[JMBryant]

So far, I REALLY like them. Joe gave me a great deal. They are JUST AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH. If that makes any sense. The 35x12. 50x17 size is PERFECT for the truck.



I've still got a serious DW problem, although it doesn't seem to be any better/worse with the new tires. I did have to grab two wrenches and crank the caster bolts to full positive to turn my wheels lock to lock. That was even with a 2" level kit.



Hey, did you machine the centers of those H2 wheels out yet? Don't forget that has to be done. No big deal. Just get a holesaw the right size. I'll try to get pics up b/f Saturday.

Yeah, I have a guy in Eagleville w/ a machine shop and he is going to machine the wheels for me for like $15 dollars a wheel. A 4 3/4 hole saw is $55 so I figured that Id let him do it!

 

[Piston Slapper]

Depends on what he's receiving? HEHEHE Squeal like a piggy!



Ol Smokey might make it to meachams. IF the transmission gets built back in time and the TC arrives.

Sweet. There ya go!

 

[Piston Slapper]

I think ya'll might have missed Joe's post. He can get gauges CHEAP!! Cheaper than you can call anybody and get them. Isspro's, we like them. Best factory match gauge out there. Night lighting is sweet. Fuel, boost, and Pyro, A-pillar, boost bolt and all the tubing needed for less than $300. You can't even get the gauges for that at most places. It's like getting the boost bolt and a-pillar mount free. Don't know the prices of any other gauge brands off the top of my head. Joe prolly installs a set of Isspro gauges a week.

 

[AndyMan]

Yup yup. I talked to Joe. Better prices than I've gotten from anybody. Cheap enough that I could probably sell mine, then buy new ones and have money left over. I was shocked.

 

[ProspectorTim]

Thanks for pointing that out.

I lay claim to the 1st joyride!!! :--) :--) Oo. :-laf

 

[WadePatton]

I think Wade had or has ISSPros at one time and he hated/hates them. Not sure why, but maybe the new ones are better.

I have IssPro in the 12 valve, and I hate the "junction boxes" required to run them--a bunch of useless wires if you ask me.



I have Hewitt gauges in the 24v and they are PURRRRfect. The pyro is pure mechanical--it reads temp 24/7 no key-on BS or extry wires and the 50psi boost gauge is the best I've ever seen for my level of performance--very sensitive and great resolution. I won't buy anything but Hewitt Industries again. I also have electric FP in 24v. It's a Westach-works great and I got it used.

 

[Dieselnutz]

I will be there with the boy. What do I need to bring?

 

[Underwood Tire]

hay guys

just let me know what brand of gauges you want and i'll get you a quoit.

we are not brand loyal, we are costumer loyal.

I backed off the footfeed pretty much--and hold down the top speed. Just checked it 21. 25 mpg with the box on 5x4! That includes rattling a few commuters this morning and one or two smokings. :-laf



I used to run the box much lower, but it just feels wimpy compared to the 12v on anything less than 5.



Drove a 12v the other day with all the same stuff as mine except turbo and transmission. Didn't feel as good. Methinks his plate and springs need twiddling with.



My ears are ringing, been sitting behind a Cummins 5. 9 on the Case IH farm tractor all day. MAN that thing NEEDS a turbo. So the bush hog broke and the tractor is out of fuel. Twernt my fault--but I'll be fixing it tomorrow. Really, the fuel gauge don't work and the hog broke a cable--that was frayed already.



Mr. Underwood--hit me with a price for Hewitt pyro and boost(50#). PM or phone. 615 542 1957



OH AND, yall are all invited to the reception 6PM 17 September. It's casual on the farm. Two kegs--one Guinness, champagne and wine, BBQ and other food. I'll post directions in a day or so. Or did I do that already? If you can find Walnut Hill Road in Wilson Co, then just follow the balloons and such.



More later--I'll bring some stuff to Meacham's.

I'll take a quote on a boost and EGT, not too familiar with all teh bells and whistles yet, so look at something that will treat me and the truck right!!! :-laf

 

[Cumminsman]

sniper, u should probably look into a edge juice with attitude or a tst powermax with guages. you get a lot more function for the same price as buying guages and just the computer.
