I got all excited and looked it up. Why is it called turkey drag if no turkey or on drag racing? I went last year and they wanted 10 bucks a person so i left. Not really my crowd.

i have no clue where the name originates. maybe since its alot of lowered trucks?

i had a good time there last year. its mostly slammed trucks with very few 4x4s.

which i love both equally.

i'm gonna try & get it to the whataburger cruise night as well. i live right by it & have never been.

bbbc10 · 10-28-2011, 10:29 PM

hope u get it runing..im try to get my motor in so i can take mine

85burb · 10-28-2011, 11:03 PM

I have missed the last few due to work. I made quite a few of them. I usaually drive the burb. They wont let me in but i dont really want to park there. We need to get all the swap trucks together around here one day.

thanks man!

85burb · 10-29-2011, 05:25 PM

I have never really tryed to go in but when i drive buy the entrance the guy that blocks the entrance always stands in the way like he is blocking me. It has too much rust to park in there anyway.

kSStamp0182 · 11-12-2011, 10:21 PM

SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!

thank y'all! its been a long road up to this point

but it went pretty smooth! only took about 5 start attempts which i think is damn good

1st time my feed fuel line to the filter/reg was leaking, tightened it up & it was all good.

2nd time turned the key on & got power but no start. did some digging and found the starter solenoid was no good. and of course you cant JUST buy the solenoid. so $200 later we're on to attempt...

3. hit the key and the battery is to low now to turn it over

4. swapped in another battery from our '87 442 (800 CCA

) turned key and we had start but no fire.
dug some more & found the 12V switched wire for my PCM was flat lining when i turned the key to start position. switched the wire to a slot with 12V with key on and start position

5. hit the starter and she fired right up. drove every dog around here nuts. great way to end a saturday tho!

85burb · 11-13-2011, 10:49 AM

I also had to get new starter. Mine would spin but not push the gear out to turn flywheel. I think the ls starters are gold inside. Mine started on first try but my carb was already full of fuel from the drive over to swap. But shortly died cause i had my fuel pump switch off. Could not get it to start for noting. Then i realized what happened.

mcbassin · 11-13-2011, 12:25 PM

Congratulations on getting it running! Cool deal running the dogs off

harnalien · 11-13-2011, 04:45 PM

Now the fun really starts!

kSStamp0182 · 11-19-2011, 07:34 PM

got some more done today.

got a stock upper rad hose for a 01 2500. fit great, used a flexible one on the bottom. (LS1 Radiator if i haven't mentioned).

ALSO, did the XJ intermediate steering shaft mod an WOW what a dramatic decrease in steering wheel play. wasn't sure if it would work well with a 2WD but it fit great. well worth the $31 i got in it

cant wait to try it out on the street!!! its too dark to get pics now but ill try & have some up in the AM.

got my Lokar shift linkage installed as well.

now just waiting on one of my U-joints to come in and electric fan pigtails.

she'll be road ready very soon!!

kSStamp0182 · 01-10-2012, 01:25 PM

got the electric fans and cooling system all up an running, shes basically ready to hit the road!

i will be getting the exhaust done soon, dual magnaflows, completely real and legal catalytic convertors

with no crossover. i think it should sound pretty sweet.

i also picked up a 9.5" 6 lug 14 bolt i decided to go with so ill never have to worry about it, planning a disk brake & trutrac install with Caltracs.

& ive got a 10.5" rear and a 12 bolt im selling btw if anyones interested.

aggie91 · 01-10-2012, 03:48 PM
