Just got word from Heath and it sounds like the crew cab lost a head gasket and was pressurizing the cooling system.
He's currently trying to get the truck and camper home safely at this point.

That SUX

You ain't kidding John! This is making me nervous since I'm having to rush thru getting Goldie and the fiver ready last minute, more so than years past.

just got done hooking up CB in the dually, still need a coax but hard part is done. also replaced the boost gauge(showed 1 lb boost when motor wasnt running) and replaced pyro(inop since i owned it)

Heath is a smart dude, he will get it handled. But I bet he is not real happy.

I still have to:

Pull my injectors and clean the carbon build up around them. It is gettin' a might bit smokey.

Remove my muffler, I think it is clogged.

Install new cdr.

Install a pressure sensitive switch on my water injection to cycle the pump so it does not melt.

Clean out the oil/gas/dirt/junk/sludge in my bed.

Mix up some wmo.

Change my oil, it is quite experianced.

Plus some other crap I probably forgot.

HEY!!!

 

[88beast]

well its closer than i thought so im gonna get some mad work in on it tomorrow when im off work and then take off 1st to 4th and come up for 2-3 days
the thing is ive been putting off so much work cause im moving and geting a garage soon so.... no point outdoors lol
but to get her there ill need to
mount the coolant overflow tank
load up all the tools in the bed
and other junk camping related
then i gotta finish the battery hold down
lower tire pressure cause the 37s ride like hell and have been wearing in the middle
check out all the common things that would go wrong cause its just my luck
and then i need to clean the load of crap out of the bed and somehow fit it in my sotrage unit
take the spare out of storage
sell a 86 monte carlo im flipping to have playing money
then bring stuff to do at the rally
i think ill put the mirrors on there
and i was going to do the turbo but... i aint got it welded up yet so im out of luck there unless someones bringing a welder or and a large air tank to power a cutoff wheel (if youre that amazing let me know)
o i gotta steal the contours battery to bring as backup cause i killed the batts recently and i only drove 2 times since they got a charge and with my luck
but the good news you break down ill have tools i got a whole set in the truck at all times
then i also carry 4 jackstands 2 jacks and a highlift jack and a 4x4 hub socket set and tons of other pliers sockets and stuff then 2 big breaker bar pipes 3 breaker bars a hack saw and a volt meter and now i have onboard air

wow i think im good on tools the bad part is they are always in the truck
and anyone passing through harrisburg feel free to contact mel he will be able to get ahold of me if you breakdown or something

Looks Sweet Jon! Really disappointing that I cant make it to the Rally and miss meeting you and seeing your rig!

ya know i had a wild thought last night about bringing my 110 mig, i actaully plan on bringing my hand grinder with cut off wheels...........its only like a 45 min drive for me so bringing extra junk is not as big a deal.

not sure how the camp ground would look on a welding party though
