Ahhh, thats what I thought, got plans ,, darn,, I would have loved to go. Next year I guess

I still haven't gotten together with Ray yet on a date for the next GTG..

Now I have to get my truck to the body shop. 1 week after putting in the S300 and a mechanics truck on a lease decided it didn't like old Dodges. Crashed into my rear pass quarter and took it for a 20 ft ride without pilots in either rig!!! What a rodeo... I hate scratches never mind can opener dents.

Anyhow I was hoping to get a GTG for the end of April sometime, no dyno, just a chin-wag... That sound do-able??

 

Is it atleast a free repair? I'd hate to have to pay for something after someone else caused the damage. You could atleast get some new paint laid, make it shine. How's the new turbo treating you? Stay cooler?

As long as I'm home, I'll be good for a get together. Hopefully that would be on a weekend off for me. I guess I need a job before I can have a weekend off.

 

Currently just getting quotes. Supposed to be paid for, especially since I wasn't even in the truck.. I still have to complete my investigation report. So far its ringing in around $5K....

S300 works good so far. Still using my TST elbow I have it tuned for 45 psi.. I didn't think I had enough fuel for that without injectors, but it is cooler for sure. I don't get to 1500 right away, takes a good hard pull and by then I am out of RPM.. We will see what it works like with my TT behind. I am a little worried about injectors now..

I will see if I can get in touch with Ray this week..

 

If we cant get an official Dyno GTG, why not do a meet and great at a Timmys some where.

 

I'm in if I'm not working that weekend.


any local boys in need of Lukes links? I have 2 new that I'm not going to use........now I hope I don't get smacked for that. But I'd rather sell local.

 

New product line?

So whats up with the need of a driverside airbag? Or were you looking for a ball park price to sell yours for?

 

April dosent look good for me,, maybe in may??

Kevin

 

no, i don't need one. I have one out of the '94 we parted out.

 

Ahh, I was confused when you were posting about a 98.5.

Got the call today, heading to Sheerness for two weeks or so, starting sunday. Trying to find a place around there sucks. Then Forestburg starts right after that. I thought it was half decently close to Red Deer, but its 150km away! Yikes! That should keep me busy till the middle or late part of May. Should we start planning for something in June?

 

Ahh yes, Sheerness, you would have been workin with the great Doc Evil if he was still there. Heck you could have bunked with him right doc.. But alas he moved closer to civilization.. Welcome to Hell Tate... Good you got some work though..Better than a coal mine!!!

 

Tate, if you want, I might be able to find you a place to stay....I can see if my buddy Greg wants a room mate...

 

I've got a place in Youngstown for this job. $220/week. Thanks anyway, though. The Best Western and Grey Canada in Hanna were all booked up, and were around $80-90 night. I get $100/day for sub, so I'd be paying for my food and fuel on top of it. Atleast in Youngstown I'll have almost $500/week left for that stuff. I'm sure I'll be able to survive there. It can't be any worse than Millenium at Suncor, can it?

I did get my taxes back, so when I get off from this or the next job, I'll be ordering my conversion parts and hopefully start tearing into the truck. Should we have an Alberta Chapter Bomb Day? Jamie is gonna need a hand with that turbo and clutch.

 

I sure do need help. The injectors and clutch are a for sure. The turbo, I'm so flippin' lost in purchasing the right turbo and I just don't know which one to choose. I've never had such a hard time choosing anything until it came to the right turbo!!! 62/14, 64/14, SS, HTT, PS, SPS, Silver, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!!

 

On an aside gents, just met up with Morkable in GP tonight to BS and catch up on my way to a job. That's not the real important info. Did you guys know, he has crossed to the "other" side? Yep, got a ride in the Duramax.

Much quieter than the Dodge though. He still has the Dodge guys - not to worry! It'll be alright.

Just kidding Kevin! Nice truck! Ya know I just had to stir the pot a little.

Nice to see you again and meet the GF! Can't wait to see the outcome of the plans for the black beast we saw at the dyno.
