New to Forum
Hello there..
I'm new to the forum.., and have lot's of questions to pick ya'lls expertise.
I'd really like to see the Dyno.., and see what my Diesel can do..., not much now, I guess.., 'cause it really needs to be tweaked..
I've met Rick - 93dodge@charter.net in Suffolk.., and he helped me out with some advice.., I live in Yorktown/Grafton VA,
I'll be at the Annual Scrambler-Jeep Owners meet in Little Rock, AR on June 8-12, but I'm glad to see that ya'lls meet will be later.., so I definitely can make it...
My truck is a 93 W350 4x4 5.9, it has all the banks turbo and whiz-bang stuff.., but actually runs like a very very tired dog ..., seems like I've just fixed (patched) the turbo/intercooler hump hoses (have cracks in them..) and that fixed the 8 mpg/no power problem I've had for a couple of years..., now it's giving me 19 mpg, but haven't tried a load on it.., I usually pull an 15K lb 5th wheel/camper/Jeep hauler..., if anybody has a set of hump hoses with NO cracks.. laying around.. I'd like to buy them
Regards

Looks like June 24th & 25th is winning
I've moved my trip to Connecticut to the week of June 13th so the 24th and the 25th works for me now. Since it looks like we will not have a dyno, I would like to get a list of people still coming and what if any work you would like to do. I have a friend in Spotsylvaina that needs a three gauge pod installed on an 01 (the one that broke down in Indiana) and hooked up if anyone cares to help. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and we will have a few more campers this year. Last year was a blast clean way into the wee hours of the morning for some. 
I didn't make it too long into the morning since I had spent most of the two previous days flying to and driving from Terra Haute.
Anyway, looks like the date is set and one Monday when I get out of here at a reasonable hour, I will go by the CVFD and make sure they are good with that date. This event is growing every year, it is a good place to have some good clean family fun, and the all the proceeds go to the CVFD. I don't keep any of the money at all. Last year, we raised like $687.00 for the CVFD if I remember right. Lets see if we can do better this year and if you have any sponsors or anyone that wants to donate anything at all to the raffle, let me know. If you want to donate anything, bring it along. Can be a gallon of Shell Rotella, and oil filter, a fuel filter, a pair of gloves, a hat, whatever.
I will more than likely be going to the price club for the steaks again soon. I may ask for a dollar or two donation this year for the CVFD people. We will have my sons grille there and may need another one as back up. The brats last year were to die for (almost literally).
Bring your trucks, bring your friends and their trucks, bring the family, bring your campers, and lets have a good time. See you there.

I'll be there with my TDI Jetta (unless I find a 12v 5spd 4x4 before then) unless is the weekend before or after July 4th. Going to Disney with the family *gag* 
. Anyone finding a decent example of what I'm looking for give me a shout. I finally got the wife to ok a new truck but she made me promise it wouldn't cost me $600 a month like my 03 did! See you all soon. Chris BTW the range sounds like a good idea, I'd like to show off my new Glock 45GAP.
