Just wanted to drop by and say hi to everybody. I met Mike Holmen at the park accross from my house one day and he mentioned this site. Looks like I just missed out on some fun this weekend will have to make it the next time.

Great site lots of info, look forward to talking Diesel with all of you.

 

Already getting mixed in with bad company!

Welcome.

 

I caught the bug before he promised me 600hp. The meeting just made the itch worse.

 

Welcome ICL.

How do you like your Kore stuff? What is this mini pack in your sig. Tossing around the idea of suspension mods on the 04.5

 

The mini pack is a set of springs added to your leafs that bring the back end of the truck up one inch. I belive the Kore mini's are made by Deaver spring.

I really enjoy this suspension. It rides great and I didn't lose any towing capacity. I find myself speeding up for bumps now, and floor it thru washboard almost daring the truck to get the back end to walkout on me.

The VR coils bring up the front 3" so you lose the factory rake, which I miss when I tow my 3900 Kg bumpstop. I was thinking of a carli airbag set-up for the back end trying to get a little of the rake back. However, my father in law has the same kit with 35's and with the much shorter wheelbase of the QC. When towing the rake loss does not seem to be as big of a deal as its is in the mega.

I will take some pic's for you and post them so you can get a better look at it.

 

Don't listen to that Mike guy, he'll just lead you down a path of destruction, Welcome.

 

I got some pics up now. Hope they give you a good idea on those mini packs and some Kore stuff.

 

ICL,

Hey, belated welcome to the DTR. We are getting up to official status as much as I can give some time organizing some forms for the guys... You met Mike and still joined? Amazing..

LD..

 

Ran into Mike this morning....He is still grumpy about his dyno run.

 

MAyby I should go by with some coffee or beer to cheer him up

 

I think so....He may push his truck over the cliff.

 

He better not. He promised me his seats first!

 

I think that I'm going buy a new fUrd at least I'll have an reason why my truck didn't make any power. ICL you should come over and I can show all the tranny destruction pieces that I got. Might even get you sized up for a twin turbo set-up. Airdrie has a pretty decent diesel truck scene. I'm working on getting my neighbor to put in a 4b cummins into his jeep CJ, of course with twins on it.

 

We should, Chris needs all the power he can get.

 

At least he would have the coolest ride at the meet. <-beer
The tranny parts are going into the dump tomorrow. I keep kicking them around the shop.
