midwest wrench fest

[supersports10]

im thinking about having a wrench session on april 7th at my house in southeren wi.

id like to get at least 5 trucks to show up, (my gf wants to take pics

)

i know theres at least 5-10 trucks that need attention in the wi, ill, in, io, mn, area.

I have tunercats if anyone is looking to get their gm vehice tuned. TBSS's are no problem along with anything they support

Re: midwest wrench fest

I always have something I need help with installation for those willing to help, as ALL in this thread have helped me wrench on my Ty previously. I have a few small items and the job no one wants (the dreaded FP). 2 post lift too...? I wanted to get another tune done since it's was last done at your place Clint (2yaers). I may have to scramble together some parts before SAT. It'll help that I'm off 1/2 day tomorrow and next Friday too. I know someone else who is wanting to run DM who may be up for a trip to WI.

Re: midwest wrench fest

Tune up parts on the way from Hood. I have a new trans to shifter cable from Prime Gears, front sway bar greasable bushings, Borgenson steering shaft and maybe a 3 bar by then. I know too much for a days work but, I'll bring what I have and see what I have to bring back home. I also need help with one of my driving lights. It is dim compared to the other and it is not properly installed after the bumper repaint.

What time do you want to get started?

I did not hear back from Juggalo either.

Re: midwest wrench fest

Steering shaft = pain in the rump. The rest of those are easily do-able in a day with air tools and a lift.

I might not be able to make it (more than likely that'll be the case).

A tip I'll throw out if you are going to do a fuel pump - use bungy cords to hold the tank in place after you remove the straps. It'll let you drop it far enough to yank the pump without needing to completely remove the tank.

Re: midwest wrench fest

im hoping for more people to come.... right now it looks like sel777 is the only one.

Re: midwest wrench fest

I was thinking of coming to join in the fun even without my truck but I might have to now go pick up a new toy for the truck. It all depends on how soon I can track down a lifter guide retainer

Re: midwest wrench fest

Make that 2 trucks. I spoke with Juggalo and he said he's game for SAT and, he's bringing his Ty too. The more (trucks/people) the merrier.

Brandon - did you mention it to Terry?

Brandon - did you mention it to Terry?

I voted that I would come but without the truck but I haven't posted yet or email supersport yet cause I might not be able to make it now.

I meant your fellow SyTyer from ALG - Terry. I sent him a pm and copied you on it.

Sorry for any confusion.

Re: midwest wrench fest

I totally forgot about talking to Terry and I drive past his house all the time. I will stop by there friday if we dont hear from him sooner
