JB

I will get there about 10:30 also and we can wait and eat around 12:30 when Bryan gets there. I tried to get that P pump apart and it looks like some special tools are needed and I didnt want to tear it up so it partially apart.

 

[TractorNut]

Deezul. . you can go head and start eating without me. . I'll catch up. . I don't want JB to sitt too long. . there's work to be done. . Oo.

I'll bring the SPECIAL TOOLS... . BFH and Big Pry Bar... . That should about handle it... (actaully... I guess I need to see what tools I need to get it apart... )

Bryan

 

[JBHale]

Ah, don't think of it we ain't goin to eat with out ya there. I got all day to throw wrenches at people

 

[Tom W]

When?

Where?

 

[JKouzez]

NOOOOO well as much as it hurts to say it ( and im still struggling) I GOT A JOB and guess what i have to work on saturday and sunday. and then to add fuel to the fire i didnt get my DTT my uncle who ownes a transmission shop looked at it and it was just a seal that blew out about 60. 00 dollars, didnt charge for the labor. the truck is ready i just have to find a way to get it. my parents dont want to fork out 4000 grand until the trany is totally blown apart. so lets go ahead with the dvs and plate ( i bought a number 4 for it) i guess the only way i will get a dtt is if i leave transmission parts scattered along the interstate. its just been a crappy couple of weeks

 

[Deezul1]

Meeting at Rudys Bar B Q at Valley Mills and I-35 in Waco. Some of us will be there at 10:30 am and eat at 12:30. Rudys is behind the Elite Grill which can be seen from I-35 and is on the east side of the freeway right at Valley Mills Dr in the center of Waco

 

[Tom W]

O. K. I got the where. When? Sat or Sun?

 

[JBHale]

Sunday july 18th.

JKouzez , what not going to be there?PM me ... ... ... ...

 

[Sandmancw]

I am planning on being there on sunday, will there be enough time to do the KDP in my 3500 motorhome. If the KDP can be done, is there anything I need to bring? If there is a concern about clearance, my motorhome is about 11' 6" tall. Carsten

 

[JBHale]

Get ahold of a front crank seal, if you can Freightliner has them . You can try Kenworth also.

JBHale

 

[TractorNut]

11'6". . is going to be close... My doors are 12ft... . I'm more worried about the entrance... I don't have a pad poured out front yet. . and no gravel...



JB. . what about a tab??? I'm sure one can be made... (I have modified washers before... )



Deezul... do you have a shop fan you can bring??? It looks like its going to be hot tomorrow...

Bryan

 

[JBHale]

Got the tabs in the glovebox.

 

[Deezul1]

I can bring a fan or 2.



we might have to wait for Tractornut inside Rudys if its too hot

 

[JBHale]

Had fun, didn't even have to throw any wrenches. Lets start thinking of when to do a August meet. If we can maybe throw a Saturday in somewhere. There's more to be done, at least three more KDP's , Some fuel mods , maybe even a couple pumps. Doing Wayne's tommorow after work since time ran short. Thanks to Bryan for use of the shop, and the guys from the DTR site for coming nice to meet yall. WHat did yall think of Shilo's 98 3500 on 24. 5's? Hope to see yall again next time.

JBHale
