How does this sound for Sept?

sounds like i get to go break my truck before i head out to a 9 day vacation in iowa LOL

I hope not!

why not my 3rd 4th gear synchro is takin a shat on me and it gives me a reason to upgrade to the dual disc i priced from my supplier. Plus i need to get ur injectors installed sooner than later and help kevin with his clutch to get some more much needing install time LOL. And ill ahve to call ya tonight or tomorrow. i got some news u might like.

99.9% sure I'll be making this one.

I'll be there for this one!!!

Charlie going to call Matt today and discuss the party.

Let us know.............?

Well I suck!!! Got off work late. Reschedule for tomorrow.

Party? Did someone say party?

Yes, myseld, Matt, and Dillon have the same birthday, 15th August.

Very nice.

Charlie you got the same phone #? Just tried to call and give details for a good time!!

Hopefully I'll be able to make that one.

Look who's still alive!!

RJ

I've been alive the whole time, just been in hiding. (wait a minute, I'm a chapter president, make that, I've been in an undisclosed location.) [laugh]

Just messin with you! Figured you were laying low... like a lot of us! Fuel prices and all that!

Good news... Diesel fuel... yesterday at Walmart in Durant... $4.11 and dropping!
I know we are about the lowest in the country but.... "dropping" is the key word. :)

RJ

Hard to believe we're happy to see fuel at $4.

anyone in the bonham area?

Depends, are you?

Charlie's ranch is up that way I think.

You are about 1/2 hr or so from "The Ranch". Just head south on 121 until Westminster exit....and then Charlie can take you from there. That is where i got my truck at.....

EDIT: Didnt see who you were....why you askin...i know a few folk up that way.....

O yeah...not that is matters to me...haha....Fuel at Wal-Mart yesterday: $3.89....and that station is known to be the cheapest in MO........[coffee]

Sounds good! It's different this yr.... Trucks only and starts at 5 pm Saturday! Don't know if there will be any camping there or not?

RJ

I'll start a new thread. :)

Duhhhh! Already a thread going........but off track........as usual.........

I think Charlie may need to go back on vacation. First time I've ever seen something suggesting to start a new thread inside the thread about the topic. [laugh]

Hey, is this the September thread? Maybe I'll just go back and keep posting in the July thread ;)



I'll try to make this one. Should be a little warmer than earlier this year :)



Justin, should I bring the gooseneck?

[laugh] [laugh] You may be right! These things get so far off topic, it's hard to keep up.

Justin may not need it but...If you bring it, I'll pull!
Micah, Dyno that AM would be excellent... if doable. Or Friday evening... if we can camp at Alvarado Friday night??

RJ

Hopefully no gooseneck needed...but it may not be a bad idea. [laugh]

Or I'll bring it with me just in case someone else needs it.

BTW, I found a good, easy to implement anti-theft feature over the weekend.

If you move the white latch on the big harness at the top of the firewall to the open position, the truck won't start. You don't have to unplug it, just move it to open. It only caused a small amount of grief...

Sounds like a hard lesson learned. [laugh]

AND then how many codes are we resetting after all this? Reason is some of us dont have a Smarty yet! haha.....[duhhh]

Not too bad. A little worried after the first couple of tries at cranking. Then when I didn't hear the lift pump, I was thinking that the LP died. Then just before pulling the plug on the pump and checking for connectivity, I figured I'd check for codes. That's when I discovered that I had no connectivity to the ECM. So I rechecked everywhere I recently had my arms and hands since the last time it started.

Just two.. No bus communication from ECM and a companion code. But they'd only be set if you try to start it. [laugh]

Good point...key off...no codes.....good tattle tale as well......

It's looking like the official meet for my crew will be at the pulls too. So there should be plenty of us...not pulling.

:chirp: :chirp: What happened to everyone?

Just got off work about an hour ago, now packing to head to Giddings for a wedding this weekend.

Taking the car instead of the truck...that should be a new one. I always make that trip with the truck. So no highway testing this weekend...

Which injectors did you end up going with?

How about a little head count for Alvarado.....
