Hey, if anyone knows Barneys (Flatlander) phone number please PM it to me, I sent him a bunch of those Orings to bring to the rally, but the tracking number the PO gave me isnt showing squat, so I dont know if he got them or not. I know he left last night, so Im just trying to figure out if he got them or not.

Got home today, So far everyone is having a good time. Rain on Thursday and Friday, Saturday was mostly cloudy, but doable. Mel has timed at least 4 trucks, A radiator was replaced, three bumpers were swapped, and one elec. fuel pump was installed. And lots of time was spent on Gary's truck(not sure what was eventually fixed
. Lots of food was eaten, some beverages were consumed, lots of firewood was burnt. It was good seeing some old faces, and fun meeting the new ones. I just wanted to thank Nick and Tina for hosting, the wings, and corn were great I also want to thank everyone for creating a FANTASTIC breakfast this morning. If you went away hungry that was YOUR fault. All in all it was a GREAT time! Can wait until the next one. Sorry no pictures.

Now that I am caught up on work, returning phone calls and selling a car, I can post a little more,...
The Rally went awesome, A big thanks to Nick and Tina for putting this together. Friday night we had a Buffalo Wing cookout, The food was exellent, not often you get wings when you are camping.
Like Gruss said, we did some bumper swaping, a first for any IDI Rally, Rear Bumper Install Clinic,.. Here is what happened,..
I brought down a stock bumper for Rob to replace his California tire Carrier bumper,. We made a deal and I now have that bumper on Big Ed,..Then Nick and I made a dieal on the 10" SS Chrome bumper off my truck, that one is now on Nicks PSD.
So 3 bumpers were removed and installed. Thanks for all of the help with the swaps guys!
Mel did his usual Timing Clinics, and I think he did 4 trucks,..? It was all a blurr.
the Cumins did great, on the way down, I got about 15 MPG, the temps got about 185, trans temp was 180 and egt hit 850, it ran nice and really never worked pulling the 5th wheel through the mountians. Only problem was a interooler boot pooped off with about 10 miles to go on the turnpike, It was an easy fix.
On the way home the truck was dumping out way to much smoke out of the tailpipes, we made it home but I may have an injector or pump problem. I will look into that this week.
I got a few pics but won't be able to post them till tomorrow.
It was great seeing everyone again and making new friends.

Big thanks to Rob for the bumper!.
Here are a couiple of pics of the bumper on Big Ed, Now I need to find a matching chrome wheel. instead of an old steel wheel and non matching tire. I do have a matching tire. Then get the trailer plug installed as well. the ty wrap install does not cut it.

plays dirty when losing
As I said before, you are outstanding people. We had a great time as usual. I was disappointed that I didn't drive my truck, but it was nice to not have to check gauges constantly and always have that feeling that I'm going to be coasting to a stop at any moment. I will probably need 10 or 12 uneventful trips in a row before I stop worrying quite so much.
I did however take the time this evening to warm up my truck and take a couple of pics for the diesel power thread. I figured that if I'm going to break it it would be nice to break out front of my house instead of a couple hundred miles away.

Just got home today at 4:00. Had a great time. It was nice seeing everyone again and meeting new people. Looking forward to the "Fall rally?!" Might try to make that one, maybe w/ a turbo. (I doubt it
) Thanks again to Nick and Tina for a great time.

Russ i can still bury the pyro needle at will, but i did notice a slight increase in power on the hills and better throttle response.
i did run it out of fuel on one tank while underway, but got it switched over to the other tank in time. 10 mpg towing the TT in the right lane 99% of the time running straight #2
