Philly area Diesel gathering/picnic

It has occured to me that i sponsor off road events for land rovers and G wagons so i could put names to faces and have a great day offroading.
Now i also have the dodge cummins, and you folks here have been a great help! with the rovers we have some shop days, as well as dinners, Is there anyone here interested in meeting at some park where we can hang out and bbq some meat???? I would be interested in this sometime in mid to late july, And there are plenty of truck friendly parks nearby!
Peter.

I've been fine, saving for injectors so I haven't done anything to the truck.

No plans yet, but I'll let you know if I hear anything. You could always set up something if you get bored. All you need is a place and a date and you can get a few guys together.

What Dave said. There are quite a few of us around here.

There are a couple things upcoming:

July 7-9: Carlisle Mopar Show, and Bloomsberg (I'll be at Carlisle)

Over on TDR, there is someone trying to get a dyno day together in Newark, DE, for July 15 or 29

August 4-6: All Truck Nats at Carlisle

So, work around those dates.

Completely off the subject, but how hard are the pre-MBUSA G500s/G55s to find? My wife and I have been looking at used ones and the consensus is to find an 00 or 01 model.

I'm close to Philly.

Can you tell us the location for this? I've been wanting to see some trucks on the dyno, maybe even my own if I get some worth while mods by then...

He hasn't given the name of the shop - so I don't know. I do know he is shooting for July 15 or 29th. The thread has been kind of quiet, so I'll keep monitoring it.

Cut and past from TDR:

The shop is called ACA Performance off of Old Baltimore Pike in Newark, DE. The dyno is a Dynojet, don't know the exact model. He's starting to get into diesel tuning. He is a dealer of a couple different products and is getting set up for more diesel products. Their web site is www.aca-performance.com
