Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[Piston Slapper]

Nick threw a Fireball!

I got nicks fireball on tape! His turbo apparently was building a fireball on it's way to the death bed. Truck at idle, white smoking pretty good. Nick shuts her off and she back fired out a pretty good white fireball! Haven't had time to rip the video yet. I'll get-r-done and post some pics, or post some video clips.

No truck pull in Atwood TN this weekend... Just FYI.



Gonna plan on having 2-3 pulls there next year

Any of you guys have a boost elbow laying around that you want to get rid of? I bought a used DD-TTPM for a song but did not have the boost elbow. Hoping to get the TTPM on the truck tomorrow.

Update

HEY ALL. HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL. MY HEAD NOW HAS STUDS AND I RUN 48 LBS OF BOOST WITH THE B-1. EVERYTHING IS WORKING GREAT FOR NOW. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT PULL. SEE YALL.

 

[JSykes]

Got the DD-TTPM installed on Saturday and took the truck for a little spin. I can actually make a little smoke now. Truck definitely feels more powerful and more responsive.



FASTDIESEL, thanks for the boost elbow offer. Whereabouts in West Tennessee are you? I get over to the Jackson area about every six weeks. Should be able to meet up with you and pick the elbow up.

Here goes another one! Oo.



I've got an extra elbow, but I'll be you I can't find it. If I do, I'll give you a holler.



I've not been getting notices (of posts) lately. I'll have to catch up.

I'm getting a SBC Dual Disk! Oo. Oo. Oo.



At least I "HOPE" supposed to be getting the $$ tomorrow, will call my buddy in KY to see how he wants to handle payment.



Its a South Bend 12 Ceramic Button 3850lb plate load street puller (so to speak). Guy bought it not even a month ago..... never pulled on it..... decided he doesn't want his truck any more (buying a house! :-laf )... ... so I'm getting it at a GREAT deal.



Talked to Peter @ SBC today and he said send it back in for all the new bell's and whistle's he's got going on the new clutches.



Wade, I'm coming for ya... ... slowly... ... . but surely! :-laf

 

[Got Smoke?]

Ok where is everybody!?!



Definately getting the clutch..... hope to have it in in two weeks.



Shipped my OEM plate outta my old 97 to JR Adkins for a custom grind... . dunno what he has in store for me. :-laf



Eventually gonna get some laser cut DV's from him for next year too. Oo.



Anyways what's up with everybody its to DA-YUM quiet up in here!!! #@$%! :-laf



Hey Gap you posted something about a business a while back... ... were you meaning Diesel Performance?? Reguardless man good luck!



Stephen what's up man??? Where have you been? How's the truck/clutch? :-laf I'm rending that situation before even attempting!



Wade where have you been?!?! What are you doing!?!?!? What's the lastest on the puller?? Any new changes??..... I'm coming for you @ Ivy Bluff next year!



HEY TERRY if you read this I need a home # for Joe. Need to borrow a 30mm socket and his barring tool possibly this weekend to do my timing! (hear that wade! :-laf ) # has changed (think your verizon so no charge to call new phone 478-0708 )

 

[Piston Slapper]

My business

Not diesel Performance. As Mecham made mention of, I don't think there is enough local business to support one, independent of having to do all the internet stuff. Muchas overhead, little bitty profits!



Doing antique style business. Taking unsalvagable antiques with architectual interest and turning them into other furniture. For example, Taking old wooden doors and making beds, head boards and/or footboars, benches, coffee tables etc out of them. Taking old dressers and making blanket chests or entertainment centers out of them. Taking old headboards/footboards and making benches, yada, yada... HGTV type stuff that people like but nobody does...



I know the guys could give a rats ... , but the girls like it! But, like I tell my wife "I refuse to have an opinion about fabrics or curtains!" Just something my wife has always wanted to do, and I am the free labor to support the business!

The dern notifier thing comes and goes for me. I spose I'll quit relying on it.
