kdp tabbed, been having dreams as of late about it, was having a hard time driving it without great worry, so just did it this weekend. Only took a couple of hours and the pin was out about 1/8". No worries. It finished and now i can move on to other bombs.

 

[DTroy]

I'm glad you got it done ttbird. It should be a relief.



With my father's circulation in mind, he's willing to wait for the warmer weather.

Maybe by then some people will have goodies that they want to install and we can have a wrenching party. Maybe Master1578 will have his injectors by then.



Yesterday we finished installing a mystery switch in Senior's 12V. It works very nicely. The truck is a lot faster now. It's supposed to take 3 seconds off of your 1/4 mile time. I like how firm it makes the shifts.

But he installed it more for the peace of mind. When he drove me out to NY a couple of times when my truck had died, on one trip his converter was constantly locking and unlocking.



He pulls a 14K fifth wheel now and then and I'm sure that without the switch installed the converter wouldn't last too long under those conditions.

Dtroy,

[ttbird]

Troy-i want more, probably injectors then maybe turbo but i need someone that's good with 12v. how about timing, what's first, what order? and when are we getting together again so i don't have to type. only took it in school 33yrs ago cause all the girl did.

Spring Fling thread is up... . Sat. April 29th.

 

[DTroy]

Uh-oh, I'll have to check out the thread Brian. Even if I can't dyno I'll go just to hang out. (and convoy too)

----------

Tom, you can always call. (others do) My number is listed in my profile. I'm listed in the Travel Companion too.

I'll be happy to help with the BOMBs. I have to adjust my timing too this Spring.

And that was one of the reasons why I took typing as well.

--------

Hiya Genros, if the Spring Fling is too far away we can always have a dinner night. ?

-----

I had another individual interested in the Club PM me. I think we'll have another member shortly.

If the Dakota is done ill be there but I highly doubt it will be ready unless WANNACUMMINS wants to go

 

[DTroy]

Hiya fellers,

My TPS (APPS) finally arrived yesterday. It took about three weeks to get to me. I installed it and it works fine. It's nice to be able to use the truck again, even if it isn't running perfectly. It recharged my personal batteries when I took it for a test ride.

I really needed the truck this past weekend to do some horse hauling and I was stuck without it. I had to use a Furd to haul them. The horses didn't care for that one bit. :-laf

---------------------------

Tom, I don't know how big you want to go with injectors. But I do know someone with 370's in their truck. He might offer you some advice.

---------------------------

It would be nice to see the Dakota make an appearance (and a dyno run )

what the hell I thought i was the only TDR guys in northeast PA when I was living there over the summer in Clifford PA (exit 206) Now Im moved to montana, im going to try to rig up somthing in my neck of the woods if there isnt something already, theres more CTD owners here than I have ever seen before but Im sure indiana probably has me beat! Good luck with your Chapter fellas! ill look you guys up when im back in town.

Everyone must have eaten too candy on Valentine's day :-laf. No posts for 5 days. I'm getting bored. Troy, we need an outting!!!!!!!!!

 

[DTroy]

I know I had plenty of candy. Between the 13th and 14th I ate a whole pound of chocolate covered Jordan crackers. :-laf

If was the perfect gift. (It helps when you're the one shopping for yourself)



And I know what you mean about being bored. I prefer to be outside doing something. Anything. I'm getting cabin fever. Today was the exception. It was a banner day. I plan on more wrench turning tomorrow !



We can have a Wrenching Party before the Spring Fling comes. I need to do a pump timing and a KDP on a 12v and a valve lash on my 24v. Everyone will be invited to bring their truck to work on or be worked on. Or maybe they'll just want to observe.

---------------------------------

BlowinBlackSmoke, I hear ya. I thought that I was alone up here. Boy, did the guys surprise me. And be sure to let us know when you plan on visiting the area ! We'll have a mini Meet.

 

[BlowinBlackSmoke]
