CURTIS, HOW MANY SIGNED UP YET?

 

[I-6DZL]

I'd probably say 2. 5 hrs very tops



If Nancy was driving probably 45 mins LOL



So far looks like i count 7 or 8, We need more people to sign up, ahead of time. Even if you're considering running your truck, please sign up. If you don't run after all, no harm nor foul.

[Babyfat]

curtis you have a tally on trucks yet? i know its still 3 weeks away but it going fast

[I-6DZL]

right now looks like 8 are pre-registered. Haven't got a recent update from dynoserve. I will be camping, hopefully friday night (GF needs a night off anyhow LOL)and Sat night.

John you said your camper is a 35 footer, if its pretty dry that week/end how aobut you bring it with ya? We can fit it no problem!!

I think ian is bringing the Cummins camper, we'll see.



Saw a newer ford today, lifted, white, very nice looking truck. showed him some smoke, and beleive it or not, he showed some back. It actually made my day, even though it wasn't another cummins. Just another diesel. awesome Need to catch up to him, and invite him to the dyno weekend.

[DGStrate]

Excited!

I am going to try to convince the wife that this is a

must attend event!



I look forward to meeting more of you from the TDR...

I have been out to Greg's (Lsfarm) place and never

met a more proficient diesel tech and one h*ll of a

nice guy! He did the trans on my '01 for the gentleman

who bought it from me and I attended for the drop off

and show and tell session. Then I drove Chris (the

01's new owner) back to the airport so he could fly

back home (Indiana). I want my 48-RE done ASAP...

Just need the $$$... AND wife's blessing! haha!



Since I do not know if I will for sure make it, but the

pre-register is non-binding, I will fill out the form today.

I hope we do not have any conflicting plans, as I want

to come huff #2 smoke all weekend!



Hope like heck to C Ya there!!

For The Women

COME ON OVER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO STICK AROUND THERE ARE A LOT OF MALLS TO GO SHOP I MAY EVEN BRING MY (excursion diesel) SO YOU WOMEN CAN RIDE TOGETHER MY WIFE LOVES SHOPPING

 

[I-6DZL]

O my gosh john, did you just say what i think you did. You best go pray for forgiveness!!!!!!! Shame Shame Shame.



DGStrate hope you can make, no the pre-register form is not binding you, it's only purpose is to speed up the whole process of strapping, running, un-strapping, and paying the $$, and getting the vin of your truck, truck info, more stuff.

If you have a couple diesel head friends, invite them along, they can dyno.



This is not just a TDR dyno day, but rather a diesel dyno day!!!!

[IC Smoke]

I MAY EVEN BRING MY (excursion diesel)

porta-toilet will be there just need to talk to mr dyno to mark where he wants it, i still have to call them but they will prolly del it that thur or fri

Why would you drop your excursion off that early? :-laf





I put the smokless wonder on the scales today and she came in at 6860lbs (no driver) so if you dont quite know what your rig weighs that should give you a little something to go from. (toolbox had a couple 20' chains, ratchet straps in it and the bed had a couple rakes, shovels and stihl pole saw so minus whatever that might weigh and you have a pretty much stock STD cab LONG bed 4x4 weight





the "CUMMINS CAMPER" WILL be at DYNOSERVE!!

 

[I-6DZL]

now that's some funny shat up there!!!! HAHAHAHAH

 

[IC Smoke]

WELL this isnt related but I thought Id share... .





