Merc Dr. Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Nevermind. It turns out I'm only 2 hours north after checking Mapquest. I will most likely see you guys around 4 o'clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linzerella Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Will Zippy still be there on Sunday? I have my son's B-Day party Sat. morning. I wouldn't make it until about 6pm if I came down Sat. All I need is a tune. Yes, Zippy will still be around for a while on Sunday. Since he doesn't have to work on Monday like he usually has to do we can stick around as long as we want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc Dr. Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Well, is the head job done yet? Zippy tuned my motor last night. I think I actually got the tires to break loose and chirp at me by the time I got near home last night. Chris, the high beam conversion works great! Thanks alot. This was my firts GTG. Anyone who hasn't gone to one of these gatherings, I would recommend it. It's a good group of guys that will make you feel welcome. Everyone gets along and mingles with everybody. You don't feel like an outsider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc Dr. Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I want more details in cliff note form. what heads?? you guys worked Zippy too hard! Did you leave any of hime left for Lindsey #1 Put heads on GMC with Escalade motor. #2 Headliner in Nick's truck. #3 installed high beam conversion harness in a few trucks. #4 a couple HID kits #4 I believe at least one remote start #5 One ceiling fan repair/rewire. #6 a couple PCM tunes #7 Watched Johnny Knoxville artificially inseminate a cow. I'm sure a few other things got done. This was just in the course of a day. What time in the morning did the head job finish up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNING?? i think Rich and i were the only ones kicking Sunday morning. I did the neighbors remote starter outside in the 22 degree HEATWAVE sunday a.m. while the rest of the clan slept. cant blame them, they were up kinda late for sure. the one thing that Doug didnt know about, was the festivities at the Silver Slipper Saloon the night before. so #8, stuffed a FEW bucks for some flesh in the face type rewards!

GMCtrk Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well, I'd just like to start out by thanking everyone again.....especially Brent for allowing my truck to sit and be worked on in his garage and Zippy for doing great work . Zippy is a true professional and I don't feel like I could have had anyone better working on my car anywhere. Also thanks to the miscellaneous other people who helped (can't remember names!). The truck drove home beautifully and just flat out goes on the highway with the slightest throttle input, and goes up any hill effortlessly. Also, my gas mileage went back to what it should be thankfully. I always hand calculate my gas mileage so I have a good idea of what it gets. The tuned stock 6.0 and 3.42s would get over 23 on the highway. However, on the way here with 4.10s I only got 14 mpg. I think that exhaust leak at the head was wreaking havoc on my 02 sensor. On the way home I got 20mpg, even with a couple bursts up past 100. I'm very happy with that. Hopefully we can do this again sometime.
