Looks nice, I like the new Mitre cuts too instead of the flat tops.



Pete, I got the billyjoejimbob farmer ingenuity exhaust brake working but I've got to figure out clamps and ends before I can put it on, I'll be sending some numbers for you to check on.

Ohtay Spanky! Sorry, Billyjoejimbobwhite!

 

[Diesel Dummie]

well tim i wanna see to,wanna put one on my truck!

I got to see how it works. Basically, I took my old brake apart since I got a new turbo, and I had a 4 inch inline brake I got off of e-bay for cheap and put the vacuum actuator from the stock brake on the inline brake which had a pressure actuator. In the process I found that the two brakes turned in different directions so making things work involved welding up and machining the butterfly to fit it's original housing but upside down so it would seal up. I'll try to get some pictures next week.

What are you guys, slippin? It's been 2. 5 whole days since anybodys posted! Slackers! Sheesh, it's not like you guys actually work for a living! :{

I've been busy on my day off, check out my new thread about Custom Light . I got side tracked with the exhaust brake. I'm working now so you may see me post a little more :-laf

 

[PToombs]

Tim, I wish I could get on the computer at work. Unfortunately, the webmistress frowns on that stuff! Besides, I've been on the road alot lately. The lights look good, I was scoping them last nite. Gotta fly,

 

[PToombs]

I can't believe it! And we were off to a good start too!

Any hoo. . What do you guys want to do for the spring thing? (Hey, I like that!) Wrench? Eat? (duh, sorry, that was a given) We can have a cook out here at the house, lots of room. A park across the street, if anyone wants to bring family. I have a good supply of tools and more available. Should I tell my wife? naaaah. There's a back road near by for Dan to play.

Throw some ideas out here.

 

[Diesel Dummie]

Well we need a place to play for sure, and a cookout is a great idea. Way to go pete!

 

[Turbo Tim 1]

There is a place near me that does sand drags! We could do a little racing I'm easy... ... .

 

[PToombs]

I'm easy... ... .

Well! That explains your wifes condition! :-laf

I think I'd have to get bigger tires to play in the sand.

 

[Diesel Dummie]

[PToombs]

No nooooo... no smarty for me again, wayyyyy to addictive for someone who likes smoke as much as me, and a stock auto!!! If we wanna wrench, I'll bring the tank vent & directions with me, you guys can assist me with that- Jeff- order yourself one, like 33 bucks delivered, we can knock off 2!



Maybe, just maybe I can bring the buddy who got that free '89- he is in the process of swapping it out into an '89 F350 crew cab dually body!

 

[Diesel Dummie]

[PToombs]

I haven't seen the body yet, but he said it is from TX or OK, somewhere out there. My only worry for him is that the F350 body is a manual shift, and the Cummins was an auto. That seems like a ton of extra work, not to mention I was breakin his stones about not having a engine hoist big enough!
