Announcing the formation of...



N.E.S.T or North East Seven Threes (sorry ETAPS we borrowed your idea)

An organization of 7.3 Powerstrokes in the the north east region of the US.

Those invited to join N.E.S.T. : 7.3 owners or members of the Brotherhood

Our first meeting is next Saturday (December 12) and it'll be a Christmas themed GTG.

What to bring: Some food item so no one person is shouldering all the burden for food expenses.

We will also be doing a grab bag type thing so if everyone could bring a wrapped 20-25$ truck or tool related gift with your name written inside the wrapping somewhere just for safety sake so nobody gets shorted.

Where: My shop. Same place we did Jim (megawatt00)'s injectors. located at
110 Barberry Rd
East haven, CT 06512

We hope to have a website up at some point but Jim is working on it in his free time which is very limited at this point so patience would be appreciated.

Yep. We're doing Bilsteins on my ride and a leveling kit on Jim (megawatt)'s.

Not entirely sure what else Jim's got up his sleeve.

I know I may or may not have a JWVB to install. If I do I'll want to do my 6.0 trans cooler at the same time and only lose fluid once.

I'm pretty sure they're gasser pistons too. Oh well I was impressed the kid I had do that even knew what a piston was. Not mechanically inclined is an understatement.

Sign me up Pete! I'm working on being able to make it next weekend, that is if you don't mind my 'silly looking' truck with the little tires. JK If I can make it I'll have my son with my this time.

My list has grown to include:
Bilsteins
Steering stabilizer
6.0 trans cooler
John Wood VB

I've got to get the parts for the 6.0 trans cooler. I've got two 3/8-1/2 PEX couplers and a bunch of hose clamps. I'll get some 1/2" hose tomorrow.

Anything I need that I don't have?
