I got horse bedding 2 weeks or so ago. 2 pallets, 50 bags each, 40lbs per bag some of it over the tailgate (SB). she was squatting a bit but no other issues.

If anyone knows my part of the state, I went down RT 16 towards Samon River holding it back to 40 mph, but I was able to excelerate to 50 going up the other side

That's the way to work a truck!! However, I have a 1.7? Ton slip from a couple of years ago, still have the slip...

Today I hauled a couple of loads of horse manure (sp?) .. nothing hauls azz and horse poop like a 12-valve.

Carl, truck looks good!

yes im allowed to surf the internet and make phone calls from when we stop for gas which we do every single morning at the same gas station, between 8-8:20am and while we are in route to the next stop, which takes anywhere from 10-30 mins. This time it was only 10 mins away, so i was at the job doing work when 9am came around so your busted.

Couple pics of the new turbo setup and powder coating.

The pipes are getting powder coated in 2 weeks, the filter will be covered by an Outer Wears, the HX will be coated also, and some more detailing will be done, should look nice once its all cleaned up.

BlkRam1 · #**2729** 04-18-2009, 10:39 PM

2AM and my lil helper woke up eager to assist in the install

Header wrapped manifold and Hot Pipe.

Mopar Mike J · #**2730** 04-18-2009, 11:18 PM

Man. Todd, that's lookin' reeeal good!!

therabbittree · #**2731** 04-19-2009, 08:33 AM

nice!... mummn i got soe mideas from you.. awhen you say the hx is getting coated to..do you me the turbine housings? ie cermaric or just powder coat the compressors?.. nice

dieselnomad · #**2732** 04-19-2009, 08:37 AM

That's looking awesome Todd!

BlkRam1 · #**2733** 04-19-2009, 09:44 AM

Thanks guys, I figure if it doesnt go fast at least it can be clean

, both housings are gonna get done, the exhaust will be ceramic and the compressor will be powder, the pipes are either gonna be the silver or the candy red, also when the cam goes in the radiator support will be repainted and then the factory stickers put back in place

95ctd · #**2734** 04-19-2009, 01:32 PM

Rack Plug PITA to do or no

97dodgectd · #**2735** 04-19-2009, 01:41 PM

no not too difficult if you can turn wrench. and have a tool to cut away at your timing cover. this is something that is perfect for a coffee night. I've seen a drill bit used to notch the timing case and it worked just fine.

therabbittree · #**2737** 04-19-2009, 08:14 PM

when i had 2 12v's they both had mack plugs in them its not rocket science, you loosen the stock plug, and take a die grinder, or whatever you want to notch the timing cover so the plug will fit thru....and you take duct tape and cover the hole where stock plug was to make sure no metal shavings get in the pump. then you install the mack rack plug and turn the wrench to the right to tighten it and enjoy. i've seen nice gains from this little $13 mod but what do i know.....also you can't fail at putting a mack rack plug in, you either put it or you don't its not like a heart transplant where you could fail, you can't fail, i'll take a picture tomorrow so you can see what has to be taken out of the timing case.

My friend who was the diesel mechanic there told me what happened....It was not the choice of the holley family. Chysler Exec's called Glenn Holley (owner) last monday and told them they had to shut down as of 7am Friday. He said it was a really big shock

to all the employees,who were told Tuesday afternoon. He went on to say that Chysler is going to do away with the "mom and pop" Dealers and only stick with bigger ones( up this way that would be Executive, Papas, Gengras, and Artioli ). Its part of the Re-Organizing plans that Chysler Had to submit to get more bailout money.
IMO Holley was the best dealer to do busineess with.

And there goes my free oil changes for life on my Dually!!!

05lonestar · #**2744** 04-20-2009, 04:30 PM

imo aj holley was a pain in the ass to deal with, they treated me like an asshole after spending 30k on a used truck. i asked them to at least fill the tank and they gave me a whopping $10.00 fuel voucher. almost cancelled the sale right there and then. ripped the fuel voucher up right in front of them. of course your boy glen wasnt there to help me that day.

Stark9802 · #**2745** 04-20-2009, 06:40 PM

yeah thats wierd..My Truck was filled up when i bought it. Their service department always came through for me though.

Diesel97 · #**2746** 04-20-2009, 07:33 PM

I seem to side with Dennis.

02smokemaker · #**2747** 04-20-2009, 07:54 PM

I had some bad dealings with them and some good. Bad for buying vehicles from them good for parts prices. I was looking at an 01 qcsb that they had listed as an ho which it wasn't but there was no telling them that plus they were trying to sell it to me with 4 mismatched tires on it

they were going to replace all the ball joints on it though

I always paid lowest prices there for oem stuff though.

Hes not done messing with it(making it pretty) yet and will re-install battery when he gets around to it and wont have to keep removing/installing it.
