Local is always nice! Copied it to my DTR notes file
.043 O-Ring - Standard?
Gasket - Choices? Widest being thickest? Not following??

RJ

 

yep he says they use a .043 ring I questioned him about it and he said that is teh one he has had the most luck with... Was expecting either .041 or .051... As far as the gasket he says (all by what he said. ) they have tried numerous gaskets (Like 20) and found that using a particular gasket with the widest firering works the best...

 

Pro/sportsman valve springs are ordered!! Ordered them fro Rip and they are being shipped directly to the machine shop!! Money just flyin away!! $670 with 3 day select shipping...

 

Better ask for a raise..........quick!

 

NOTE TO SELF: Never park anywhere near the fire when there is a maniac burning waste oil, etc!

There was a heavy dew on the truck when I left this morning. When I turned the wipers on, I got nothing but a heavy film of oil on the windshield. I had to drive about 2 miles into the morning sun, and it was not fun! I just got through cleaning it with orange cleaner and Windex, but it still looks a little streaky.

 

Are you serious?? That's crazy... I apologize to el presidente!! Had to believe seeing the wind was going the other direction!!! Must have been quite the fall out!! Think of our poor lungs

 

Been asking for a raise for 4 years now... Parents jhust dont understand that $20 per hour for systems administrator work is pennies (especially where we live!!)!! Oh well it helps them out and me....

 

Yeah. My lungs are still hurting. My voice still hasn't quite recovered fully and I keep hacking stuff up. Don't think I'll be standing around that fire again.

 

Well just got the truck pulled to the shop from Denton... Do not know what the hype is about the Duramax.... took about a tank and a quarter of fuel to pull my goose 240miles half loaded half not... Truck was a constant struggle to keep 65 or 70mph... Tranny is probably shifted gears a thousand times on the way here...


Oh well it made it... Better than my truck can do right now

 

Glad you got it there. Be sure and take pics if you can.

My farrier traded his Dmax for an 07 Megacab a few weeks ago.

 

Well, thanks to you "people", I may be slightly modifying my truck. I drove a Mega the other day. Love the room. However, after pricing one out the way I would want it and then having the conversion done, it was over $60k I DON'T THINK SO!!
The plan is to get a full on DTT set up if/when my current auto gives me issues. I do plan on getting a fairly good size 5th wheel, 35+ feet with sliders. I know that a bigger turbo will help the towing and as B pointed out, I'll need to add fuel etc..
I knew I shouldn't have gone to the meet, look what ya'll have done...

 

I told you so! I guess the guy in the mirror won the argument.

 

Charlie couldn't have said it any better... Told u so!!! Keep it under 50psi and you wont be where I'm at

 

Just going to up the size of the turbo. Not doing anything with my trans unless it gives me trouble. I have pulled a 7% grade 4-6 times pulling over 12k with it with no problems.

 

I can't believe you guys were spooning!

.... isn't there a Man-Law against that?

Young's Chocolate Stout, Mackeson's XXX Stout, Strongbow's Dry Cider, Irish Cream Ale, Guiness Stout.... but no matter how think you drunk I am - no cheap dates around here!

On a pressurized, dry flow intake manifold, how much does it really help to make something like that?

Hey, I gave y'all fair warning about the contents of the Blue jug...
