MNTDR Sept 18th

[JoshPeters]

Well I know there will be a pretty decient group comming out.



I'm sure you'll be able to get some of the stuff done Chris. As far as any kind of painting... . Not sure if I can help ya there. But quite a few things on your list are pretty easy and I'm sure people would love to help.



There should be enough room for you to park your trailer. The Holiday is a Gas station. Next door is MGM liquor then the shop I work at. Since MGM is closed on sunday, I don't forsee any kind of space being an issue.

I could use the extra if you are still willing to part with it. I'd also like to try and swap my turbo out if you could bring that along. I'd appreciate it.



Josh

The shaft would be put directly to use. The Driveline shop said it'll be at least $200 to get mine back up to slightly better than stock. (U-joints) That's due to the damage on the U-joint yoke and the broken "sagnaw" or "Double Cardan" joint. Either way... . they would have to order the parts. They dont' have them in stock. So if you don't need it, I'll be more than happy to employ it's use. When I get mine fixed I'll get it back to you.

I have to check, but I might be able to pick up the rest of the parts from the 12v engine I got, it includes the front driveshaft so if its in good shape, you can buy it JP, and I would be nice to ya too on the price

 

[TurboTweaker]

Naw... . which ones are stuck? Use an impact gun. They may have used loc-tite on them. If you want to borrow my 3/8 drive impact... . let me know. I have one you can borrow.



Josh

 

[Alphacowboy]

didnt get a chance to go get the junk, so sorry, dont have that shaft available for this weekend.

 

[CSnyder]

Well guys I have bad news! The load I had set up to fetch in your area was passed off to a big truck because they claim to need about 46' of trailer space and I only have 44' so I lost the load. I have to run a local load today and the wife says I can't get up at 4 am and drive to the cities, spend all day up there, and then drive home 4 hours because she is worried I will fall asleep driving on the way home. I guess I will take her advice on this one since I have logged 3732 miles for the week so far with a half day off to get my truck fixed. I haven't had much time for my twins either all week or my 7 year old so I am gonna take tomorrow off at home and promise to make an appearance at the dyno day next month. Has a date been set? I plan on taking a 3 day vacation in your area so I can make it. I'm gonna drag my brother from Anoka in also so we as a group can convince him his Powerjoke should be traded for a real truck.

Chris

 

[JoshPeters]

Well, sorry to hear you can't make it Chris. Next month on the 22nd is the Dyno day (oct 22) I will be putting up a post on that tonite.



See you there Gentlemen... . I'm on my way up to open the door.



Josh

 

[SpicyJam]

Well as always thanks Josh for setting this meet up. I have to comment on the MNTDR sign, I like it... ... ... ... I didn't get to tell ya that but I had to do a double take on it, and figured yep fits .

The turn out was nice, and some things got done, some trucks up in power, some went down. A little tire burning a lot of smoke. Sorry I didn't have the video, I will have it at Hy-tech.

Again, thanks alot J/P... ... guess sometimes you are not such a bad guy after all... ... ... ... ... ... ..... :-laf Talk to ya soon, Jim.

Not a big deal Jim. I'll just have to remember to bring my TV for the Dyno day.





Hey, can you tell the women that one..... they don't seem to believe me! j/k :-laf :-laf :-laf



Josh

 

[TurboTweaker]

Well josh thanks once again for a great day of wrenching. can wait to see me loss in power on the rollers..... but i know Will will enjoy his new injectors.



The Fat Kid

Andy

 

[Billy Diesel]

All I want to know is: Why on Earth did I wait so long for injectors?!? They are actually better for around town than the box 'cause I don't put out as much smoke as I would with the box on at the same power level.



Thanks much Andy for the injectors, Jim for the exhaust which arrived today, and Josh for the place to see everyone again.



I may make it for the dyno after all. I have to see yet. If I do make it, is there anything else on your truck Andy that you want to sell me?!? :-laf

 

[JoshPeters]

Well guys I have the opposite problem as Will. I'm having a hard time controlling the smoke... . even WITH my valet switch! I tell ya what though..... Tailgaters are LONG gone now! :-laf



I actually think part of my smoke issue is due to the laggy exhaust housing I'm running right now. Once Jim and I get our turbos switched back... . I'll have to see.....



Right now I'm just enjoying the power! WOW I wish I would have done Delivery Valves WAY sooner!



My roommate has an 86 Iroc Camaro... . 35-65 "race" My front bumper was even with his back bumper..... By the time I hit 65, I kinda "rubbed" it in... and just kicked on the turn signal and moved over infront of him! :-laf



Josh

 

[TurboTweaker]

will i'll sell you my truck that way u have one with an auto too. :-laf



my truck is now a terd. well time for big injectors

Glad to hear you like the DV's Josh. I'll have to let you borrow the Lazer cuts for a weekend so you can really put a smile on your face!

 

[JoshPeters]

Chilly... . That would be fun! My poor roommate wouldnt' know what to do with himself then!



He still can't believe I beat him... ... He's got a cam and some other light mods.....

The Fast Kid

Andy

The "Fast Kid"?!? That has to be in reference to your personal life, 'cause it sure doesn't describe your truck! :-laf

 

[SpicyJam]

LOL, the fast kid? putt putt putt putt... ... ..... sorry Kid I couldn't resist. Will you get the exhaust on?
