Yeah I have all those extra pieces in my toolbox, you just have to see what I will need. Saturday afternoon work for you? I would be in the area around 3 or so.....

 

so far as I know thats fine, man am I whooped, what a day...... what happened to the warm from yesterday ? sukt out there in the wind.

 

Okay I will call you around 3 when I get out of work. Hey, at least its not cold and rainy out there. This weekend is supposed to be nice, in the 60's on Sunday.

 

its about time the weather starts changing for the better. i can't make it this weekend have another first communion. Don't want to miss this one this is the side of the family that like to party

 

Does anyone know where I can rent a travel trailer? I am planning my vacation this year and would like to hook the truck up to a trailer and go somewhere like Myrtle Beach or Virginia Beach. I am also planning on going to Dover, DE for the race this year and would like to not sleep in my truck.

 

man what another nasty day, nothin like workin on brick pavers with a rain comin down at 37 degrees....... had fun on the way home tho, killed all the mosquito's in front of the shop in caldwell, not sure if I saw Georges truck there still or not. ya get that hts in there yet bud ?

EDIT: dangit tho Tom, just remembered tomorrow is shot, morning I gotta pressure wash a building, and then heading to an auction from 11:00 am on..... will be a long day, totally forgot its the 5th dang, how bout Sunday ?

 

No big deal about tomorrow. Sunday is out as I have to do a job in the morning and then watch the boys turn left afterwards. Actually, I have to do the job at the office in Verona if you want to swing by there. I should be there around 9am or so.

 

you watch Mcdowell wreck his ride in qualifying? I think I saw the double zero's nine times when he was flippin down outa turns 1 / 2 man what a wreck and to walk away without a scratch, what a job building a safe car for them to race, 185 mph into a wall and walk to the care vehicle, and then walk away.

 

yup, the trucks still at mikes at auto wurks deisel.dusty should be sending my tranny back on monday,had to order the billet output.driving around in a taurus which im kicking the living crap out of, and yes i got the insurance lol. whens the next meet or wrench day. talk to you guys soon:

 

there is a good meet up at petro's in Pa, on the 20th of this month, good bunch of PA guys and one of your few chances to see a dakota with a 6bt in it. the thread is in the PA dtr chapter : https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=196496

 

How far is that from us?

 

i just went on mapquest and it said 1hr 35 min from me. 82 miles, any second thoughts lol.

 

bout an hour and a half isn't that bad, tends to be quite a swap meet usually, sold my edge ez there the first time AI was out there, lots of other good things for sale as well. if you have spare parts, stock turbo/ manifold/ perf parts/ amps subs, heck, even trucks for sale, bring it and money !

 

Today was a productive day up in Vernon. I installed the head studs and adjusted the valves. The intakes were on the loose side of the spec. and the exhausts were all loose. Brought all of them to the middle of their specs. The truck runs noticeably quieter and I would recommend that everyone check theirs. Total time ran me about 8 hours for everything.(I'm slow I know)

Hopefully the weather stays this nice and maybe next weekend or the one after I will finally install the twins.

 

wow that is a productive day, ill pay ya to do mine lol. yeh that is a good idea to bring some stuff to that meet, should be cool. i have a stock turbo, with 3500 miles on it, the edge j/a. hope the weather is good, i guess we will train up there.
