[SpicyJam]

I will bring what I have, have to run down a inch torque wrench. I have no crows feet. Picks I have, wrenchs I have and a varity of metric crap. I am just going to grab the top half of the roll away... ... ... ... . lol. The foot pound torque wench is not a clicker though.

 

[Amianthus]

I have everything we'll need. I just don't want to load my whole tool box into my car. I can bring whatever we don't have. So just let me know and I will load it up in my car. I will say they must all be clickers. I won't work with anything else. Sorry.

 

[SpicyJam]

Well I can get a clicker and have 2 inch pound wrenchs now, didn't know how far down you had to go, so I have both, have crows feet now too. Just let me know what you need and I can round it up... ... ... ... lol.

 

[Amianthus]

BTW, I'll be driving the un-marked cop car.

 

[JoshPeters]

Alrighty guys... those who want to bring something... please bring a bag of chips and your favorite beverage. Anyone who has Diesel Truck Pulling Video or Diesel Truck Drag Racing Videos please bring them. Tim has a flat screen TV at the shop.

Gentlemen, We are primed and ready for Saturday. I feel the law is keeping a close eye on the area. I'm asking that everyone drive conservitivly. The shop next door had a costomer get pulled over due to loud exhaust within a block of the shop. Just a little FYI. See ya Saturday.

We're doomed if the straight piped Duramax guys show up... ...

 

[JoshPeters]

Like I said before. If you get pulled over... it's your deal. We are just trying to keep attention away from the shop so we don't have to watch our rear ends all the time comming and going from the shop. The guys next door have 2 race cars. They are running at the Princeton Speedway tonite.

Josh;



Did you invite the guy from the place in Ramsey where you hosted the dyno day last fall?

He might have tips on dealing with the local regulatory agencies.

 

[JoshPeters]

I was thinking about it... . but he is in Ramsey... Tims shop is in Elk River. Word on the street is... . there are a few new cops that are trying to make a name for themselves.

[RSarvie]

If I can't find the place, I'll ask the local cops...



I'll grab a couple of cases of soft drinks on my way down...

MNTDR Meeting

Just wondering how things went up in your neck of the woods at Torque Diesel today?Oo.

 

[ChillyDog]

I don't want to speak for everyone, but I think we all had a great time, and a great turn out! I think there were quite a few exhaust and intake sytems installed, an injector/banjo install for SpicyJam, some fast (and some slow) Luke's Link installs. Oh, and a few rounds of dumpster jumping!!!

 

[Weidner]

Thank You Kevin!

My wife and I had a great time, thanks to Kevin. His organ donor program gave us fuel pressure again. Kevin checked our fuel pressure and it was at 0 at idle, after confirming the gauge was working correctly, he went over the top to help us. Since he has the F. A. S. S. on his truck (and we will soon, after the conversation on the way home) for a few bucks he took his lift pump off and swapped it out with our dead one. My wife, our truck and I thank you very much. I just ordered my fuel pressure gauge on-line and hopefully won't be needing to take anyone else's lift pumps from them.



Thanks to Tim and all the great people there today. I want to get back up to the shop soon and talk about one of those exhausts, and an intake, and some injectors ..... aah when will it stop!!!

Mr and Ms Weidner, Your very welcome. I just wanted to see you have a good lift pump for that VP44. It sucks having to replace it, I know all about that. Hopfully in the future you could get a F. A. S. S on it and be done with it. Well take care and hope to see you guys soon.

It was a great turnout, I'm glad I could make it.



For the guys who had the luke's link installed any improvements?



Josh,



I guess my springs will have to bounce around in your back end until May22nd in Buffalo as I forgot to get them.