Ive needed some new "dress" shoes (apparently steeltoe boots arnt good to wear on a date) for quite some time now so I headed to jackson the back way thru spring arbor... . got the mall, left and decided I needed to go to meijer..... Off I went on I94 E bound (55mph) I got up to exit 142 BAM a spaceship landed behind me... . GREAT so i pull over. I was doing 65 in a 55... well I only put down the drivers window, I reached for teh insurance/registration and OH ***** another officer on the passenger side (I got spooked haha) I got the paperwork and the passenger side officer noted to his partner that my windows were tinted... the officer asked me to roll up my drivers side window a little bit so I did... . I maned up to it and said I had it installed so he said "ok Ill be right back" a quick few later he came back to me and gave back the paperwork and let me off on a warning WHEW!... ... SOOOOOO I go to meijer the head back south on 127 and i just got around the bend where it soon turns to 55 from 70... . YOU guessed it another county boy... ON come the lights! so I pull off again and this time I was doing 75 in a 70 (so the speedo said) well I was clocked at 80 in a 70 AHHH darn powerful motor!!! well same routine but I rolled both windows down this time and he (officer) didnt ask about them either He then asked if my "gauge cluster" was stock or not but he was more intuned to get me some fancy paperwork... . "Ill be right back" (yeah ive heard this b4 I was t hinking... ) well 5 min later (ya know the feeling when your getting a ticket cus hes not "right back"... . ) well sure enough I got a 75 in a 70 no points WHEW (cus I sure as heck dont need any more than I already have ) he then asked If I was having a bad night "yes officer I was just pulled over 30 min ago" "yes I know that mr coleman, have a good night"

AHHHh THEN when he first walked up he asked where I was headed... "home I replied" as if the green faded to gravel road brown paint job didnt set it apart from the rest of the vehicles. so anwyays



I put the cruise at 55 and head home... I stop at US-12 for the light hit green and take off then I get to the double lane and I see a cat off to my right..... woudlnt ya know the damn thing ran out and I tapped teh brakes (not too hard I had cars behidn me) and yeah that wasnt enough... . THUD THUMP yep dead kitty



SOB I yell in the cab then I "phone a friend" and find out that the ticket is NO points but 120. 00 OUCH!!!!!! so i pay 114. xx for the shoes and 120 for the ticket so im up to a 234. 00 evening... ... It looks like Im going to be working and mowing for free for a day



AAAAHHHHHH speed limit it is to hastings :{ I was profiled! they were out to get me I know it!





anyways

Ian

 

[Babyfat]

I can only put in a half day at hastings Neices b-day.



SO WHEN YOU WANT TO GO UP EARLY? TO SEE BURNOUTS? IT'LL PROLLY TAKE 1-1:30 HOURS TO GET THERE FROM JAX



OK TRAIN LEAVING JAX (AIRPORT RD MEIJERS) 8:30 AM PICKING UP CURTIS ON THE WAY. SOUND OK WITH ALL?



HEY TICKETTAKER (JK) DON'T TEASE ABOUT MY WAGON EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES

 

[I-6DZL]

Damn Ian that really sux. Glad you told us all about it, so now we can feel sorry for ya What an expensive evening.



Sunday is really looking like crap!! Cold prolly rainy. If it doesn't clear up any better than the forecaster is saying, i'm not even going to go. I have ALOT of work to do around the house. But if it clears up nice, i'll go.



Meet at my place sounds great. John do you know how to get there ??



Curtis

 

[Babyfat]

I Have A Uncle That Lives In Hastings I HOPE I CAN REMEMBER HE LIVE ON EAST SIDE THE FAIR GROUNDS ARE ON THE WEST

 

[I-6DZL]

Good thing you know where you're going!!!!!



Boys and Girls, looks like we'll have a D-Max coming to play for the weekend.



Supposedly he's stock (like the rest of us) and will beat all dodges that steps to the plate. The fords on the other hand are a totally different story. Just as long as they're straight piped, i don't care, they sound SWEEEEEEET.



Anyhow, let the games begin, let the good times roll, let the D-Max hold together for the weekend and not spill oil all over the dyno, let the fords even make it to the dyno, let alone run on the dyno, and finally LET THE SMOKE ROLL, and the high #'s fly.



Are we there yet ??



Pre-register here www.dynoserve.com Please have your Vin # and weight of vehicle (approx) and lets hope you remember your name!!!

All Diesels welcome, 'cept 18wheelers of course!
