Cool Black Mountain Grand Opening report

Wow, my first CTD gathering! What Smoke! Black, white, we had it all. Met several TDR'ers and the fine folks at BMD. Saw DD3 install, twin turbos, 19.5 wheels, stacks, dumps, Edge, TST, gauges mounted EVERYwhere, BHAF's, Scotty's, aFe's, torque plate adjustment, ATS burnout--and more.

No ebrakes. I bought a BH test gauge and a BHAF.

I was late (Nashville road work) getting to the meeting place where Got Smoke and I where going to hook up, so they had left. So I drive a bit quickly looking to catch up with them. Never saw 'em. Arrive, eat, look around a bit--and in comes GS. I had passed them when they stopped to eat. I guess I'm due a ticket.

So driving back I thinks, hey what the heck good is a BHAF in the box? I whipped into a rest area and slapped it on. GOOD GAWD what sound! It's like the turbo came into the cab. I may put the SR back in. I know that the HP didn't change, but she definitely spools a bit faster and just sounds like total stink! (highly recommended)

Going to check the pressures now, calculate MPG, rotate some tires (equalize the LS load), lose the pill bottle. And SELL that FORD for bomb money.

Thanks Tom, and can we do this again next year?

And I do love my truck, but after 8 hours Monday, 7 hours Thursday(tailwind) and 10 hours yesterday (5+5), I've had jest about all the interstate I can stand for a while. I've put 6000 miles on my truck in 7 weeks!
