Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[ProspectorTim]

My opinion - it would be a LOT easier to just buy a 4wd truck.

 

[WadePatton]

Yardsale!

If you've got the parts--and donor trucks is the only way to go--and the time, and don't mind a few headaches--go for it!



Buddy of mine almost has his 4bt into a Wagoneer on the road. transmission issues put off the first test ride.



No Gary, I don't rent cars. I have three trucks and don't travel out of truck range. When I go to Yurp, I'll rent a bike!:-laf



Having a large tailgate/yardsale at 3389 John Bragg Hwy-Woodbury tomorrow at 7am. If'n anybody gets out this way. There might be truck parts in it. Bring a truckload and sell it. Call me for details. 542-1957 or 563-6930.

 

[Piston Slapper]

Best sled around these parts. Heavy rascal. Love seeing the gas burner street trucks bow up on it!

Well won me a trophy last night. Went with the Lebonon boys to some back woods pull in BFE KY and wound up getting second place LOL. Won me a nice little trophy and 100. 00, not bad for her first hook. Still just running damn MP8 and stock sticks, hope my sticks come in this week!!!

Good job bean... . get some more mods on that thing and come play with us some more. TS's sled pull is May 12th in Bowling Green, but there is one in Stanford, KY on May 5th I'll be going to if you want to follow me up again then. May talk Chris into going since he has all the appropriate safety gear for their track... . not sure on your inducer size Ryan but if its bigger than 2. 5 you'll need d-shaft loops and a kill switch to compete @ Stanford.



Sorry for the long way up, but I was thinking about the boys with the trailers.

 

[Bean]

Got the kill switch but gotta work on me some loops and shields.

 

[WadePatton]

Get them boys that did the bars on your flattie to hoop the shaft.



Some dude from Dickson was up here Sunday. Bought a buncha stuff and I sed, do you know ole Squaretires and he sed, yeah, lives not too far from us.



My brother-in-law will be racing a Craftsman Truck at Mansfield in May... FWIW.

 

[Dieselnutz]

Need some options and opinions on lift pump alternatives! I got a stock one relocated near the tank thats been on there a little over a year and its acting funny!:{

Most people will probably say FASS, I say there are cheaper alternatives.



A friend of mine on my KYDTR site runs this system, and he absolutely loves it. Click Here Its cheaper than the whole fass system with the filters.



Also call Chris @ Cedar City he's running some aftermarket pumps on his 12V puller, but I can never remember the name of them. They are reasonably priced too! I may look into one of them if I can ever get money enough to pull again. :{

 

[Underwood Tire]

go with the FASS. 6 YR. WAR. and the availability is local. install is real easy. 400. 00 to450. 00 is a good price. it ties into the stock wiring harness.

Joe

 

[BigPapa]

go with the FASS.

Ahhh.....



The voice of experience. Better listen up... ... .....



Scott

 

[Underwood Tire]

ok nutz,I sent that FASS ststem with the slapper this morning, let me know how it goes.

Joe

 

[WadePatton]

My Momma runs a fass. :-laf

 

[WadePatton]

Oh and high-gear(overdrive) is out of my auto. Dad "had" to borrow the truck the other day. Brought it back with no OD. Ain't that a mess.



May be time to convert--just don't have the clams for the clutch I wanted... may go single just to gitterdone.

 

[AndyMan]

Doen't that SunCoast have an unlimited HP/Mileage warranty?

 

[ProspectorTim]

When you push the OD button, does the OD light come on?
If not, it may just be the button.
You can pop it off the end of the shifter and clean up the contacts to make the OD button work again. I piece of emery cloth or even a pencil eraser can be used to clean it up.

It worked for me!

 

[BigPapa]

Well, I did two things last week that I've been trying to get done all spring. First was I finally got the Christmas lights off the house. :-laf



Second was to get the Sport bumper I got from Wade painted and on. I still have to modify a couple of holes on the mounting bracket on the drivers side, It's hanging a little low on that side, and I still need to get the Sport grille. I found a place on eBay that sells the Sport grille in chrome. I just need to sell the stock front bumper to get the funds.



What do you think?



Scott

 

[BradJ]

Man Scott, that bumper looks sweet. Finish it up and bring it by so we can see it. Dustin is looking for a stock front bumper for his gas burner truck.

 

[acook]

I want something

Andy has a new clutch



Scott has a new bumper



Hopefully Mecham has a new engine.



Nutz has a new FASS



I want something. :{



TS Performance is coming up in a couple of weeks, who all is planning on going?



Could this be the return of the BEAST? Oo. Will Joe show up with the KILLER for the much anticipated showdown? :-{}



The Slapper even returned from hiding this week.



Are there any local pulls coming up?



Ok enough rambling. I'll quit now.



Anthony

 

[GCroyle]

Me Too!

Anthony,



So, when is your birthday?



I'm too busy with the hood up on my '05, you should just shine yours again and call it new! Or maybe change the air in the tires to summer air and get more HP and mileage!
