Yeah I know it's tuff to come up with money while in school. I don't know anybody selling one. Once you get it you will understand why nobody lets them go! Here is one in the classifieds... https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...t/24392/cat/12

Good luck! Eat some ramon noodles or spaghetti o's for a few weeks...and save up the $550.

NONE are on ebay, NONE on craigslist. . . so yes it seems that everyone holds on to them. i think i can get $400 for my edge with the HOT unlock, so this idea is somewhat feasable. and i have already been on the Ramen diet, HAHA


just bought these gauges, should be in by the end of the week. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...ate/1160004898

pretty exicted, leaving the digital gauges for some "sweepers" ought to be a change.

I know this is off topic but Bobby updated the Sled Pulling Rules to include water injection and a few other things for the Pull:

Updated Rules 2/23:

5E Diesel is providing the Sled: its $30 per pull per class, there are 5 Classes to compete in and has a $1000 payout courtesy of NADM (www.runnadm.com):


Tech starts at 5:00pm

Sled Pull Classes and Rules:
(Please read the Exhaust* paragraph carefully updated 2/13/09)

True Work Stock: OVER 8000 lbs. twins permitted up to 2.8 on primary charger. Single charger up to 2.8

Work Stock: Stock appearing turbochargers, 1" minimum compression travel on rear suspension, water injection prohibited, hanging weights prohibited.

2.6 Street Diesel: Single turbo, 2.6 inch maximum inducer bore, turbocharger bushings permitted, water injection permitted, bolt in removable solid rear suspension bars permitted, receiver style hitch required, hanging weights permitted, 1" minimum compression travel on rear suspension.

(*It is not necessary to have a stack or turn up pipe to compete)

(Questions about the Sled please call Bobby at 5E Diesel 817-528-2166)

Good to hear from you! I've been wondering where you ended up. Hope all is well.

There will be more going on this spring, and hope to see you.

I'm not surprised that you new place has a shop. Tyler is the only one from the old Waco bunch that comes around regular. I have talked to Wayne a few times and JB was at Alvarado last year. Maybe we could have a "reunion" when you get the shop going.
