MNTDR Sat Dec 4th

[JoshPeters]

Remember guys... . Start time is 9am. It is first come first serve with the dyno. I am expecting about 16 trucks. If everyone shows, we will need to be Johnny on the spot and keep the trucks rolling in and out to get everyone in. I will be getting there around 8:30 so I can start getting names so we can get a running order.



Josh

Hey Guys... Lets get a running count. He's who I have so far

The little Fat Kid

Tim C

Matt from the DTR

Andy M

Chilly Dog

Billy Diesel

DLausche

possibly 2 friends of mine

and 4 other truck from the other sites

At this time I probably will not be able to get the truck up and running for this event. I may have a couple of supprises for the next one!

Now, besides my truck not running, I have to work. So have fun guys, maybe I can ditch work early and see some action. I just got the garage heater to work, next is the Ram. It sure is a lot more fun working on it when its time to add power.

This sucks, I am going to be checking the grounds, at first glance all look good. I plan on cleaning them up with a little steel wool type wheel. I am not sure if I could just add some jumpers from place to place to test the grounds or if I should actually start taking apart and cleaning every one I see... any pointers?

... Hey Guys... Lets get a running count...

Count me in on a dyno run.

Josh,

Like i said i can help get your truck up and runing friday when i get back in town. never give up we can always pull an allnighter like we did with my truck. just hope it doesnt turn out like mine did... ... that sucked. by the way the LiL fat kid is bigger than you so isnt that a contradiction? anyways i picked up 20 tractor weights for the dyno so who ever needs them can use them as long as i get them back.

If you need an extra hand, or someone to drink beer and point and laugh, I could come down too.

 

[Alphacowboy]

i will be there, but almost certain not running the dyno.



how late is this whole thing going? I may be up in st cloud so I would be driving down from there in the morning. Are you guys just running the dyno, or sitting around and shooting the shiznit while others run?

 

[CumminsAholic]

I'm going to try to make it, but I have to work too. I surely won't run on the dyno, but I'd like to meet you guys. I'd at least like to stay for an hour or 2... but we'll see what happens. It kinda sucks being your own boss because when things have to get done you're the one that has to do them.

This looks like it is going to run ALL day... I talked to Bart and he said with 18 trucks... he's figuring 9am till roughly 7pm.



As far as an all nighter... I need to get studs first. No studs. . no point in putting it back together. I still haven't sold my sled... plenty of interested people... none that have officially come through.



Josh

 

[SpicyJam]

J/P, what sled you trying to sell? I thought you knew that I am into selling and repairing sleds on my off time. Besides working with Tim, I am a Parts Unlimted dealer and usally buy and sell sleds, right now I am not buying any. Although I do still have a few for sale, after selling 11 of them at the swap meets this year. I sure would help you in getting your sled sold if you want. Shoot me a pm and I will see if I can help you out. Later, Jim.

 

[Weidner]

See you all Saturday with or without the truck

I think I got the truck fixed last night. I added a ground wire to the ecm from the battery and it started and reved up as it should. I could not give it a test drive, after adding the wire to the batt cable clamp, the clamp broke as I tried to reattach it good and tight. today I will replace that clamp and hopefully be leaving a trail of black smoke on down the road. See ya Saturday. Thanks for the help.

PS, where'd ya find her... I'm lookin for one!

funny story actually... I met her online of all places... . hit it off and are getting married in April. I really had given up on lookin, and being not a typical guy (i know personal but hey) I aint looking to sleep with anyone until I get hitched, so yeah I am odd... :-laf but anyway, I got bored at my old job (****ty desk job... aka, BORING) and setup a profile on Yahoo.com, basicly looking for some people to hang out with, as my church has no one my age, and I am not a bar/club kinda guy. Heck I was looking for friends... damn, how pathetic... lol. But anyway, God has blessed me with Ang, that is forsure, she is more than I could dream, hope for and so on. Hell, she even can run a welder!!!! Not to many gals out there like that! Now I just gotta find her a truck for cheap.



anyway, got a little off topic there, but oh well! I will keep my open for ya Josh, but sorry, no promises...
