I didn't get a look at his face either, I was too busy pulling away from him . Anyhow, hey Tim you have to show me that trick of parsing this thread link in my sig. also. This discussion thread is working like a charm. I need to get with Sam at Mid South about that dyno day. I'm thinking if we can set a day early enough and get the word out it should be a huge turnout. When I 1st talked to him he said something about Bully Dog and/or BD Diesel maybe sponsering an event like this. If so, then maybe it could be posted on their web homepage.

WOW, thats a long ride from Dallas to Memphis. I just gots me a bunches of learnin on our new engines and trucks for 06

I will get on the flyers and let yall know ASAP. Probably have them done Friday. When is my truck supposed to go back to normal from that Bullydog downloader thing???? It still screams pretty good when I get on it. I like it.
I wnat to smoke out the snooty nosed TA kid to!! This discusion post is working great so far and its only going to get better from here. Let me know what any of you guys need me to do and I will make it happen. Needaram, hollar at me sometime and I will get you some flyers. We need some DTR stickers or cards or something. Im thinking a nice DieselTruckResource.com sticker to go on the back glass or something. I will see what the local company that makes our service stickers can do for me and let yall know. Keep up the chit chat and lets get some more people involved

Hey Dmax glad to see you back. Hey Rad, you can go to my 1st post now and find the link to download membership forms and info. Yeh, I was going to look into getting some stickers made up for us when I got off the boat, but if Dmax can get some faster that would be great. Hey Dmax, post or pm me you email address, so I can send you our "official" chapter logo.

I remember you mentioning the sticker idea but we never said anything for sure. I will see if that place we use is able and willing to do some for me and we will see.

streetsmoker

Thanks Dmax, I sent you an email with our logo. This bites, cause I'll be away from my truck for a whole month. I decided to get some 70hp DDP injectors along with a HTT 62/14 turbo, then I'm going to send off the Edge for their "HOT" upgrade. I don't know yet if I'm going to sell the Bully Dog or not, I'll know once I get everything else done if I need it ir not. What do you guys think?

DmaxEter

I got the logo e-mail. I found out that the company that does our stickers is in IL and not local. I will see if I can find some one local and inquire about this. Where did you get those flyers from that you printed up? I want to make my own but I cant figure the logos out?

As far as being away from the truck for a month, You know where I live so how bout you just drop it off over at my place and I will see to it that it gets driven at least twice a week

streetsmoker

I got them done at office Depot.

Yeah, I think I'll do that. Promise you'll keep the engine warm and tires inflated right? And you promise to never excede the speed limit. And I'm sure you have no idea what that little digital monitor is on the dash and what it does. And make sure you remind people that diesels are slow and unresponsive and then proceed to show them by how slow mine is. Sure! that would work.

DmaxEter

I'll take good care of it for you Streetsmoker They will know that its slow and unresponsive by all the smoke its putting out I promise
Speaking of taking care of a truck, I need to go change the oil in mine. I dont like to let it get past 4,000 between changes.
I guess they supplied the logos then for the flyers? I can find some on the internet and use them I guess. I'll get them done either way!!

streetsmoker

I wonder where everyone else is at? Hey Dmax is that free download still on the truck? Or has it went back to stock? TOO BAD mine is only for a '03-'04.5 or I would sell it to you to help finance my next power upgrade.

needaram

Hey fellas , it sounds like everything has been going good. Sounds like your doing some nice upgrades street. Dmaxetr I got 5k on my oil and I'm towing everyday, I guess its time for a change. BTW I got me a Suzuki King Quad 700 saturday.

DmaxEter

Truck finally went back to stock, Now I want more power back!!!
I ordered my dash mount gauge pod yesterday and will be ordering Fuel Press, Pyro, and Boost soon to. Im gonna run fuel in the cab to the gauge. We run oil in the cab on the Macks so whats the difference??

Congrats on the Suzuki. I had a 500 but it sat more than I got to ride it so I sold it. You will love it I bet. I couldn't imagine letting mine get 5,000 miles on an oil change. I would die.

OK, Heres the funny for the week. I got a new member to sign up and he is very intrested. He will be at the next meet if work permits. He owns his own buisness resurfacing and epoxy coating floors for airlines and big name NASCAR teams like Hendricks and DEI. Any way, he has a 2001 CC F350 dually that he pulls an enclosed trailer with all his tools and equipment in. I have helped out on some small projects with the truck. We put a flywheel and torque converter in. Since then he had to replace the engine due to cavitation. They had the trans replaced a while back with a Ford Reman. Well, the other day I get a call from his dad. Seems the truck just quit pulling. I drive to where he is and find the trans is GONE. Its making the same noises mine did when it pooped out. Well, they had been waiting for this day for a while now and a trip to BTS was scheduled for today. For those who dont know, BTS is a very reputable if not the best guy for the E4OD and 4R100 trans. He decided that rather than try and find a trailer to fit it he would just flat tow it the 4 hours to Lead Hill AR. This is where it gets good. The only other truck he has is a 93 F150 with 400,000 miles on it, not up to the task of towing a 8,000lb plus truck through the Ozark mountains. Thats where I put my two cents in. Lets just say that as we speak, he is cflat towing his POWERJOKE powered ford through the mountains by way of one very hansome and powerful Regular cab Silver Cummins powered Dodge Dually courtesy of ME. I think its great, the Flowerpoke Ford being towed to BTS by the Dodge. I wish I could be there to see him pull in with it.

This guy will be signing up with us. He is a very good guy and will fit in with the rest if us just fine. He is a good enough person that I let him take my truck on the trip without a worry in the world. Plus the braggin rights when he gets back are gonna be great!!!

Hey Dmax, you need to post that story in another thread it is so great and would get many responses. You know that once the ''BOMB" bug hits, there is no turning back . It is one of the most addictive things to get caugt up in. Just try not to get caught up in the "flovor of the month" club and you should be allright though. A lot of people spend too much money on nonessential cr@p every time something new comes along, and they just have to try it out. I know I'm going bigger, but I have a reason. Bigger turbo=better airflow=reliabilty with all the extra fuel I'm adding. That and getting rid of 1 box and going with just 1 very reliable and powerful box with better flowing injectors is a better approach than stacking in my mind. HTT 62/14 + 70hp DDP injectors + "HOT" Juice= 500very reliable and efficiant ponies. After that and I'm done for good.

DmaxEter

Well, the Dodge made it up there and back towing the Ford without out a single problem. As if that wasnt expected. He said the first thing Brian asked was why the Dodge to tow it with? He told him you got to do what you got to do. Brian let him drive a dyno proven 700+ RWHP powerjoke. He said it wasnt no joke and it was fun to drive. The trans in his truck was roasted pretty good but Brian took good care of it. Even burned him a custom ship for the towing they do. Johns very happy. For that price tag he better be.

I wish that Bullydog would work on my truck cause I would sure buy it from you. I dont really want a box that plays with rail pressure. It just seems that the guys trunning them have some problems with injectors and what not with those boxes.

Has anyone decided on a next meet? I know its still early but I cant wait. I hope John can make it with his new BTS trans so we can all try it out and see the wonder that is a BTS trans.

I saw that our thread was getting low on the board, so I decided to give it a little bump. I get off the boat on the 8th, and I could treet a few to meet-n-greet/dinner it would have to be low key and unofficial so I can get going down the road to PHX, AZ for my vacation on the 9th. As far as our next official one It will be either April 29th or May 6th. In a couple weeks, I'll post a thread with a poll and we'll go from there. Hopefully Sam at Mid South will be able to hold a dyno day for us by then if not, then I'll get in touch with Dynospeed and have it there.
