The silver R/T lives again.

Bought a battery for it last week, along with some fresh mobil 1 and a new Mopar oil filter.

Put the new battery in it Saturday and did an oil change on it as well. Check the rockers and everything seemed good, so it was either a deflated lifter making a lot of rackit or a spun bearing.

Must have been a lifter. :rockwoot:

I've been driving her for almost a week to and from work, put like 300-400 miles on it. More than it's had in probably the last two years. The girlfriend loves the truck....color me surprised, most girls think it's to noisy or something along that line...

Anyway...I'm saving up to get the heads/cam done. Buying a house is a drain on the funds. :jester:

Are we having a fall meet this year? If we are, I'll push and try to get the Heads/Cam done and tuned by then...

Anyone wanna hook up a nitrous system? haha ;)

I'd like to try and make it out for a fall meet.

PSU's car club will have some events I'll forward to you guys as well.

I won't have my new blower set up done in time, but I should have the megasquirt re wired for fuel, spark and progressive meth control soon.

What does the wife think of it?

There will be a fall "meet." It all depends on who's junk is running at that point as to what we do.

its not exactly for sale anymore, the trans was making a ticking sound and its being diagnosed right now. it ran fine but i pulled the tranny out before something happened to it. I think its the torque converter.

If she or you ever needs a place to crash for the night, let me know. I've got a really comfortable sleep sofa in the basement and an extra bedroom with it's own shower upstairs....however, it has a really tiny bed in it.

I may just do that, when do you play?

Once I get settled, things should be easier. Comcast comes on Friday to set up the cable, intArwebs and phone.

Chris, I am down! Just let me know when your ready and
I'll stop in and give you a hand with the installs. Glad to hear she is back running! I'm hoping to have my truck back from the body shop in the next few weeks, so for once in a long time I will have a truck for the meet.

I have something worthy now, even though it might not be the R/T :burnout:
