Bah...I can bench press my truck too, no problem ( dang, where are my floor jacks?)

There's a fine line between "courage" and sheer "craziness". Besides, I'm rusty, and could use a demonstration to learn by...you challenge him first . I'll shout encouragement from the sidelines.

a little off topic, but I need to know from locals, anyone know the best place to get an FP gauge and what kind? I could not find one in Red Deer at all. Going to Edmonton tomorrow, anyplace there?
Also might need injection pump Best Place? Price? Can they be rebuilt?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I would look at the holley black FP that is what rod at wildcat had told me to look at if mine goes, I can't belive reddeer has no fuel pumps I mean the mopar parts wharehouse is right on the highway

as far as the VP 44 I would steer clear of dodge and look at aftermarket companies like piers or bd etc being they are more forgiving with the boxes and upgrades, plus the last I looked are also cheaper still around $1500 though

I second the vote for PIERS.. If you talk to MDKRam you might be able to get one pronto to Edmonton.. He got my stuff from PIERS overnite and might be able to help with the install etc. ( I am not volunteering you Marc...>LOL>..)

I hope you would be able to find an FP.. CT Performance out of Rimbey might have something? I know CTDKLone is running one of their pumps..

As far as a gauge goes, call S&W Diesel in Red Deer. They did my shutoff valve and also do some CTD performance..

What about McKwynn Performance in Olds. Isn't he a BD dealer? I thought he was coming to this little shindig? Let's just replace it in the parking lot!

Tim replaced his pump on the 03? Or does he have a different truck now?

Er...I'll put 10 beans on you too. But I want a donut AND a coffee.

Just remember, Hanna-Boy is first.

(ooo! way off topic, sorry, but in traffic tonight a jet black 03 or 04 3500 pulled up beside me...dual pipes

Think I scared him because I was leaning WAAAAY outta the cab to better hear the music, just staring at his truck's **** with a blank look on my face while drooling all over my door.

And Mister Doctor Evilness...your PM box is full

Maybe I was too militant.. I hope he would join us for the event. Should be fun and he could answer some questions on the spot about some of the BD products. They were on "Two Guys Garage" here last weekend on Speed Channel.

-----
After talking to Body Mechanic we have confirmed that the World Gym in Red Deer will be the location of the meet. He has offered his parking lot area for our get together.

I will post the address here later on so you can MAPQUEST your way to it.. It is in the South end of Red Deer Near the Canadian Tire (thinkin of you Von), Tim Hortons (again Von) and the larger mall with the Tony Romas et al in it..

I was thinking of a 10:00 am meeting time.. Sound OK??

J-eh
