I remember it being called Lt. Almond for the 05's too.
Put be down for Alvarado, probably won't dyno, no use until I have a fuel pump, but I'll be there. If I order it and it's in my hot little grimy hands by the time I head that way might could use some help putting it in. And if it's on my truck I'll dyno, otherwise no use, all I could do is test how much a difference there is between full power /stock exhaust and full power/ open dump.
I'll probably won't drag my trailer with me, unless I reallllllllllllyyyyyyy want to try out my new trailer brake a day early. (I'm going to a roping, weather permitting, on Sunday)

Will you have a pony in that trailer? Maybe you could enter it in the pulling contest.

Me and Jared are going to see TRANSFORMERS the Movie. You and Evan are welcome to join. Nothing but very positive responses about it. The special effects are just out of this world. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=158457


Prob been a while since ya'll have been to a good movie right??

Well...Evan was at Hurricane Harbor all day and didn't get to join us. But me, Jared, and Mike went to see TRANSFORMERS!!!

I asked Jared what he thought about it on a scale of 1-10. He said 100!
I agree. The special effects were simply awesome! Probably the best I have ever seen in a movie. Go see it if you get the chance!

Uhhhhh, tell the wife that!

I have been putting off the installation. Kind of tight down around the exhaust manifold for drilling on the 6.7. Hopefully next Saturday is a good day for doing it.

Y'all have fun!!!!

That SUCKS! I can understand selling the dyno, but NOT going thru with your commitments is something else. I'm surprised Bob done that.

I don't know if he still has it, but I think Chase at West Texas Turbo Diesel in San Angelo has one, or had one.

Jetenginedoctor on the TDR is from Austin and has a portable dyno dynamics dyno...think the guys name is Brian Kennedy. I dont have his number but Zach Hamilton in Liberty Hill should be able to get ahold of him as he brought that dyno out to Zach's shop once.
