AndyMan boost doesnt bounce that high only vibrates like crazy around the 1-2 lb variance nothing like 10 lbs or so will stop if not standing on it does ok, I'm going to look and see if its got a kink in it I may even try the plastic tubing against better judgement, bad experience years ago on an oil line on a hotrod I had LOL, Heavyhauler I,ve been to 1 meeting sorry guys something always seems to come up, going to try to make a few more meetings, I have a red 03 quad cab 4x4 tinted windows hopefully we can put names to the faces if I just show my A$# up at a meeting LOL. No AndyMan I do my own work if at all possible, Meacham has loaned me some tools and grateful for that a time or two.

And if my memory is right, you put down 451hp on the dyno with Janetty injectors and a VA box at a dyno meeting at Delk. You done any more to your engine?

OK, you new guys are gonna have to identify yourselves! :-laf We've got people coming out of the woodwork now!



So hotram03, supercab99, and LandScraper: step forward and make an introduction!



hotram03 - you've been a member on here for a while but I don't think I've ever met you. Have you been to any meetings?



Introduction, ummm, ok. Name`s Josh. I own a window tinting shop in Winchester. Bought my truck back in May and have been lurkin around here for awhile now. I actually bought it as a tow pig, but now I`ve got the bug, lol.

Justin Bryant and my dad are good friends, several of ya`ll have met my dad at your last meeting. Dad`s got an 02 2500 Ext cab long bed 4wd almost identical to Joe Underwood`s truck.

I`m new too owning a diesel, so I`m soakin up all I can from here and DTR. I`m planning on attending the meeting at Underwood Tire in Jan. , along with Justin and my dad, so I`ll see ya`ll there I guess.

Welcome new guys! Keep a reading--and feel free to ask questions because opinions DO differ--if you haven't noticed already. :D



On the bouncy needle--have the numbers changed? Something fouling up the line? New leak? It should be steady with a steady supply of fuel.



Hans--you're moving up!!! CAM TIME already! Oo. I'll do that someday. ;) BTW--you'll want to make 45psi BEFORE you do the cam swap. Didja get that fixed?



FIND a D-50 dodge. Not too bad for seats if I remember correctly. Ours was bucket, but there may be benches. You can always re-stuff what you got. I'll check with Barry. Barry sold his pulling truck--still has the track.



New puppy here. Busy busy. Col. Popcorn is his name.
 
Hey Wade, I was wondering where you had been.



Yeah, the boost problem is all but fixed. I'm going to start using a manual boost controller with this one. I left the truck in Hohenwald and I won't be back until the 15th. I'll give a report then.



Thanks for the tip on the little Dodges - I'll give them a look. I might know where one is.
 
Hey Kimber you got it, just alittle more to it than that I got in a big hurry when I put that turbo on and forgot the 1/8" pipe plug going from elbow to CAC, no wonder it was slow to make boost LOL still made good power that day, yeah few more tricks FASS System, TST PMCR, HTT turbo on the way, bout to make a few changes on the ole boy, no wade I may have some type of slight boost leak but nothing slowing down how fast it makes boost just gets bouncy, going to try checking a few things, maybe try some plastic line instead of my copper just to see how it does, Howdy Josh, this is a great bunch of guys here knowledgeable and helpful.
 
Let me add my "welcome" to the new guys, and my "welcome back" to an old guy. :) We've got a really good group, glad y'all found us.



Everyone also check out the other threads in the southeast forum. Particularly the T-shirt one and the one for our next meeting (Dickson @ Joe's). This will be our third year at Dickson in January. It get's bigger and better every year. Don't miss it. There's even some free stuff this year. Good stuff too, new tools and what-not.



On the t-shirt front, I'm giving up on a new logo. At least for this round. I'll do my number tally's tonight or tomorrow, and get a quote. I'll start collecting money after that. Gimmie a day or three, and we'll be ready to order. Apologies again for the delay.



I want to also make sure Anthony (acook) gets recognized among our group real quick. He gave me a solution to my freeze plug problem that is <$75, and will allow me to plumb a gauge for water pressure easily. I'm STOKED. I was looking at some serious money and/or hacking up my floorboard to get that plug in. Thanks Anthony.



Oh... and new guys... to be admitted as a member, you've got to go back and read all 67 pages of this thread :-laf Just kidding. Some of it is pretty entertaining though. Honestly, our membership requirement is posting in this thread. SO, congratulations and welcome.

Welcome to all! You'll really get a lot out of this site and our "community".



Andy, 67 pages? Mine shows 177! :eek:

Hey I wonder if it depends on your screen resolution. Those of you that show 67 pages, what is the first post on page 1 and how many posts per page are you showing?



This may turn into "the search of the lost TDR posts!"

The 67page guys have the "view 40 posts per page" option set in the control panel. Default will get you to 177.

Yeah Scott. We bought the Sport from Chris Rudd. That's his dad's truck. Look closely at it. I found a little more rust on the Red one that I wanted to. But Chris is a fine guy and won't BS you much more than your average guy selling a car. ;)



I didn't look at that one because of the transmission. Chris lives in Atlanta now but has a place in NastyBoro. I think his dad is in Nastyville.



Pages schmages. Lookit the POST count. :eek:
