About time I found this place. Sorry about the Delay Crime Fighter. The start time is about 10am. Should be a great turn out!

MnTom....Tim doesn't have the parts available right now. He can get them within a week if needed. I'm not sure off the top of my head what he charges to R&R a trans. I can find out if you'd like and let you know.

Crimedog, (sorry about the mis-type earlier) We should have a good ammount of soot available for ya! Even the shop 4-wheeler is a Diesel!

So let's hear how the meet went!

I had a date with some "home improvements" that I could not get out of.

Sorry I wasn't there. I need a recap with great detail.

Naw, tranny is setting in the garage yet, trying to line up some help though. I really want to get it installed.

Your posts were not deleted on purpose. It was a honest mistake when Jack was upgrading the site.

See this thread...

If you have the time, fire that post in here again. I would love to hear some more details.

Aha! I couldn't figure out why he would delete those posts, it had to be a mistake, now I know it was. No problem Jack, if you read this, I still love this site


But anyway, I got there around 12:00, and I knew it when I saw it, nothing but Rams filled that parking lot. I forgot my drool cup, I really needed it, too, you could probably see my trail from my truck all around the parking lot! Again, the highlight is the ride in Andy's (TurboTweaker on TDR) dad's truck, that thing felt like a little sportscar, not a 7500 lb. truck! Got to see some cool installs, fire rings, luke's links (I need one bad), they put in a lift pump, exhaust, and probably more after I left. A lot of people there that really knew there stuff! My buddy (a gasser, but at least a 78 Dodge) said it sounded like he might as well have been in Mexico with all of the lingo he couldn't understand! Got to explain some of it on the way home. The best setup was a MINT 1st gen pulling a MINT 2nd gen on something like a 20 ft. gooseneck. I just about wet myself walking around it, it was SO AWESOME! I think I was the sole representative of DTR there, but was welcome just as much by the others, I thank them for that. I certainly learned how to spend a lot of money really fast, and how to do it right! Now, where's my wallet...

Oh, BTW, there is a truck pull in Buffalo on the 22nd, Josh Peters (president of MNTDR) and a couple others are pulling. Anybody that can should come and watch. It'll be a fun time for all. I was thinking about entering just for fun, but given my current tranny and financial situation (The twon just don't cooperate), I had better not unless I don't plan on driving my truck for a month or so. But I'll be there to watch!
