[TClemens]

Is that the change from the transmission rebuild??

 

[TnLRacing]

HEY HEY HEY... we took good care of Todd. And still gave him the "shaft" :-laf

 

[TORQUE THIS]

[TnLRacing]

[TORQUE THIS]

probably been getting yelled at by the ole' lady...

 

[TClemens]

All I can say is wow, Mike did an awesome job, its even better than it was the 1st time, thanks Mike, be expecting a lil X-Mas present from me, Thanks again, im gonna take it out tonight for a lil drive to re-aqaunted, I just got done waxing it and removing the chinesse food bag in the back seat Mike do you have any pics of the flex plate?

 

[TClemens]

What'd you do, man? Break your transmission with all them horses? Nobody tells me nuttin. Anybody know where the best place to get a gasket set for my engine and new hoses? I wanna put it back together nice n snug when I do the head and cam.

A lil broken shaft and hub, also flexplate was on its way out the flexplate was an after thought, I figured seeing it was apart might as well do it, sure enough Mike noticed it was on its last leg.

Wow. Those p-pump converted 12 valves really tear stuff up when you put an Edge Comp on, huh? Maybe you should sell that 1500 chassis and driveline and step up to at least a 2500. It obviously can't take all the torque.

 

[MillerTim]

next he's working on a vp44 swap on a 24valve

so when do i get a ride in the black beast

 

[PRattenbury]

Hey, here's another goofy idea. Maybe common rail injection and a CP3 pump on a 24 valve..... NAHHH. So where do I get the best gaskets? Cummins?

 

[MillerTim]

yes sir, get them from cummins,dodge will have you limping out the door after you pay their mark up

Call Dan @ Cummins I was thinkin more like the new 5 valve per cylinder aluminum head from Cummins

 

[TnLRacing]

that picture does not really show it, but when the hub cracked it spread, and stripped the spline almost flat... no Splines = no Move :-laf

 

[Signal73]

thats not the only truck mike's shop has seen twice because of the hp the cummins puts down :-laf

 

[TnLRacing]

Most Common phrase heard around here, " no no no I only plan on like 350Hp so that should be just what I need" six months later and an extra 150-200 ponies the phone rings and goes something like this, " umm I know I said I was only gonna make 350 hp, but it turn out on the Dyno that is made around 500+ Hp, and now I have a broken so and so " :-laf :-laf

 

[TClemens]

Hey, I remeber saying somethin like that, then I started hanging out in Derby and MillerTim took me for a ride in the twinned shop truck and things just happend
