I heard ya the first time Hans... was just ignorin' ya'. :-laf Basically, it's like this, if I sell it for what I'm asking, great. If I don't, great. We really NEED a minivan (man I hate admitting that). I got it priced a little high, but hey... I'm proud of it. It's a dern nice truck. So we'll see. Maybe I'll sell it maybe I won't. I just threw it out there to see who bites. I've done this once before. I'm a little more serious about it this time though. Love the truck, but I'm not one to keep a vehicle too long. Gotta mix it up.



BTW, I tried the link in my sig, but I went over the charicter limit for a signature... I didnt' know there was one... . look how big Mark's is!!



Nick, I've been in love with your tow rig ever since I spotted it toting your puller into Ivy Bluff. She's a beauty. Still got that scratch on top of the tailgate from that same night when your goose made contact while pulling out? I was really kinda wanting a LWB, but SWB won't kill me. 6spd is really what I'm most interested in. Did she just click 100k miles recently? PM me your selling price. The timing could be just right to make a deal...

If the link in your signature makes it too long, then http://www.tinyurl.com is your friend!



Scroll your mouse over the links in my signature, for example.

I resemble that remark!

 

[Got Smoke?]

Oh yeah... ... talked to the pull organizer's wife @ like 2PM today (home # was only way to reach the guy)..... she said no pull... ... so I call EVERYBODY and tell them no pull. Well the guy called back @ 5PM and said "we've got a grader coming, we're gonna try and have it".



I didn't get the message till 6:20 & the pull started @ 7PM in Scottsville, KY (1 hour from Gallatin where I was).



To top it all off the guy who posted it on my KYDTR site took 2nd in the pull off. He had a '01 3500 with a puck, straight pipe, & AFE on bald street terrains. 1st place was a 500HP '04. #@$%! #@$%! #@$%! #@$%! #@$%! #@$%! #@$%!

 

[ProspectorTim]

Aw man!!

That sux.

 

[AndyMan]

Good tip, Thanks Tim!! I'll fix that right now!



BTW. . any news on your trailer? That really blows. Sorry to hear about it.



EDIT: TinyURL rocks!

Hey it's got a new VP too!

 

[AndyMan]

Spankin' new! That's probably the most important feature of any truck I'll look at buying. Gotta love a free brand new injection pump right before you sell.

 

[HeavyHauler]

Hey guys - I started a thread on the big NTPA tractor pull that's coming up next weekend in Chapel Hill - would be nice to meet up with some of you guys there.

Jay, what is that tubing and adapter called you used for you Fuel Pressure Gauge?

 

[AndyMan]

It's called a "Hose Barb" fitting. You can get 'em at NAPA or Home Depot... among other places. I tried it on mine a few weeks ago. Gauge still rattled too much. If I do it, I'm gonna have to use a snubber. I've still got the hose if you want it. It is rated to carry fuel at up to 300psi. I returned the fittings. That'll save you a few bucks.

I will most likely go with this kit. Hopefully it will solve my problems.

There's a brand new unopened DSS brace in the classifieds for $150... guy posted it yesterday.

 

[HeavyHauler]

You can buy them all day long from Marv for $149. This is his "initial" TDR discount. A couple of months ago, we had a group buy going on and he was letting us have them for $129. I'd check with him first.

[Piston Slapper]

I didn't think his was a regualr hose barb. The kind he used didn't use any clamps. Just push on(which was tight) and it locked itself on.

 

[AndyMan]

DOH!! For some reason that just jumped out at me as a good deal. Evidently it is not.



Gap... could be. I just used the regular old ones from Home Depot, pushed them on with no clamp... course my truck pushes about 7psi to the cp3... not exactly enough pressure to cause a leak. If I remember, Jay got his (whatever they are)from his place of employment??

 

[WadePatton]

If I remember, Jay got his (whatever they are)from his place of employment??

Careful now--he might want to stay employed. (Johnny Cash "One Piece at a Time" playing in the background)



Push Loc. That's the barbed thingy that is oversized just enough to work to ridiculous pressures with no clamp. Clamping actually weakens the the seal on that type. Good Stuff.



Hey yall, welcome Dale in. He's from Dickson and in the big Sandbox serving our country right now. He PM'd me and I told him to come over here to become a full-fledged Mid-TN TDR member. He's "rdd4x4" on the boards.



Steering--almost optional on the green one now--I think I'll split the rear brakes. :-laf

I bought mine from Piers for $135, but that was well over a year ago. Got it in a few days. I hear direct from Marv takes a couple or three weeks.



Scott

 

[HeavyHauler]

If that came from Piers, it's probably because Darin is his supplier. Please don't make me retell that story! :-laf



At any rate, I got mine directly from Marv in Canada in 5 or 6 days. It was delivered on a Saturday. So no worries ordering from him.

Hello yall, I'm the new guy...

Well, Hello, and I am the "new guy" Oo. I just want to introduce myself and give a little back ground. My name is Dale Cliett, I've lived in the Dickson and Hickman areas all of my life. I currently live in Charlotte. I've been on the farm all of my life. I am currently deployed in Iraq with the 278th Regimental Combat Team Military Intelligence Company, or 278th MI CO RCT for short. Hopefully I'll be home the end of OCT to first of NOV so I can join the fun!. I own a 2002 Dodge 2500 4x4 HO 6-spd, white, it's got some type of chip on it now. . like "D-Box" I think... and a 4" straight pipe, it's tapped for gauges and all of the wiring is there (curtesy of the previous owner), and possibly injectors (not sure but something feels like it's been added to). . my goals are to turn it to produce all that I can with spending as wisely as possible. I've bought a TST PM-3, an Edge EZ, and 5" stacks on the internet since I've been here, so I can have some toys when I get home. . I'm also seriously thinking about getting the stage 2 water/meth injection kit from snow performance also. Any Ideas or opinions/experiences that anyone has had on the water/meth injections would be appreciated, (I've done a search and not found any good/bad things about it yet). . Thanks for the warm welcome and hope to meet yall soon after I get home. . Thanks, Dale
