Was wondering how many members would be interested in a Missouri meet. Not sure how many we have here in MO.

I would be interested. :thumbs: I have always been curious as to how many members are in MO.

Looks like there is only the 2 of us? Surely there is more interested may be we should consider the surrounding states and get more involved with them. Anyways if anybody else is interested post and we will set something up.

Cool we are up to 3 now!! gm4X4 glad to see you’re interested! Any one else?? Do you guys have any ideas as to where, when and what you want to do? If nothing else it would be cool just to check out each others trucks and mods... I am open for suggestion.

 

Thanks,

Matt

It appears that we are all in the STL area. :lol: That makes it a little easier to pick a spot. We'll have to pick a nice day, probably a weekend, and get together. :thumbs: (hint) My schedule is kind of busy right now but I'm sure we can swing something. Sure would like to wash the truck first to get all of the MO road grime off of it. :dupe:

Hay look thay added location under are avatars. How cool, now if everyone would just set it up??

Not necessary 3 is enough pjb0422 suggested doing something here in STL sounds good to me. We just need to figure out what we want to do. I work nights but only during the week I rarely work weekends and am open for almost anytime. What fits your schedules?

Weekends would be the best for me, for now anyway :thumbs: Whenl the weather gets nicer, then I may be fishing.

 

We have St. Charles, Chesterfield, and Eureka. We could meet anywhere in Chesterfield Commons, on Hwy 94, Westport, someplace close to all of us.

 

Matt, where are you at in St. Charles? I'll probably be a Bass Pro next weekend when they start their Spring Fever Sale. :)

I live off 94 and Kisker and I work in Chesterfield. So Chesterfield is fine for me. I spend most of my summer camping, fishing and traveling. :thumbs:

Im from Kansas City. I just dont post much any more, since I sold my truck. But, there are about 5-6 KC guys on here as well. I can only think of SilveradoMan(Mike) and 96vortec(Jeff) right now. But, there are some others, you just have to find 'em.

I`m in! Pretty much any weekend we pick will be ok with me. I`d like to suggest Creve Couer park as a meeting place. The only problem with it is they don`t allow any :thumbs: since it`s a county park but it`s a really nice shady place.

Cool we are up to four--- fmjcafe, pjb0422, gm4x4 and me. I am cool with any where you all want to meet. I think that weekends are a given any one with a suggestion as to what weekend. It would be cool if we could do it some where we could hang out barbecue, drink and of course check out the trucks.

    • Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).
    • Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.
    • Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood. 
    • This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck
    • It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
