Noticed your truck still in Caldwel George, I hope for sanity sake, you have it back in time for the trip, and its running good. Hate to see ya drive out in the Taurus. If you are picking it up in the evening someday let me know, might stop by when you are gettin it.. Yeah Pat it was nice today, so dang busy runnin around it took me a bit to notice. I did hit the woods for a lunchtime walk, lots of sign but no critters. Idid find one arrow tho so it was no secret spot, just another patch. Good for the mind woods nonetheless.

 

cause let me tell you there is nothing worse than showing up to a DTR function in a taurus when your surrounded by nothing but Cummins trucks around your car

 

Truck is running with no exhaust from the down pipe back and no pyro or boost gauge in the cold pipe, but it runs and I took it for a little shake down run. Let me just say it's Unbelieveable!
I only ran it on the Smarty 60 HP no timing/wild torque management and the C5 on timing only and it feels beter than when I ran it with an extra 100 horse on top those settings.
There is no comparison between just the 62/14 and the twins, and I only let it hit 50 lbs of boost for a moment because of break in.
Hopefully if all goes well, I will have it fully finished tommorow night.

 

sounds like fun, must have sounded like a beast as well, just a downpipe ! would not mind goin for a ride with ya next time we get together.

 

My neighbors officially hate me now! I wanted to go with you guys on the 20th, but it looks like it's not gonna happen for me. I'll take ya on the next one.

 

Good to hear you got her going Ang. Hey guys, check out what I just posted in the non-drivetrain forum. Maybe one of you can help me out....

George! your truck is on the lift in the shop, looks like progress, looks to me like you will have your truck back tomorrow ! unless they run into trouble anyways...... man what a day, tough to go to work knowing how nice it is going to get.

EDIT : dang guys, I got mine, a lot have yours, but here is a cheap way to get into the sac..... https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...t=18331&cat=12

 

All i have to say is what a day. I could be outside replacing my endlinks but the wife has the truck. It also needs its annual oil change but i have same problem truck not home. OHHH WELLLL

 

yup, i talked to mike today, and it should be done tommorrow. he installed the BD intercooler ealier in the week. im nervous and excited lol. hope theres no problems, he said its not just a bolt in and go, theres some tweeking and stuff i dont even know to do.plus hes probally going to take it out and beat on it lol.hes closed on sat. but i convinced him to come in, and get me my truck.what a day today huh. bunch of guys from the cummins forum are coming to that gig on the 27th in bordentown.

 

Got my horn fixed today. Apparently there was a fuse change where it should be a 30 amp and not a 20 amp in there, so I changed the fuse and it works great. Guess the shop forgot to tell me about the fuse change, but oh well, I got my horn back!!!

 

shoot George, I was not able to run past the shop on my way home tonight, did you pick up your truck ? if so, don't go bettin it in your next poker game, well not till ya show us what its got anyway.

Man, I could have sworn that I typed a reply to this before I left work... dumass must have forgot to hit [submit]...
Obviously I am still here, lurking about in the shadows... Headed up to PA tomorrow after work for a a birthday party, should be pretty well hammered at this one, after all it is at a hunting camp Then hopefully Sunday, the weather will permit me some seat time on the 450, cause I miss it like I would miss air.
Then hopefully some time next week will show the arrival of an axle/seals for the Wolverine, get that poor thing ridable once more looks so sad sitting there on the jack again. Also, I do believe it is timefor some U-joints in the rear, gotta find time for that.

Well, it looks like things are going to come together for the 20th in PA, have to talk at the locals, see if anybody is interested in riding up there. Is anybody interested in doingsomething next weekend?

 

lol hey pat. my faul i forgot that you were ohyehfriday lol. whats going on you going on the 20th and the 27th to bordentown meet.

 

The 20th is for sure, the 27th I have to see about. Might better read up on it, I know I am supposed to be around the weekend, gotta watch the dogs and I think we are going bowling with some friends Sat. night.
Mike, what was the name of the shop that you said you talked to the owner of? I talked to Kyle last night and he wanted me to do some looking around and pricing for him

I am going to say it again, I love this weather! Window down cruising, listening to the turbo sing and the pipes bellow. Music to a fellas ears...
