Yeah that's right JAG1 is camping in my front yard with his Dodge truck and truck camper. I'll post up pictures tomorrow in the daylight.

 

Well I made it back from Huntington, OR just now. Good trip home being we waited for the storm to pass. JAG1 drove through it. (Covering Eyes) but I see he made it just fine.

 

BTW, Anybody have antidote for getting off the slippery slope of power modes? I have an automatic

 

Sounds like BOMB (Better Of Modified Baby!) bug bit you.

 

I've got to admit we had a wonderful time hanging out for a week. JAG1 is a awesome character to get to know. Sure has a wonderful talent for working with wood.   I hope to see him again in the near future. Weather should be warmer and less snow. But here is a few pictures of our camp out in Huntington, OR.

Easy, just build an automatic!  When I had mine rebuilt several years ago, my trans builder/friend went above and beyond my perceived future mods. He said I would thank him later, and he was completely right. 5 years and 100k miles later Ive stil got room to grow and retain the reliability.

I got a good shot of the Mopar family all around the kitchen. Got to get that posted cause it's great.

Yes to the built auto trans Diesel4life, it will have to happen when this stocker starts to go. Mikes truck was too fun.

Bomb bug bites hard cause I always said it would never happen, now got me with a vengeance.

Opps...

 

All I did was...   And JAG1 had a perma-smile from ear to ear. All I did was pull up Goose Creek grade in 4th squeezed the throttle a bit deeper than normal and the rear tires let go. JAG1 was shocked when the truck pulled a bit sideways around the corner just as the rear tires broke lose. What was funny was he asked me to drive his truck after installing the injection pump. I knew I couldn't because I'd have to put my boot through the floor to make it pull like mine. So I stayed a passenger for the sake of his stock tranny.

 

So JAG1 is off to work to get paid so he can cure his sickness...  I know he feels the love here...

Your funny Mike, kinda tells me how this bite got you before, since you know so much about it.

What can I say its a illness every Dodge Ram Cummins owner has to deal with. You never know when the bug will bite you and when it does you don't what to do next. Well you in the right spot we can spend you money for you.

 

Seriously. JAG1 has a very nice stock powered truck very clean as well. He's done a lot of supporting mods to the truck already like front end work, suspension for heavy camper, and fuel system that I've seen. Yeah... He's still got a stock tranny and that is the weak point. So till that's dealt with I say enjoy what you got. Then you can step up to a Edge, Smarty, etc.

Man, I'm really wishing my pump tap was working right when you were up here Mike.

Sounds like we should orchestrate something to have a meet at Mike's place. Would be fun to have. Ill bring the elk!

I think I am close enough to join up with everyone too, being I am in Missoula. I think a get together would be great!

If your not careful I might end up camping in your yard this summer.

Bring it on!! We love having visitors! Otherwise we would love to make a trip out your way, or meet in the middle and have a weekend at a campground.

... I am looking to move up into your area Will, might be careful what you say   I'll bring beer.

 

 

should be what, 1 tank of of diesel to get up there?  Made it to rushmore on 1/2 tank soooo

Heck I'm already planing on putting fresh rubber on the RV so I can go traveling this summer. MoparMom and I already have a plan at some point to head east into Montana and Wyoming for a trip. If you happen to be in the travel path I might just have to pull in camp a night.

We will be in Wyoming the week of Aug. 10-14. We are still sorting out plans but tentatively we are planning on spending a couple of those days at Yellowstone. I haven't been there since I was a child, so needless to say I am excited about going and more excited for my boys to be able to experience it.

That's cool. I went there one time but the line to the gate was so crammed after an hour wait we turned around and left. Don't know why but that year it was mobbed with visitors.

Is it okay if I set up my mail box next to yours. Number one squatter here....
