I'd like to go to a meeting. Seems like there is no one around me that are even remotely into BOMBing/diesels.
Lets set something up for July, I'm busy this whole month with school.

Well it's out of the tranny shop now but when he was road testing it it appeared the head gasket blew so I towed it down to the dealer and it now appears the motor has an internal crack somewhere filling the crankcase with anti freeze. waiting to hear what's going to happen now. It wasn't Crazzy larry, when I first bought the truck I installed the x monitor and the tranny was running about 160 degrees and then with about 7000 kms it jumped up to over 200. I took it into the dealer and they told me the tranny was fine and that everything was normal. changed out a few thing thinking I could resolve it but no so I tought that maybe they really did know what they were talking about. Until the tranny craped out at 65000 kms. cooked it real good and now the problems with the motor. I am just a little worried right now.

... I guess warranty is out of the question? July 8/9 should be fine for me from where I stand now,unless we book in a big tournanment along with the couple of little ones during that weekend. We hosted the Alberta Open qualifier today and it **** poured on the poor guys all day, they looked like a bunch of drowned rats

The weekend of the the 8th/9th works for me.
I might have a truck coming out of Lethbridge depending on the actual date. He's a new to him CTD owner, 97 12 valve. Wants to see what's involved in turning it up a bit. I figures there would be a couple of guys there that might now something about doing it.
I'm down at the coast June 18 to 24, give or take. Might have to stick my nose in to PDR and see if I can spend a few $$$.
Also have a new fuel pump thing happening I'd like to throw past you guys. Been beating it around for awhile now, looks very promising so far.

Hello all.
Well I am going to make it this time for one of these events. I need to buy Homestead a tim's coffee or something for introducing me to this website around 2 years ago in Cochrane. I just purcashed a mega cab that we could pick apart, work was going so good that we had to expand and buy another truck,aww shucks. July 8-9 works well for me. On a side note I would be launching from Aridrie. We will bring both trucks, I think my father-in -law would love to be apart of this as well.

So what's the scoop?
It seems we have agreed on the 8th or 9th of July, which day? I'm good for either one. I have a few trucks from out of town waiting for a date so they can make the trip.
I'm heading down to the coast for a week, leaving around the 17/18th of this month and back on the 25th.
I will be hitting PDR sometime during that week. If anyone needs anything picked up, I'll haul it back for you. Make the arrangements with PDR so all I have to do is load it and go.
