Hey All;

I think the forum is finally gonna let me post :woohoo:
I'm just your average computer geek from 9 to 5.
The wife and I love motorcycling, so we bought a 29' toyhauler last year. We were tired of bad motels or never having enough camping gear. Once I had the trailer delivered to our yard, I needed to find something to pull it! Found a good deal on a 99 Ram CTD. I plan on keeping it stock, just wanted a truck that wasn't going to choke going where-ever we wanted to go.
Nice to see some local, friendly, knowledgable diesel owners (ya, you got me fooled :falldownlaugh: ) Thanks for letting me hang around.

Welcome! Make sure you put a fuel pressure gauge on your new baby to protect that VP44!

Yup, There seems to be a bunch of them there P7100 pumps going in & out the "Undervalved" boys side of the shop. :dunno: I guess that you need to mess with that P-Pump thingy instead of pressing a few "Buttons" to make it go. :popc1:

PS; Welcome, If you need a hand with that gage, drop by Friday nights, and if you need to Kbow what to buy, just post your question on the "Coffee Night" thread :exactly:

Thanks for the warm welcome!
As luck would have it, it came with a fuel pressure gauge and a new lift pump (running 12 psi). I'll be installing a tranny temp gauge and an EGT gauge, plus a new 3 gauge pillar mount. They're sitting in the garage, waiting for my step-son (USAF diesel mechanic :flag_usa:) to stop by. Oh ya, it's got an aFe air-cleaner and the prom was dealer flashed for towing. Unless I add a bigger/aux fuel tank, that should just about do it for bombs.
I'd like to stop by a function, check out your trucks and maybe get some opinions on mine. Thanks for the invite!

If you stop in and look around and go for a ride or two... the first statement that is quoted... is... well... you'll see... :popc1:
