He' back !!!
Thankyou Luken and Diesel Power for keeping this tread alive in my absence. I do work long hours, and I swear Diesel Power has a
"CIA" information base with a network of spys, as he knows where all of us are at anyone moment in time and total knowledge what we drive.
Since the race season is up for me this year, and it is snowing outside at 29*, I have decided to put to rest some of the questions some of you have been asking. First of all the following information is totally true and verifiable by paper documentation and 2nd party observers. So let's get started.
Personal History:
I have been in the "hobby" of diesel performance for over 8 years. I have previously owned one 1st. gen. , two 2nd gen. , and current 05' 3rd. gen trucks. I live in Heber Utah, elevation 5700' and commute to work daily from there to 8700'. My truck is a daily driver. I am lucky to live near Salt Lake City, and other surrounding areas where many performance companies have started and grown through the years, and have many personal friends in the business. Ie. , Diesel Performance of Utah, Hytec turbos, Wildcat Diesel, Edge Products, Industrial Injection Service, Wide Open Diesel performance, Maddog Motor Sports, Bullydog performance in Idaho, ATS Diesel Performance in Colorado to name a few and other growing companies. I'm am not sponsored by any company or individual and all costs incurred for modifications to my truck have been provided soley by me.

due to the price of fuel I did not attend all of the events this year.
Additonal events planned for next year will be some in TEXAS
Obviously all modifications were not done at the sometime and many hours of testing and tuning were required to achieve the current performance level. As you can tell, I am not through in the modifications testing and tunning. My goal is to continue to use this truck as a daily driver, drive to and from events, and mainly to have fun and meet fellow diesel enthusises around the country. So far I have not had any major carnage or down time. As you know, there are many different dyno's, track conditions, and elevations to content with. That is why I like to attend as many events through-out the country to quantify my trucks performance against others at any given day, any given dyno, any given location, and any given track.
I hope I have provide a little inside about myself and my truck. However, I plan on not providing anymore specfic information regarding the above modifications or performance level for personal reasons and competitive advantage.
I apologize if I sometime offend others on the TDR, it is not my intent. I enjoy the TDR members and other diesel forms, as I am still learning about this "crazy" addiction.
