Thats one nice truck. Im the blue/tan 2wd 1st gen that runs around if youve seen it. Glad to have you on here.

 

Duallydog

who did you talk to about getting it started? i have tried a few and nothing back. i would like to see about starting one down here but i also have no idea how many DTR members live around Austin. anyways Thanks,

 

Eatmysmoke, Phil was telling me you were wanting to start a diesel club down here, I guess if you don't mind it being mostly Cummins drivers then this one club will work. I almost gave myself whiplash driving by your truck in the parking lot one day when I saw where your exhaust tip came out.
Fire Rescue124, I originally PM'd Larry (Top) but he forwarded my message onto DieselDaze, apparently he started the first chapter for DTR. You might PM him.

 

I've think I've seen your truck over at Bender/Ferguson. Thanks, your truck is in pretty nice shape too. I don't think I've ever met you, but I'm sure we'll bump into each other this fall.

FireRescue124,

I'm from the Austin area and would be interested in a chapter down there. I live in Dripping Springs, but I'd be at school in Stephenville during the fall and spring.

Duallydog,

I think this one club will work, and I'm in favor of mostly Cummins trucks. I had my exhaust in front of the rear tire, but it was way too loud in the cab so I moved it behind the rear tire. Plus, my rear wheel kept getting covered with soot.

 

i spoke too soon at the alverado pull...the guy who works in the shop in de leon told me that i needed to upgrade my fuel kit and i bragged and said it never really dropped much and stayed at about 15 psi... with my luck, 3 days later the lift pump dies...I am NOT in a good mood..

 

Ouch, hope it didn't take the VP with it. And what are you doing up that late posting at 12am?

 

i think the vp is fine...we'll see monday, and i was just up talking to the old lady and trying to figure out what im going to do for sure...i got another lift pump like the stock one for 160 at o reilly and i'll probably put a holley blue on it later...

it only has done it for like 2 days... probably havent drove it 30 miles like that... 14 lbs of pressure, then all of a sudden i have seven or eight, i hope the vp is still okay.

 

I think your VP will be OK as long as there is still pressure. Me personally I'm hoping my sensor or a wire to my gauges is going whacky, my pressure is sitting at 0 on idle so I'm about to make a call and get a FASS on the way. (I was planning on getting it this month anyway)

 

haha i worked a good bit this summer and i was going to put it towards my drumset...so much for that. the lowest it ever got was 4 or 2 i think...(i hope.)

 

I wish there would have been a Stephenville chapter when I was at Tarleton(Class of '04), cause I would have joined. There wasn't many 1st gens around that were in decent shape when I was there, but I did know one guy at school that had a clean dark blue D350 flatbed. I did see GasganoFJ60's truck the last time I was in Stephenville, and it looked pretty clean. Sure wish mine was 4wd.

 

OK, so who all is going to be there?

 

Friday right? As long as I get my truck going Ill be there.

 

Truck down?

 

I was doing the auto to manual swap and putting a bigger turbo. Took 3 weeks and a couple oil leaks to fix, but I got her rolling today. Just have to finish the exhaust. Im going to a 4" downpipe, so right now Im running downpipe only. So looks like Ill be there.

 

So whats the plan for Friday, still 7 I guess, but where did we decide to meet?
