kind of figured i would have got shot if i ended up at timmys for a visit . I'll have to make the next one, as long as mike brings his '10 then he and I can be in the running for the closest to stock truck haha

 

One day we are going to have to line up the 6.7L 3rd gen vs the 6.7L 4th gen and see which truck is faster

We talked about going to Race City or Castrol raceway for an evening. Have to wait and see if it pans out.

 

Chris, interesting choice going with the TST module.

That module has been around for quite awhile, improved & updated over the years. Great for towing with the in cab controls & the EGT feedback protection.
Plus it has the ability to put out huge power once all the support upgrades are in place.
It is quite intrusive though as it intercepts nearly all the ECU engine controls. Hence all the cables.

I think you mentioned on Saturday that you have the model with the built in pyro & boost gauges?

You may want to consider a low side (lift pump) fuel pressure gauge also.

Let the modding begin!!

 

Yeah i got the full meal deal instead of running guages, i need the old farts grab handle on the pillar .The TST box came highly reccomended by some one i trust down in the states that knows a thing or two about these trucks.

I was just thinking about the fuel pressure guage on the way home last night Joe, debated with myself about going with a mechanical or electrical, it is a longer drive home now .

 

Sounds fun to me, i'll try just about anything once with the ole girl, i'll get my built in ecxuse warmed up now and say that the added resistance and weight of 2 more tires is what slowed me down

 

Thats no excuse, we all know duallies are faster.

 

What do you mean by tags and sounds like you guys had one heck of a good meet sorry I wasn't able to make er
