Jr, the meet is on Sunday, just to make the quick correction. Looks like things are changing, I will no longer be in PA this weekend, going to be leaving from home in NJ. Are we planning some wrenching at this party? I still have all those lights sitting around just waiting for me to take the time

Mike, can't wait to see the flares on there, bet it looks killer You guys will all be jealous of my ride I am sure, currently running a set of 265 STT and MAN they look small compared to the 315's!!

 

Pat i know it is sunday, my days area all screwed up.

I realized i was supposed to go outside albany NY this weekend seeing if i can switch things around.
I could go up sat. and come back for sunday i guess, but that is a lot of driving. I will keep in you guys up to date

 

I kind of figured as much Phil, just had to be certain you were planning the right day. Hope you can still make it, but that is definitely a lot of driving over a 3 day period...

What route are you folks planning? Up 23N over High Point, then 84 out to 81? I was kind of figuring on 206N to milford, and grab 84 there, not that it really matters either way. Pay a 75c toll going into Milford, or spend ?$ on the black cloud going over HP

Where is Angelo at lately? Guy gets his twins in and disappears...

 

I'm here everyday for at least a little bit. I just have not had anything to add to the conversation for the last couple of days.
I've ordered the block off plate for the rear freeze plug and after I get it I'm going to make up a template for anyone that's interested. I had such a hard time finding someone who had them for sale, and the lead I had on a template never materialized. This is the plate that bolts to the rear of the block above the transmission bell housing. If anyone is interested let me know.

 

Glad to see your still lurking about Ang. How are the twins holding up?

I am probably not going to make this weekend, but am really looking forward to the Spring Fling which is a month from today. Again, I volunteer to be anyone's tow vehicle if you think you may make it there and not home.

 

did rich brown help u out with the block off plate?

 

There holding up well! The truck is much more fun to drive. I'm limiting boost to 50-55 lbs for now untill I get the block off plate in. It's nice to not have to watch the EGT gauge all the time.
I will be at Spring Fling, but I hope I don't have to take you up on your offer. What day are you going? I might try to do both days.

 

Yes, he finally got another shipment in. I'm surprised more companies don't offer the plate. Now the only problem is getting the sucker in. I have no idea how I'm gonna do it without dropping the transmission. I was thinking I might be able to get it in place with a telescoping magnet and then tape the bolts to a socket with a long extension and get it from underneath.

 

was it a lot $ im going to need to get some when the trans gets done how many did u get?

 

i think we need 3
front, side and back

 

Angelo, I have to laugh, you are like my boss. Doesn't seem to be about, haven't heard from him, haven't seen him, until you mention his name and BAM, there he is I can only imagine what the truck is like these days, must be a dam monster Do you think you are going this weekend?

Tom, sorry to hear that you will not be making the trip up this weekend. Did you ever get any realistic offers on your truck?

 

? me
sooo confused

 

No offers on the truck that I don't laugh at, so hanging on to her for now. Ang, I think I am just going to go Saturday. Leave real early and spend a good part of the day up there.

 

so what time is this convoy headin out ? anyone want to meet up along the way ?? don't forget to bring your spare parts and $ for stuff ya might never see at a good price again.

 

I am meeting up with you guys whenever you are going by me I haven't decided if I actually have nything to sell, but will probably bring along a little extra cash just in case I have to let my buddy know when we are meeting up with you folks, so the sooner we can figure it out, the better
