Seriously....i think that would look tight on your ride.....even with the CTD "C" emblem......I would go with Flat black so it doesn’t look like you just painted over them! haha... Prime them up and then paint them flat black....would be inconspicuous but could be seen when looked at.....sticks with the theme....

OK, since I opened my mouth about the chili, I need to get a good count on "who and when". I know it's a week away, but I've added a poll so you can help with the info.

I'll be the judge.

Actually, we probably should just unload it and let it dry for awhile before it's spilt.

The girlfriend is heading to OKC on Friday early, so I'll probably be headed to Sedalia early as well.

Anyone need anything from the Cummins shop? Might be making a run down there this week for a few parts.

Good, see you Friday.

If they have them, injector o-rings and washers. Also, o-rings for the injector tubes. No biggie, but if your going...............

Justin, I need hose to make a new wastegate actuator/trubo connection.
I've been using Silicon hose, which is great for heat but is too soft.... my band clamps that hold it on keep cutting it and ripping off under pressure.

If they have right size with a good hard outer casing in it, I'd take 4' or so. (Gives me a future spare). Don't bother if any trouble...
I was going to run to McKinney Sat morn and look around anyway. The Cummins shop there is open Sat am, FYI.

El Presidente - You installing those Jammers??

While I'm here...............

I have jury duty on Thursday.....for the SECOND time in two weeks. I've tried to get out of it, but they just don't understand mowing, trimming and Dodge diesel trucks.

So, I'll be at The Ranch late Thursday or sometime Friday.

Also, for you Newbies, don't forget your drinks, snack, chairs, sleeping arrangements (truck/tent), etc.

No to the Jammers. Just want to be ready to install or sell.

Justin, depending on what your looking for, but you might want to call Southwest International before you depend on them to have parts.

Rowland, are you using shielded clamps?

They're designed for the soft silicone hose - it's the only kind we use... what size do you need?
