Good luck on getting Tyler and Dan up that early!

I guess we'll have to leave without them.

9 guages??? Don't you eventually run out of stuff to monitor? What are guages 6-9, tire pressure, diff-fluid levels, and BS meter?

Rowland, you wake me up at 7:30 after a night of drinking and expect me to do anything other than throw stuff at you is about the dumbest thing in the world. Just ask my parents how I am.

I talked to Hunter and as of now he's going to be there as well so that'll be cool. Also just talked to mom and she's gonna whip up a big batch of her homemade chili and some apple cider for us. Rowland, hope your taste buds can handle this cause it's spicier than charlie's.

Dan, 9's a lot. I've got 6 and that's alot. What in the world do you use the other 9 holes for or do I wanna know?

Ryan, you laugh about the BS meter but I have one. Doesn't do much though. As soon as I open my mouth it just pegs out.

You don't have to leave that early... just give us directions to the donuts

Dan, 'Gear Vendor' temp ???????? Round gauges on the right hand side? i like that look. Need pics!
I want an interstage boost gauge, too. What's the reading on the two boost gauges?

Dont know yet...truck wont run due to shorted out ECM....someone forgot to hook up the injector wires and one of the back 3 grounded out.........SO we had to load the truck in the trailer today to take to the dealer to get a reflash done on the new ECM. We used a hill to help load.......didn't work....right fnt fender hit the cable on the door and trailer wall........Did i mention that the power brakes didnt work as well with out the engine running? Not a good day here at DPP........BUT its just the fender.....nothing else.......19 freaking miles on this truck..........

OH! And a weld broke on the trailer door and almost cost me a few toe's......one thing after another and another.......guess that is what i get for staying up to 2 this morn....
