Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[WadePatton]

If'n somebody don't mind, how about telling where the pulls are a week or so in advance. Maybe we can work up a schedule. MTPA is easy enough, but I don't know who else yall are pulling with.

Mark,



Nice truck! It's exactly what I'd like to have. I had to split the kids up with my parents this weekend on a trip to the lake, so I'd love to hae the bigger cab.



I've got a buddy at Tennesse Sheet Metal. Let me know what you need, steel, stainless, aluminum, what gauge, and what size and I'll see what he can come up with. He made me a nice heat shield for my BHAF out of some stainless from a plan I found here on TDR.

JSykes,

We're leaving Lebanon at 10:00 A. M. on Friday and you can caravan with us. I think we have Joe Moran, Terry Johnson, Shane Dillard, Joe's father TEX, Michael Trusty, and Me. I think Mark is following and anyone else who wants. Muncie is going to be a great time. Call me if you want to caravan (615)417-0729.

I scored a room at the Best Western in Muncie this morning. So, I am definitely going. Anybody wanting to caravan up on Friday?



Mark, I will check and see what we have on the floor for tubing. I know we have some Aluminum tubing that is 4"x6".

Hey Jay, did you score a room for just yourself or are you bringing family/friends? Originally it was supposed to be just me & my cousin and I asked Meacham if we could just crash on somebodies floor... "sure no prob"... well its turned into me, my cuz, & his g/f so I hate to ask anyone to board 3 people unless it was someone like you where it would only be 1 person in a room? We'll split the cost with you if you can spare the extra room.



On the tubing... I dunno if aluminum would be strong enough would it?

Hey Wade are they having a Diesel class at the pull up your way this weekend! If so let me know I'm off for a change this weekend The truck needs a workout!

 

[AndyMan]

Sweet Je$u$, can't anything ever be easy???? I got my braided line and fittings from Gap-O, and plumbed my fuel press gauge up today. MAN, WHAT A PITA that was. Got everything buttoned up, checked it twice, etc. Took her down the road, only sputtered once at the end of the drive (guessing that was the air in the line bleeding out), drove like a champ. Got a SOLID 7PSI at idle, 9PSI at cruising speed, and 4PSI at WOT. Gotta love 3rd Gens... Got back in, flipped the lights on in the garage, and noticed I did something that squacked dash lights and all gauge lights... Going back out now to track that down.

Matter o' Fact!

There was! Long story short: I thought there wasn't. I was in Nashville. Steve was at Mooretown. He called when they decided to add Street Diesel. I hauled a$$ from the race track to the shop, changed trucks--after reassembling the driveline. Made it to the pull and HOOKED.



290. 2 First Place.



I think that ford that we pulled out of the mud last year got 2nd.



Not sure where Steve wound up. He and I were the only Dodges out of 8-10 trucks. A couple were gasser duallies.



Then I had to go back toward Nashville to get the girlfriend that I left up there.



Andy--it's the little crap that sucks.

 

[WadePatton]

And my traction bars were on the porch when I come in from the pull. I guess FedEx delivers on Saturday.
