Wirsch said you were going full billet, that's what I should do with mine. I still need to have mine rebuilt, and it's only getting worse....

take it swimming and it will go out really fast for ya i payed 1600 for bullet torque converter and heavy duty clutches and i believe he said they ported the fluid passages 1 year unlimited mileage warrenty and 2 years on the converter

the place that did it has 2 96 cummins 3500 plow/dump trucks that have been going for 2 year with out a problem

Sounds great Curl! I can't wait for next Saturday, its gonna be mega badass haha.

I went out and helped work on the field yesterday, we've about got all the fence up, and the whole bog has been 2-row plowed. We got the pump ready but the PVC fitting wouldn't fit the pump. It got dark and I left, not sure if they found a correct reducer or if we'll have to get one today. Either way the water will be flowing ASAP.

I think we've decided to take the big pile down a notch or two, just too much of a liability. Levi plans to get a dozer friday, which will make quick work of the pile. This will also be the pull out vehicle for the bog.

I spent the day yesterday tying up loose ends on the truck. I think it's finished enough for now. Right now I'm debating taking it out there today for a little testing and to help finish up the fencing and what-not.

trans is in took 4 hours but 13qts wasn't enough fluid so i have to get more today and see if that does the trick

16 qts to fill the entire transmission system

truck moves great and is ready to haul 8 hours

Looked at the forecast today, and if we get all the rain they are talking about, I might be able to make it down. I'm thinking I'll throw the 37'' Boggers on and probably just take my front fenders off so they will fit.

 

[Bray D]

That would be awesome if you made it down Brad. I hope it gets it all out of its system by Saturday, if not, I don't mind playin in the rain

 

[Redjosh]

i like the rain for playing in but not camping in the rain

 

[JohnnyU]

Yea, I'm not so much looking forward to camping in the rain either.....

 

[Redjosh]

well i loaded the truck in sleet today and i am rolling out at 8am tomorrow i should be in town around 6 or 7 if the wind is at my back maybe sooner

 

[Burnside]

godspeed, see you tonight hoser. wish I could be there to see the people rubber necking at the beat to fawk dodge on 50" tractor tires getting towed down the interstate.

 

[Redjosh]

DOT COPS here i come good thing i got all the red fuel out haha

 

[JohnnyU]

Good luck and drive safe. I'll see you Friday when we pull in to Manito. Poor little town, they won't know what hit them when we all show up....

Wish I could run red fuel...and not get caught....

 

[Bray D]

Yeah right, Manito owns the offroad community. We've got so many hardcore wheelers here it isn't even funny. hahaha

I think you could get away with it John. I've never had a PoPo check my fuel before.

The $10,000 fine rerally makes the cost savings dwindle in a hurry though....
