Lots of fun and I would like to thank everyone there for helping out. I'm looking forward to the next one!

 

Another great shot.

Itsnotanova head first into his. I believe he did wicked wheel, FRX, HPX, 5 Inch exhaust, and gauges.

Looks like a good time was had. Hope you guys got a lot done.

Thank you guys! I dunno if i got pictures of the burgers and stuff but they were awesome!


Rowdy bunch of truck junkies right here...







Chris & Jeff. Anyone recognize the logo on that coozie?



Brother Ted thank you for once again hosting our rag tag group of grease mongers!
It was a blast as always. I very much enjoyed bouncing from truck to truck helping where and when i could. I had some things come up this morning and just couldnt get away. Glad to hear everybody was able to roll under their own power today. Hope the mods perform well and the rigs keep running strong.

Matt... we missed you. Your name was in the air often.

Doug... you too were missed. We didnt have any emergency wiring to get the blood pumping

So... when's the next one?

 

Let me see if I can recall what was done. My truck had the following things completed: turbo rebuild, IPR rebuild, Injector O-ring replacement, and AIH delete.

Itsnotanova had the wicked wheel upgrade, FRX, HPX, 5 inch exhaust, and gauges.

Cameeks I think did brakes and shocks. Sorry Chris not sure it that was it or not.

Tailgate did the turbo rebuild, but I don't think he was able to do everything to that he wanted. Also, the hutch mod, and I am not certain what else.

Jeffrey did wicked wheel and I lost track of what else.

I know I probably messed something up.

It was a wonderful weekend. Beautiful weather and great fun was had as a lot of work was completed.

Thanks goes out to Gus and Amanda and Jeff and his wife, sorry Jeff I can't remember your wife's name, for making sure there was grub for all.

 

I am thinking that I will schedule another for May. Hopefully, more BS and less wrenching. These tech days sure do come in handy for those of us that are less sure of ourselves. Thank you Roland, Razzi, and Christof for helping where ever a hand was needed.

 

I sure had a smile on my face going home today after feeling a difference in the performance of my truck. For the record, I did the following to my nearly stock truck. Switched to 5 inch exhaust, FXP,HXP, Wicked Wheel II, International up pipes, 3 pod gauge, IAH delete, EBPV delete pedestal, $.50 mod and torqued everything down under the valve covers. My problem now is I think my boots need replacing. At about 1800rpm pulling a trailer, it makes a whistling sound real loud. I'm sure the 6637 doesn't help much either (sound wise)!? For those who heard my truck on Friday, it was so loud because I forgot to tighten the lower bolts on the up-pipes. Now it sounds good.

 

I will try my best to show up and not work on my truck in May.

 

I didn't take the first pic, but I'm enjoying seeing what everyone else had going on while I was wrenching on Tex. I did up pipes, new turbo and pedestal Orings, IPR rebuild, RDP billet wheel, and Overboost code regulator. I did muffler delete last week.

The muffler delete brought my EGTs waaaayyyy down. The RDP wheel brought my boost waaaayyy up. At 3/4 to 4/5 throttle, I hit 30 pounds at just under 1200 degrees before letting off. Razzi was giggling like a little girl lol.

I feel like I'm where I want to be engine wise. Pretty dang close to 100%. Maybe some fresh or slightly upgraded sticks, but that's about all I can think of for getting where I want to be. The next mod will be a transmission. Either BTS or HD, but probably an HD.

Guys thanks for all the help, and I really enjoyed the fellowship.

 

I wonder what I need to do to see 30 lbs boost. Best I have ever seen was 22. Will have to check all tubes and connections as now boost topped at 16. So I know I have a leak somewhere. Just done with wrenching for a week or so.
