Dyno day is March 15th at Performance Garage in Smyrna. There will be food and hopefully a lot of trucks! The time is still yet to be determined, but I think Shawn is thinking around 10 or 11am. There is a link under the tennessee chapter that you can go to. Here is the link:

Should be a pretty good turnout. Correct me if I am wrong Shawn, but cost is $75 for doing the dyno. Anyway, check out this link, I think it will answer your questions.

Shawn, if you need some help with anything on that day, let me know, I will help out in anyway that I can!

 

Hey dodgeguy, JSPulliam asked you a question... I'd tell you JS, but I'd probably mess it up....

 

Thanks guys. That thread answered all my questions. I will keep checking for updates, and see you then!

 

Sorry guys, got way to much going on at the moment between exterior stairs, interior handrails, ebaying, etc, etc and some things take a backseat........they don't make money or give me a way out...away from the corporate hand.

yes, the 15th of March, time....not yet determined. Cost $75 to run, if you monkey around, tweaking, etc, blah, blah and Chris determines that your doing more than the standard $75 it's gonna be a bit more. I'll let him explain on the dyno day. Probably have "role call" post pretty soon....gotta go outside this am and start building more staircase landing stuff, took off two vacation days.....so I could work on side jobs.

So we have a president....me, we have a vice president Mark...who seems to be pullin a Dick Cheney on me here, Mark where you at?? We have the court jester, TnLoneWolf any volunteers for a scribe or photographer so I'm "politically correct". Basically could just take pics at the dyno, meets and post here I guess or something creative...up to you the officially unelected taker of this prestigious position.

Well, gotta get to work.......

 

I'm here, life has been crazy for me too. I will be there shawn with video and digital camera. At this point I don't have the money or extra mods to dyno the truck, we'll see what happens in the next month though. If there is a left over spot at the end, I may end up snagging it. Let me know if you want me to bring my grill Seriously, call me and let me know if you want me to do anything else. Also, maybe we can have a little swap meet? bring any bombing leftovers, turbos, old exhaust, anything that someone else might want... just a thought.

 

I hadn't planned to drive that far for a Dyno day - but mention Swap Meet or Garage Sale and you got my attention!

Anybody interested in some stock 2nd gen chrome steel 16" wheels, or most of the parts to build your own Appleseed Biodiesel Processor? I think I've got everything except the P and R in their parts list including the pump and temperature gauge, PLUS several plastic 55 gallon pesticide drums.

 

I was going to bring my digital camera as well, so we should have a good variety of pix. Still have to post some of the pix that I have from last Sat.

 

Is the dyno day only open to Dodges? Buddy of mine is coming from Maryland that weekend and he has a F-250 (couldn't knock any sense into him) with the 6.0L. He may be interested in doing a stock dyno run. Would that be a problem is everyone else is done running their trucks? Just throwing that out there.

 

Sure he can run!....(as long as he doesn't feel embarrassed) just kidding

 

Yeah it's open to all brands, heck if they had a VW diesel and wanted to run they could.....if it could turn the rollers!!

 

Appreciate guys.....I think my friend is aware that his truck won't even be close to a stock Dodge, but hey, some people have to learn the hard way!

 

Well, been out for awhile, still crazy busy!! Gotta finish inside handrail this weekend. I have 25 hours into the job(quoted 40) and have all handrail main stuff hung up. Now cuttin out filler and sections for inside. This is time consuming, figuring angles and all thing associated with handrails on stairs. Yeah, I can see why they say people fear stairs and handrails most. I guess if I actually done something like this before it would'nt be so bad!!! I'll post pics when they get them painted. I have to finish first!! Then next weekend it's the exterior handrail/stairs!! YIKES!! Got five days to start and finish that one, then it's back to work.

I hope to have it all done by dyno day cause my brain is like mush right now and I'm ready to relax for a few days. I've been blowing off people calling about fixing cars cause I just can't fit them in.

Well, off to dinner and relax, kinda for the night. Well, my work "transfer" should take place sometime in the next 3 months....thank goodness!!

 

Bump!
Dyno day is tomorrow. Looks like I won't be there.

 

Well got my wheels on. took pic with my cam/phone but can't get it to the puter. Have to wait til my wife gives my digi cam back. Hopefully i'll have my correct tires on the truck by then. I'm running the 265/75/16, first they are a bit to wide for the wheels, 6" instead of 7". So they bulge. The rears where real close to touching and I have checked them everyday and air them up to the max and it's real close. They actually rubbed a bit coming home from nashville yesterday, could smell it in the truck. The duals look a lot better than the singles. So I managed to raise 1k this week towards my tire cause. Gonna order the back ones this week and put them on. Hopefully finish my welding job in Nashville this coming weekend, if not the following weekend for sure, weather permitting of course.

Gotta haul off a couple old cars, old motorcycle frames and somehow gut the engines for the aluminum. Need to get rid of 25 batteries as well. Got a small fortune in scrap around my yard!!!

I guess our next big thing is Beans event. You puller guys need to let me know when that pull in Lynnville is. Thats a great one and I'm ready and the truck is ready to see some pullin.....no not pulling the truck, we just watch other people tear stuff up!!

 

Dodgeguy I bet the truck does look good now with the duals on. The pull in lynnville is April 26. There is a pull in Campbellsville this weekend(Mar 29). It starts at 10 in the mornin with the antique stuff. Looks like I won't be pulling in this one. I'll probly be there later on. Gotta get a dozer project done saturday mornin.
