Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[HeavyHauler]

I was using the chart on Piers' website. It looks to be directly proportional with a +/- 0. 1mm tolerance. Looks like 1/10mm of lift is equal to 0. 5* of timing.

Let me know if I've done something stupid - I've used this chart before for other trucks. :-laf

Anyone have or know of someone who does and wants to sell a stock air intake for an 03, if so PM me or email me at -- email address removed -- thanks, oh yeah, HEY everybody!!!!

 

[WadePatton]

The problem is trying to integrate the Piers chart with the dodgeram.org chart.



So nebbermind that. It IS linear (for the range) if you stick to one chart without numbers from the other one. Close enough for HPTD work.



Carry on.



edit: been for some more treatment. feeling better. might actually get under the hood tomorrow.

C'mon in Hawkeye. What part of the state are y'all looking to live?

Thanks for the welcome guys! We're closing on a house in Bellshire Estates which is just outside of Nashville on the north side of Briley Parkway on Dickerson Pike. With a decorative concrete business, it's not to easy finding a place in or close to town where I can park a few trailers and Bobcat.

As far as getting in for free... ... . my wife is a song writer (the reason we're moving to Music City) and she's got a few connections now and hopefully will have quite a few more in the near future that I can pass on to some fellow Diesel Junkies.

Anyway, with all the stress of packing, moving, shutting down the business here and starting up there... ..... I'm gonna need a few truck pulls to help me calm down again!! Gotta get the dual disc clutch on the way.....

I've got one you can have if you can wait for a few weeks till we move over there. I just saw it yesterday and realized I need to do something with it soon. It came off my truck bfore it had 3,000 miles on it.

 

[AndyMan]

You sound like our kinda guy! You're gonna fit right in.



It JUST so happens, I need some masonry work if you fancy a quick job right of the bat. LOL.





... and re:songwriting; I am in NO way connected to much of anything in the music biz, but a know a few people here and there. What kind of music does she write?



... and if you're interested in a cheap t-shirt, check out our other thread. I'm fixing to place an order for the group.



Hey Gary, I've been trying to think of a humerous reply to the "payoff" comment... sadly nothing's coming to mind (at least nothing I can post in public) lol.

Welcome and clutch

Gotta get the dual disc clutch on the way.....

Before you go and order a dual disk you should check out the ZVT Stage 2 Clutch from Zoom. Our buddy Gary can tell you all about it. Just had one installed this weekend. More on that in a later post



Welcome to the group.

Mid-Tenn Dues

Andy, how about, well you got what you paid for or yep, that just about covered my diner at Carabbas, or now I have a little bit more in the cookie jar for the new as yet un-found consumer of #2.

Still waiting for my photo ID and Mid-Tenn secret decoder ring/torque maker/mileage increaser/chrome shiner/tire smoker/ that you promised with the CASH not check payment!

 

[Dieselnutz]

Welcome Hawkeye 04! I am looking to do some decorative concrete! I got a guy coming out to look but I am not committed yet. Let me know if your interested and I will wait a few more weeks.

Don't forget that the MTDRTMMICSTS (Mid-Tenn secret decoder ring/torque maker/mileage increaser/chrome shiner/tire smoker) goes on in two places. The magnatism cell goes near the tank to magnatize the fuel before the LP and the de-magnatism cell goes between the LP and the IP. We found that magnatized fuel incalubalates the LP and that demagnatized fuel exchirpulates through the IP, thus the Shiney Chrome. OH and be SURE to get the intake air turbulationasters positioned properly. Anti-clockwise before the intercooler and clockwise rotation before the turbo. This greatly reduces air molecule copuloration at most altitudes. (REVERSE the install for use outside the continental US. ) And don't forget to regroove your tires to our club pattern. It's a big job but it's worth it. :-laf

Mtdrtmmicsts

Andy, Wade, hold the keyboard! IT ARRIVED! after installation I went for a late breakfast ride, had to stop and siphon out fuel (mileage increased about 89. 31225973182%)from the tank after i got it polarized and aligned to our SC magnetic declination atmospheric pressure long leaf pine shrimp and grits factor. I can see me in the tire shine too!

... and yet some are skeptical.

Speaking of the other half, I popped the question on Friday while all the rain was beating us down, she said yes. Date will be sometime next Spring. I'll keep ya all posted, we might have to figure out a place to have a celebratory truck pull to set it off right!!!!! :-laf

Congrats... ... maybe she can do something with ya?





:-laf



Truck pull, truck pull, truck pull... ... I'm itching... ... . C'MON ALREADY!!! Is it June YET!?!?!?



For anyone interested, doubtful because of date however on 4/23 their will be a truck pullin Campbellsville, KY that I plan to go to and compete in. Its about 2-2. 5 hrs from Gallatin I think? But that's doing the speed limit in a company truck :-laf

 

[AndyMan]

Congratulations Shay!



Hey, some of you guys who requested shirts and I haven't heard from NEED to tell me something. If you need to back out, that's fine. You need to step up and tell me one way or another so the rest of us can get on with it.

Stamped Concrete

To all you guys that need stamped concrete done..... I've promised myself that I'd never get to big or busy to forget about the little jobs that seem to get lost in the mix. So, big or small, I'd be glad to come look at it and give you a price. It's not exactly inexpensive, but I feel quite confident (and a little proud) when I say, you'd be hard pressed to find someone to do as good of a job as what we do.

Now, for all of you guys that are thinking,"I wish I'd have stamped my concrete instead of broom finishing or slick finishing it!" I've got just the thing for you too. It's an overlay that's only 3/8" thick and can be feathered down to litterally nothing and it won't peel, spald, or chip up. This can also be stamped, hand carved or cut to make it look like slate, stone, tile, brick, etc..... Another cool thing about it is it can be used to fix low spots or screw-ups in concrete and eliminates the need of tearing out the concrete. We do this process on a lot of Wal Marts garden centers across the southeast, and it hold up just fine to high heel shoes, forklifts, shopping carts, etc. Pretty cool stuff... ...

Wasn't really meaning to be so long winded, but figured I'd let you guys know about some of the things I offer. Just so no one feels left out. . My web site should be up within the next month or so with all the pics and info. Thanks for the interest, John

Hawkeye04, I will be patiently waiting, but I will also pay you for the intake if you like, I have no problem with that. I just need one badly, I believe when I was in there doing some work, my nephew decided he would port & polish it for me and only done a little bit and stopped, and I've had a quiver in my boost needle ever since and have pulled my hair out trying to find it and I think that may be the problem, so thats why I need it, thanks, and a Big Tennessee WELCOME to you!

Hotram, dude, I'm sorry but I thought you were talking about and air intake/air filter/box system. I have the original from when I installed my AFE. I really wish I could help you out, and sorry for getting your hopes up. My misunderstanding completely.....



OK, I have an original air filter and air box that has only been used for approx. 3,000 miles. It'll be in Nashville in 2 weeks. Free for the taking!!!

 

[hotram03]

thats ok Hawkeye04, ok so if anyone knows of an Air-intake manifold I'm a buyer, so just keep me in mind, thanks
