It was a great afternoon!!
All the trucks looked great. Nice meeting a few new guys & seeing everyone again. Although for the 1st hour I just had eyes for Brad's new twin turbos!
You know you are too focused when you spend more time checking out turbo's than checking out girls!
Huge thanks to Diesel Dave for organizing & making this event happen.
Thanks to Brad for spending a ton of time talking turbos with me & taking me for a test drive. Those DDP twins are awesome!

WWW.atpwrap.com,they offer a full quiet kit for us guys with the louder Cummins but i just bought the hood linear(400.00US about 5 years ago)Very quality stuff as they do quite a bit for US navy ships with wrapping the engins/heat issues.Mine weighs about 25LBS and the stitching is top notch.------PS once Brad gets his studs in that dually and can drive it hard---- man that truck is going fly down the highway.
hahaha yeah i can't wait. on a side note i drove kyle's truck yesterday and was quite impressed with it. I've never driven a 24v until now and the responsiveness blew me away. He's only running a juice w/ attitude but it sure was alot of fun to drive. definitely need to do this more often for sure

bigd, I did do a few decent burnouts yesterday at few of the traffic lights. I heard thru the grape vine, you got some special injectors built up You putting on a P pump or a monster pump..sad thing was that your truck was one of the nicest rides prior to the hail storm. Mines just rusty beasty, with no interior panels on my rear quad doors. That truck will just haul.
As for the roof, it might be a nicer job if you just replace the cab. My doors are getting pretty good and rusty. I'll sand blast my door sometime this summer and use some POR15 on the them. Spray bomb on some white paint over the POR15. nothing fancy, but will stop the rust monster until I have some extra $$$ to do my truck up.

Not touching the pump yet but I am turbo shopping. Any body have a comp wheel for a He351ve or a super hx40?

BigD, I can probably fix you up. Just let me know what you want. I hate to say this, but sometimes it cheaper to just buy a new turbo or just go the twins route. The S300's aren't to badly priced here locally. You have a camshaft in the truck? It sure wake up the motor up in the higher engine rpm's.

Thankyou---believe it or not but most first asked questions about the truck are is that the original color.YES---DODGE PB3.Maybe the 8-10 hours prep time has something to do with it,wax twice a year since the beginning needed or not.Mrs likes burgundy or Chevy new deep purple/black.DW

Great show, trucks all looked wicked! I'm still laughing in my head at those mechanics that had to ask if brads truck had twins after peering under the hood for a few minutes...
Just curious, anyone snap a pic of my truck all twisted up on that ramp??
