i'm looking forward to the looks on people's faces as a convoy of dodge diesel trucks rolls by on the QE2!!!

I'm still running the dyno. I'm in for the free super. I'll bet 435rwhp, mines stock, so I should be close.
I might get a few more to come. I might have three to four more guests, that may or may not run the dyno.

Any volunteers to help me swap injectors in the parking lot before I pull?
Can't get to the truck until then...
I rigged up a home made slide puller yesterday but need a deep 24mm or 15/16 socket..
I probably heve wrenches for the lines in the truck....

Thanks Dude,
but I might be done by the time you get there! LOL.
Take your time on that highway.....
I'm gonna try to make it there the night before as I'll have the kids with me I hope....
Last time injectors were done I was handing the wrenches to Wildcat Rod so I'm sure I could do it by myself if I had to.

Did you know that if you have a flat on one of the duallies you can't tell...Was at Canadian tire today and for some reason I decided to check all my rear tires...One inside dually tire was completly flat...Wonder how long I was driving with that flat....Stupid screw is stuck in it...

I can give you a hand. I used wrenches for taking the hold down nuts off, just need a good bar (ended up using a crescent wrench) to pull them out. Fred knows how to change 12v injectors as well.

Ok, thanks Tate.
Just thought it'd be good to get exactly 44 lbs on the nuts so they don't leak. I'm draggin my torque wrench, anti-sieze, puller, install kit and, of course, injectors with me...
Was also thinking of bringing a hand grinder to attack the AFC foot but on second thought may just install the hr 370's first then check smoke and adjust the smoke screw and star wheel if it needs more fuel off the line....
Hopefully this could be done on the dyno at the time as it would only take a sec. Then pull again.
If it needs that plate I ground up dropped in I may do that too, off the dyno.
I also have here a couple of small springs that turn a 3gsk into a 4 so, Tate, how hard is it to keep the revs under 3200 with a 4gsk? Think Martin can do that easily?
My last dyno graph had peak torque at 2750rpm. If I installed a 4gsk but only spun it to 3350 like the last time would that move my peak torque down the rev range, say to 3000rpm?
While I think of it Tate, if Martin rolled in slower on your white dually would that have moved your torque peak further down the rev range resulting in more hp?
Was your Nov. 2007 pull done with a 4K gsk?
Kev: should touch down about 6 then grab a hack to take me to my truck....
Hopefully grab the kids at the ex's place without incidents and hit the highway by 7 !
