Evening everybody!! Hope everybody had a good day!! Mine has been a good day. Just hangin out in the hotel room now.
Yeah Tom it should be alot of fun! They actually have a 2011 back home. I havent heard it run yet but am hoping to stop by later this week sometime and check it out!!
Hey Steve glad to hear all the racing was fun!! Cant wait to see the pics!
I did run #2 in 4WD, it didn't make any difference, if anything I feel it took away from the overall power as you can see in run 3&4. Also my RT was improving with each run too.
Did I mention both were running tuners too, Jim tried 120 tune and smoked his tires in 4 gears....Pete blew his boot off in one of the runs, you can hear it in the video.
I also ran it over the scales this morning I weighted in at 7680 with me and everything I have in it on a daily basis, I want to see what it weighs with 10 gallons of fuel and no tool box in the back.
I wasn't too disappointed in 17.5's, but I do want to see how much it can improve over time.

Evening everyone. Have not been around much lately.
Glad to see you had fun Steve, I can't remember, did you install the Y pipe.
Just a little info for you, I pulled my 5er up to the casino and back, 230 miles. It defiinetly tows better with the 5 star and Y pipe, and has alot more torque. I even got .5mpg better than average at a faster speed, but now I think I may change gears. I still can not hold OD very well. It pulls good, but will shift down on not very large hills, but really goes when it does shift to drive, will get to 80 mph with 9000lbs 5er in a hurry.
Hey Dave, was looking around again for gear shops and a Libson Driveline in NE Minneapolis popped up, it that your new shop or any relation?
Troy, I know where you can get a neck brace if you need one from the tight turns in that Dodge.

Morning everyone.
Don't mean to start CL bashing again, but sometimes you have too... Late model WD Allis Chalmers
Has been uncovered the last 10 years, was running good before put into storage. Engine partially disassembled.
For some odd reason, I don't think it was running too good if the engine is now partially disassembled.... maybe that's just me though.
