Hey I think that would be great if you could spring some space for us. I think we may need that kind venue.

Razor67

Welcome aboard... Hey any contacts are good contacts as far as a shop location.


I appreciate all the help so far guys.. I was out fighting through the snow here this week. Wow, what a nite to drive to Provost on Monday . Took me 4 hours (usually takes about 2 3/4 ) And to boot I was driving my bus.partners Dmax...EEEK... Anyhoo. Looks like we need parking for near 15 trucks if not more.

Should make for some good photos eh??? I REAALY hope the weather breaks for the GTG. I still have to call a few gents to see if they can attend.

Good work guys..

Got off the phone today with McKwynne's Performance. Ordered a 5" bd exhaust kit, valve body for the trany, bd cold air intake, and a bd programer for my truck. This will be installed the same time as my exhaust brake, torque converter, tow loc, and govenor control module.

Going to Calgary on tuesday to dyno it before the mods and then I will take it in after to see what I've gained. The shop will dyno it for $45.00 so what the heck, good deal as far as I am concerned.

I can't wait....

I got a read message on the email I think.. I will check. Ya, I haven't heard from PK in a while. Balzac was at the last meet. One guy I haven't heard from in a loooong time is Shawn.L.Turbo. I might have to phone Spanky, I don't know if he checks his email that often.

It would be good to see the original ABC members out there.



Razor, if its the PAAL BD dyno, the numbers might be a little high. Last time we crashed that party we all were making another 10-20% just for showing up.

Thumbs up NOV 20, 2004

Thats been the set date.

If you are gracious enough to offer the venue, sounds like a good spot to me. World gym seems logical for the testosterone levels of some of the young bucks attending.. LOL..

I would not take the BD dyno numbers as the written word. It will give you a good estimate. That dyno has and will give you any number you want. BD is "known" for inflating numbers a little to make their stuff look good.

I haven't seen Pat Kennedy since we all showed up at the "PAAL dyno day/$120K Duramax Bozo show"

Hey Jason, not confirmed but I may have 2 more trucks coming up with our group. Make plans without them just in case.

Going to put the DSS steering junk in this weekend, experimment to see if the Dodge will retire from sheep herding down the highway. Also any body looking for trade work (electrician, carpenter, pipefitter; industrial journeyman) give me a PM. PK

No question Darins stuff is number one otherwise I would not of even thought about spending the cash LiL Dog. I am just a little scared of the post installation as I have never driven this truck without a wander to it, I could have a wreck you know. Anybody got a picture of the mount for an Arctic plow Dodge front mount bracket???? The one I have is from my 98 Chev and they want $700 for a Dodge bracket, probably won't take much to make it fit my truck. PK

I have never seen a truck smoke all the way to Red Deer - interesting thought I'm game on a rendezvous. We can set a meeting time a little closer to the event day. Regards
