[csutton7]

Tom C won the super street--congrats to DPO member Tom--way to go--



not sure who won the mod class, but BBD broke his front driveshaft and blew a freeze plug--ATS broke--John@ DPS broke his t-case..... that's all I know here--



I think the stock class went to a local---chris

 

[Tcolesanti]

The Mod class win went to an '06 Mega cab with twins, I think from PDI. Not 100% though, congrats to the winners of the stock class and Mod class, good job guys.



Thanks Chris

We pulled in the MM parking lot, and only one truck there looked like a midwest puller.

Slammed front end, JD Green weights, no rear bumper, Truxes tires, single stack, heavy freaking duty traction bars with large frame reinforcements, reinforced hitch, etc.



And a turbo that needed LIT!



Turned out, it wins, lol. Oo.



Best pull of the night, and one of the few that knew how to back up to the sled, nice and straight.



All, in all, I thought it was a nice little pull for being put on at the last second by someone with no exprience in these matters whatsoever. It just needs a little polishing.



Oh, and Craig, next time a Pennsylvanian tells you where to turn for a truck pull in Nevada, take his advice!!!!

 

[BigBadDodge]

Tom, nice hook bud, looked really sweet guess that is kind of sign that Nick and Doug are going to have to work extra hard this year to hang with you in that class. Awesome job.



Yes, I lost the cardigain joint on the front driveline and a the rear freeze plug on the side of the block. Shoule be ready for Houghson in two weeks baring no other issues, but man I need to get the Corsa in as I have no idea on my RPM's right now.



Gene, good seing you, Eric, and Tomac out West here. See ya next month out East.



BBD

 

[Jim Fulmer]

Scott, I though you had that freeze plug thing fixed. Sorry to hear about the driveline, hope you get that one fixed soon.



Jim

 

[Sled Puller]

Scott, always a pleasure to come see you pull and put the mental whammy down!LOl :-laf



Nice meet Bpine and Bob Wagner, and several others from TDR.



And what was Tomac doing there????

 

[csutton7]

tomac was scouting for power secrets--he,he---chris

 

[BigBadDodge]

Yeah Jim, I installed the EEP pressure fix but obviously its set to high, I have it set at 30psi, as directed, but I think I am going to go to 10psi so its open right away, heck the rad cap is set at 16psi. Looks like I will do all three freeze plugs on teh side and use Belzona anybody got anything better then that for keeping them in???



Here is the front CV Joint:

[John@dps]

Thats why I didn't win: I dont have green weights and I have two stacks not one. That means breaking the transfer case isn't why I lost. I feel better already.



John

 

[Tcolesanti]

I dont have green weights

John

John, you need to address this as soon as possible. :-laf :-laf :-laf

 

[Redram 1]

re

Scott you should just go to an electric water pump,Meziere makes a perfect pump for the cummins,with a mount that welds to the frame. It runs the same no matter what RPM.

 

[DieselLady]

Awsome pull Tom. I guess Green is for "going, and going, and going". As usual.

Good seeing everyone, Scott, Tom and finally meeting Gene and Eric. John you forgot to mention you were around the 240 mark when you broke. Not to bad for being Blue instead of Green. And You had the best tow in town if you ask me.

Thanks to all the hard working TDR folks for a fun event.

Betty

 

[BPINE]

Nice meet Bpine and Bob Wagner, and several others from TDR.

Nice to see you and Eric as well, why didn't you guys come back for drinks I sure didn't think the old mighty SLED PULLER could be scared off so easy by an overweight 70 year old lady :-laf



Go ahead Eric tell the nice people what you did



Piers almost went to jail as well for opening the gate without proper permission.

 

[Sled Puller]

No way am I going to jail for Eric speeding in a retirement community!!Hes on his own!!

You guys picked a strange location to have parties???



Betty! Nice truck!

 

[Tcolesanti]

You and Eric just "looked" guilty running around in that P. O. S. rental. :-laf :-laf :-laf
