Alaska meet in fairbanks?

[SLinse]

Anyone interested in having a meet in the Fairbanks area in the next week or two?? I would love to check out other trucks and swap lies!

 

[TGaines]

Tell me when and where. Let's try not to make it a Saturday if at all possible. I can't make it on Saturdays.

 

[anomad]

I'm game! Just say when. Weather is good now maybe we could meet up at hill top truck stop or something like that, give me an excuse to drive a little.



My truck is laughing stock, but that would moivate me to least wash the darn thing.



TGaines, what days are good for you?

 

[SLinse]

How about this Sunday (May 2nd) around 2??

I'll ask permission..... and get back to you here. I'll ask the fellow diesel huffers I know if they are interested too.

 

[SLinse]

ok Boys are we still on for sunday at 2 at hilltop??

 

[TGaines]

I will try and make it by 2 on Sunday. My kid has Hebrew school on Sunday and the times are switching so not sure when he will be finished. BTW, how do you get to this place?

Go out towards fox and stay on the main road (dalton Hwy) it's probably 5-6 miles past the weigh station in Fox. You will get to the top of the hill and should see a large truck stop on the right hand side of the road.



Or I will open all weekend if you would like to meet somewhere else... ...

Sorry I didn't make the meet today. I was all set to go, I was even in Fairbanks, but my wife was getting her studded tires removed and Sam's was taking forever. I couldn't just drop her off to wander the aisles until they got around to it. Sorry if anybody waited for me. I really would like to get together with you guys, I guess today it just wasn't in the cards. Let me know when you guys want to try again.



Thanks,

Travis



ps How do you know if your TC is slipping? I can't tell if mine is or not. It's driving me crazy though.

Dang, I was in Valdez snowmachining. I would have been there. My buddy George mentioned something about it Sunday night when I ran into him last night.



We should do it again sometime. It would be nice to meet some of you guys from around here.

 

[anomad]

Loser checking in here. I ended up having to work... ...

Sorry I didn't check back in like I said I would.



If we set up another meet I am still game!



Off topic: but where do you guys go for parts and goodies? Specifically exhaust.

I think it would feel like a slipping clutch. rise in RPM but no additional speed

anomad,

Power and transmission is a great place to get stuff. They are on Van Horn across from Gene's. I also have a buddy in Eagle River that started up his own diesel perfomance shop and has some pretty good prices.

[SLinse]
