Bummer on the trans! I'm getting a little worried about mine, it started doing a weird thing where it drops out of lockup if you back off the throttle a tiny bit on a hill. I could understand going out of lockup if increasing the throttle, but not this (and it didn't seem to do it before). You have to back off just the right amount to get it to happen.

Who's doing your new trans?

He has a BTS, so my guess is he's sending it to Brian. That'll be a nice freight charge!!

This sounds too cool. I'd sure like to attend to meet some of you guys and listen to 7.3 diesel talk. I drool thinking of all the trucks I'd get to see. I can't even imagine what all I might learn. Yep.."I'm a know nothing."

Somehow pushing my walker along and tripping on my oxy tubes while main-lining Geritol might be a turn off to the younger crowd. Will it be all "young un's" or will there be some grandpa's there? Clay do you know if there will be a "CPR" booth anywhere near the Dyno set up?

If I brought my camper would I need to reserve a RV spot in a local campground or is there room on or near site? This is too close for me not to try and fanagle a way to come. Sounds like a ton a fun. Plus I love BBQ so can't wait to see what I might be able to learn there.

no, i never even got to play!! i was on the test run.


i did not read the instruction pages completely, and thought #3 was 80 econo.


#3 is 120 race.

excessive smoke, speeding, and aggressive driving for pulling off the line and spinning the tires when it hit second.

within 500 ft, i was doing over 55mph in a 40 zone.


damn rookie cops. just wait till i tell his father he gave me tickets!!

Instead of a Diesel Dyno Rally it's gonna look like Quartzite, Arizona!!

Great, thanks for the moral support.
