NeverEasy Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Deb and I had a great time. Thanks Carl, Donna, and all the presenters. Kim, if you see this, your team makes this rally all that more enjoyable. We had to leave early for another event but enjoyed our time there. Weather put a damper on a lot of maintenance but there was a hood or two open. I always learn something new at the rallies. We left too early to fill out a comment sheet. I went to the website but could not locate a place for 2018 input/comments so I will put mine here. The info for the newbies is great and should continue. For those of us who have heard them more than once, we need something for the established truck owners. I will PM Carl and Steve D with my suggestion.

rickeieio Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 So, did this rally actually happen? Is there any photographic evidence? Folks who didn't make it want to know what they missed.

Av8r3400 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'll echo the comments about having a lot of fun and really enjoying the rally experience. We met many nice people, who I hope to count as new friends in the real world rather than just the forum community. We look forward to coming again next year and hope to add the national rally next year also.

Nigel Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 rickeieio It did happen but I think it was too cool to work the cameras. Here is a couple of pics of some of the vintage iron that was here. The last picture is not with the group but a local who camps here often.

It was good to meet you, Al yes, was the voltage doubler on the transmission. I ordered the part from the place Big5ver found for 1/3 the price of the dealer. All good to go. I had them change the fluids and filters while they were at it too. Oil, and all fuel filters for $75 cheaper than Speedco. I did have a hydraulic line on the levelers on the trailer get a pinhole. Ground wire burnt and was touching the hydraulic line. Bigfoot is sending me all new replacement parts to fix. 2003 International Eagle 9200i, Cummins ISX, Freedomline 2007 Teton Scottsdale XT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
