Lower Michigan Meet and Greet

[mjoppie]

upper 30s, ahhhhhh summer weather lol :-laf so is there a close count of how many people are coming? i see theres quite a few Oo. is the shop going to be open to be able to buy stuff from? my friend wants some gauges and kinda thought we could kill 2 birds with one stone. so on a competitive note, whos truck has the most hp thats coming? both of my trucks say 180hp i belive :-laf anyone with twins coming?? just so i know how much bull s@#$ to bring with me haha :-{} does any one know what exit it is on? coming on 94e from marshal. i know where adraian is but some better directions would help a bit. 3 days and counting Oo.

Mjoppie What time ya thinkin of takin off ?? I live right off exit 119 in Albion. I think the best way to get there from our location is to take 94E to 127S and go to 223E (i beleive it's 223, but i'll double check) and that should take us right into adrian.

i figured on leaving charlotte about 2:00, that would put me in marshal at about 20 after. wasnt quite sure but figured that would be about right, maybe we could follow you in or sompthing. by the way wou dont by chance drive a black ext cab do you? i think i saw you this summer coming home from brooklyn.

 

[I-6DZL]

I drive a 2 tone Black/Silver 2WD ext cab I'm suprised you haven't saw me in charlotte, i go there to walmart when i don't want to go to B. C. or Jackson



I was thinking of heading out around 2:30 or so. You're more than welcome to stop by the house if ya want. let me know. You can't miss my house period. you can even see it from 94.

Count me in, I thought gltdr was dead!!!!! I live in Hudson Oo. Oo.

 

[IC Smoke]

So far 14 members and I think 2-3 non member trucks, So It should be a good turn out!!! I dont know about the whole products for sale that are IN STOCK but Im sure he (Doug) can order them and maybe get you a good deal. I posted the address and phone number to his shop... I think CPoling Is having his gauges installed that morning. Ive got to work so I will hopefully be there by 3 or ealrier to help get crap set up.





Ian

 

[rcaldwell]

I am going to try and make it also . It starts at 3:30 right?

 

[IC Smoke]

3-3:30 somewhere in there.

 

[I-6DZL]

I'm planning on making it also. I think i've twisted LsFarms arm enough, so he might be coming as well. IColeman do you think Doug would mind if Greg (LsFarm) brought some traction bars or stack kits for you guys to look at???? Greg is also a DTT rebuilder so if anyone had any ? for him, you could go for a ride in his truck.



Later Guys

i 6 i definitly saw you this summer, only one on 94 w/a tdr badge, passed you a couple times to get a look at your truck :-laf that would be great if greg would come, i talked to bill @ dtt about him a couple times and have wanted to see his truck for a while (the auto transmission)

 

[I-6DZL]

LOL i take you may have liked the truck ???? I love the way she looks when clean, wich is very hard for me to do. I dont recall being close to any other dodge diesels, maybe you were in one of your other vehicles ??



I'll tell you one thing Greg is flat out awesome with rebuilding these transmission's. Both of his trucks shift very firm, but not HARD. I think this past summer his blue truck (his daily driver) laid down 433 horses or pretty damn close to it. Also Bill has done one hell of a job engineering these transmissions.



What transmission do you have in your truck right now ?? The 95 that is. If it's an auto who built it??



I have directions to Adrian from Mapquest.com You're more than welcome to stop by and follow me.

 

[mjoppie]

i was driving my 98 ext dually, black, im pretty sure i remember that same truck you described, do you have a tdr badge on the side window? i have a 4500 in my 95 im in the process of getting some "top secret" clutches done for it. and also looking for a 2wd to trade for it, making it a divorced t-case this winter Oo. if you work towards jackson you seen it this spring at exit 133 on the side of the road, its 12" taller than most, silver w/black stripes, and says powerstroke this in the back window. we will probably follow you down if its no problem for you, if you want you can give me a call or i can call you to meet up or just some directions to where you want to meet.

 

[Digger]

I will be there with one other truck. Is it still on???



Dan

 

[I-6DZL]

Seems like i remember seeing your truck this spring, not sure though. I have a TDR grille badge and a TDR badge on the bad window, and also a GLTDR badge on the back window. You're looking to trade your 95 4500 4wd trans to a 4500 2wd trans right ?



Also anyone else that is coming from the West side of the state (along I-94) and wants to meet MJoppie and myself at my house let me know and i'll get you directions.

[Babyfat]

curtis,



did you talk greg in to going? i need to talk transmissions :{



john

 

[I-6DZL]

John I'm really hoping he can make it, but right now as far as i know he's still up in the air (unfortunately).



Have you rode in a truck with a DTT or even talked with anyone (rebuilder or Bill @ DTT)? They're awesome... . Can't describe enough how great they are.



I will call Greg again tonight and try and talk him into coming.



Curtis

 

[Ken Bultman]

Thats a bummer, I have a Christmas party to go to or I would be there. I also need to talk transmission. Cooker, if you read this post lets get together some time after the holidays, I know you live near by.

Ken

 

[Cooker]

I'll see about making it tomorow. I have a pretty busy morning that might spill over into the afternoon and right now the rearend it on the shop floor awaiting reinstallation. I suppose I could always take the car tomorrow.



Ken, I'll send you a PM with my contact info.

 

[mjoppie]

well you waved at the same time you got off the exit so i hope you remember me LOL :-laf its great to see theres a few people that see the same intrest close by, its good for the ego. and yes i would love to trade my 4x4 transmission for a 2wd transmission just to save the work of switching tailshafts! if anyones intrested i would gladly try and work sompthing out. if anyone does the whole silverlake thing a bunch of people are going up memorial weekend and i will be roasting a deer, if your intrested maybe we could make some plans to get a group discount, although i think we already have enough to get one. see ya tomarrow.

 

[Cooker]

Curtis,

Did you talk with Greg?



mjoppie,

I know someone with a 2wd auto out of a 1994. He might be interested in trading? What year is your truck?
