Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[Cumminsman]

gap, it ain't to bad to swap one over. got my 95 back together again tonite.

 

[Piston Slapper]

How much is a manual swap run ya for parts to do it? 5 or 6 speed.

 

[Cumminsman]

gap, without a "good" clutch it can be done for $2700 to $3700. that's all new parts. reman 5 spd is $1450 + $350 core. new 6 spd is $2100 + $700 core. big jump for the 6 spd but it is the *****! also the hardened 1 3/8ths" input shaft lists for $850. i happen to know where they can be bought a lot cheaper though... ... ... ... ... ... ... anyway, call me. we'll chat



drove to smithland, pulled up it started raining. so came back home. going to sturgis, ky tomorrow nite. under an awning so it'll be rain or shine... .

 

[Cumminsman]

it was beautiful nite in sturgis, ky. about 68 degrees. 21 trucks in the diesel class. mostly fords with a few dodges and duramax's.

i pulled 285. 2' for 2nd and mike pulled 272. 5' for 4th. had a good time. can't wait for stanford, ky on the 8th.

 

[Piston Slapper]

What won then if you didn't? Inquiring minds want to know!

 

[Cumminsman]

gap, i got beat by 4' by a durmax. i think it weighed about 10000#. be ok though. i'll smoke his ass on a good track. that one didn't have any bite to it. it was really powdery.

 

[WadePatton]

I'll renew my lookout for those trucks Gap. Saw a pretty white 4x4 Quad on a lot in Smithville two weeks ago. Dunno the year--yet.



Sorry I ain't around folks. I've had to take over the daily care of two girls, 7 and 9. Then I fish at night. I ride some, then mow/bushhog the rest of the time.



I used to spend 2-3 hours EVERYnight on the web. Now I'm doing good to get 20-30 minutes in a night.

 

[Ram Medic]

Howdy guys, I just wanted to say hello from east Tennessee. I am new to the site and just looking around.

 

[WadePatton]

pull mebbe

Okay the girls are going out of town...



Anybody want a quick response from me, call 615-542-1957. I'm only on the 'puter here late at night--if not fishing.



PULL this Saturday in Manchester --MAYBE.



I'll be checking tomorrow to SEEF they'll have a diesel class (or can be persuaded).



I'll report back here ASAP. Some of them Jackson area folks may come to test/tune.

I'll be testing too. Traction bars and a TC lockup switch. Hope I can operate all that equipment.



And hope it stays together for Ivy Bluff.

 

[WadePatton]

howdy Ram Medic. I'll wave next time I got to NC.

 

[Dieselnutz]

I might come saturday to the pull. Let me know if a class will happen.

 

[JHammock]

Piston Slapper,



There is a place over in Lebanon on Hwy. 70 called Maxey Motors that always has 2500 and 3500 trucks. A lot of his trucks are 4x4 and in really good condition. The guy that owns it is Gary Maxey and he farms, so he is only open mon. tues. thur. fri. I bought my 03 from him with only 2850 miles on it and payed less than any place else I had looked by 3500 dollars. His phone number is

615-444-6625. Good Luck.



Oh, by the way. If you talk to Gary for 3 minutes you will see he is not a fan of ANY truck other than Cummins Trucks.

 

[Kimber]

Slowly but surely

Nick's turning into an old fart Wish I was 24 again:{

 

[Cumminsman]

i don't feel 24 if that helps. a knee surgery or 2 will really take the youth out of you. i am pretty sure that we are coming to manchester. i'll know for sure tomorrow. nick

 

[WadePatton]

Pull in Manchester after other classes, pot pull--if not rained out. It will be last thing.



FTR... Mom's truck came from Maxey --with less than 1000 miles on it.

 

[Cumminsman]

just wanted to let ya'll know we aren't gonna be able to make it saturday nite. mike's still waiting on parts. we'll be at stanford, ky on july the 8th though. short ride for ya'll. ya'll ought to check it out. nick

 

[WadePatton]

oh boy, now I don't have to beat those two!



Looks like it might be dry. We'll be the last pullers, so I'm not in a big hurry to get there. It's "behind the COOP" just off 24. I'll probably mosey down that way around 7 or 8.



Traction bars on: verrry pleased. Oo.

 

[Got Smoke?]
