The Fat Kid

Andy

So Andy, are you old enough to drink legally now? And are the rest of us invited? Polishing trucks? Is that some kind of code for something else?



Jerry, do you mean Lake Elmo in the east metro?

 

[SpicyJam]

Yes Scott we are going over there, I believe his b-day is next month, I think. Should be fun getting everyone together again... ... ... ... . been awhile since I seen you... ... ... ..... like a year or so?

 

[JoshPeters]

So as of right now we have comming through the cities... .

Is Chilly Comming?



This could be a fun Bombvoy!



The only question..... will my truck be back up and running by then... ... .

 

[CumminsAholic]

I thought you guys just beat on your trucks and I was the only one who polished mine.

Corey

 

[HoleshotHolset]

Hrmmm... I could dyno mine, but it won't make much more than 400hp at the wheels. Unless... ... . I put in my set of cut DVs and borrow a big single charger from someone.

Corey

So far I've gotten good at polishing the INSIDE of my engine... .



So much for the rest of the truck!

I gotta clear it by the wife, but I should be able to join you guys! Sounds like fun, plus I like road trips! Who all of you has CBs?

 

[SpicyJam]

Lets see what does beat on it really mean? I have never hit my truck, nor kicked it. I have called it names, such as Big Pig, drifting all over the road POS, and an electrical nightmare. I don't think it has ever heard me, never has responded. I have had other vechiles in front of me throw sand and rocks at it, but then my truck gets mad and decides to pass them guys and fog the road with black suit, guess hoping that the AC or heater is running full tilt.

As far as beating on it, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I don't think so. Might just be a gauge check, like does my pyro read 1500 yep, and it goes there quick and could go more I bet, does the tach needle go to 4000rpm, yep, the speedo will go to the 120 mark until the dang peg stops it, fuel gauge does read F and E works too, boost reads 0-50psi and needle sweeps freely inbetween, so all gauges seem to work, it is good to check them from time to time. Maybe a little hard on tires, or maybe the subs pound the truck a little, but overall I have a great relationship with my Big Pig... ... ... ..... lol.

I think I should be able to make it to Mike's as well and I would be coming through the Cities. Might have to interview for a co-op that week but shouldn't be on Saturday. A Bombvoy would be great!

 

[SpicyJam]

Josh we have Billy Diesel coming also, I did talk to Chilly, he wants to come, but will let us know for sure as time gets closer.

Matt, yes I was bored, so I got to thinking, instead of "beating" on a truck it ought to be called gauge testing. Work was boring today, plus planning a funeral... ..... so I have a lot on my mind. Later Jim.

I think Chris is coming to with the white 1 ton, and maybe a couple of his pals.

 

[Alphacowboy]

Well, the wife will be in NY that weekend, so, sounds like a road trip!!!! Let me know where ot meet ya'l so I can tag along and see if I can keep up! :-laf

 

[TurboTweaker]

Well it worked for us last year. how about the Rogers truck stop off of I-94 6am that way we make it by 10:30-11:00am. let me know how many are going to bombvoy.

I'll be waiting at an on-ramp slightly north of there. Just give the phone a call as you come upon HWY 15. Also, I'll have my fan back on for then so I don't get warm above 90.....

 

[Alphacowboy]

Is anyone staying over night at a hotel saturday? I want to go up, but if I stay all day, i dont feel like driving all the way back at night. If any of you are looking to stay the night up there and swing back sunday morning let me know. My wifes plane doesnt come in until later in the day Sunday, so I would rather call it safe and head home sunday morning. I'll bring my xbox360 and need for speed most wanted! :-laf



Also, anyone have a set of used injectors that ya might want to part with on this weekend? I might be up for an injector upgrade if the price is right. :-laf

90% sure I'll be skipping the pizza at duluth infavor of this trip. I just ordered my clutch from SBC, and Mike there at Mikes custom trucks has a deal you can't beat to get this thing installed. Maybe a FASS as well while I'm there (budget depending).



Can I get an address of this location at this truck stop from you guys?

 

[SpicyJam]

Jason, not sure what ramp, I am just following, BTW I hope you got somewhat of a deal from SBC, I sell them a little cheaper than what is advertised... ... ... ... . later, I am sure someone will chime in on what exit it is.

 

[JoshPeters]

Address of the truck stop? It's easy... . Cruise along 94 to the Rogers exit. Just before that exit you will see Cabellas on your right. The T/A is also on the right, on the corner of the exit.



Josh

 

[Alphacowboy]

its the HWY 101 exit, cant miss it! THeres nothing else out there! :-laf





so, any of you guys staying or you all leaving saturday night? let me know, just curious! Like I said above, I dont want to drive home late... but I dont want to leave early either. what time you TC boys packing up to go home on saturday?



Also, any of you boys have a set of level 2 injectors that you want to unload for cheap? Sorry, I am a cheap a-hole! :-laf Jim, PM me a price on a Fass system and a pressure regulator for my fuel gauge (its only a 15psi so I need to regulate it through the isolator. I dont need all the fancy smancy filters or nothing, just the pump (unless you have a KILLER deal) Also, do you have a big line kit? I want to replace the OEM crap if its not too expensive.

 

[JoshPeters]

Last I heard, we are all headding back that day.



Northwood doesn't exactly have a hotel.
