Who's coming early to the DBBB Pre-event? I assume we can do the BBQ on sunday.

I will have my smoker working hard to knock out plenty of ribs for everyone.

First!

You're second , I'm already there ...lol

Sunday the 23rd...i'm in. Let me know what to bring.

I got my computer controlled smoker with atleast 4 slabs of ribs and I will bring a second grill. You guys can bring hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage , and so on.

Other items I can bring if no one volunteers:

1) drinks - soda / water
2) chips
3) plates and utensils
4) a table .. some chairs

Replacing the fuel pump, spark plugs, and coil packs on my
F150 Saturday... If all goes well I'll try and make it.

If your truck is a 5.4 between about 2003 - 2006, I strongly recommend you not try to change the plugs at this time. Wait until after the event. It usually doesn't go well if they've never been changed before.

Feel free to email or U2U me for more details.

hey guys
god i wish i could be there. miss the gang down there. it won`t be the same with out AJ boy do i miss him.
hey dave

shes loves it. my old 1930 chevy is doing ok. put it away for the winter.
hope you guys have good winds and a great time.

Dave,

It's a 2002 and I did em once before. Keeps sputtering and misfiring, especially in the 40-50 mph speed range.

Most likey the fuel pump hold off on coil packs

hey taper
one more thing try and get a motorcraft fuel pump.
i seen aftermarket ones go bad after a year or two.

On way back from lunch today check engine light came on. 0171 and 0174. This morning it cranked fine, but would not strat... turned the key off and on a couple times and started normally... Really think the fuel pump is on it's last legs. Need it to start two more times.... :o

Good luck let me know what happens
Be careful around gas I seen garages burn down
Working on fuel pumps with drop lights

Unlike the bbq Van is cooking on Sunday... that would be a Car-B-Que!

"Keeps sputtering and misfiring, especially in the 40-50 mph speed range. "

Coils can cause that too, but the 171 and 174 are lean codes. ie lack of fuel generally. Changed the fuel filter lately? Otherwise, yeah, it's the pump.

Have a helper crank the engine over while you bang on the bottom of the tank to get it to start that one last time... if you're lucky.

Hey Glenn! Yeah, we talked shortly after y'all got hitched (still in my U2U). That's really great. So did you get your buddies car built too?

Pulled the bed and changed out the pump, strainer, and fuel filter. Ran good for the test drive... Now to finish the project so I can make it to the bbq

I'll see you all there tomorrow morning as well as Thursday. I'm just worried that my FWD car may get stuck in the sand trying to park considering it just rained today. Either I park far up north in that developing neighborhood or I'll pray that one of you has a 4X4 handy to pull me out. :p

Should be down at SLP in the am (10:30-11:00ish)
Weather forecast : 80 degrees sunny sw 15 to 20
Van and family, Mark and his wife, Jeremiah, Steve Mc, Sier_Pinski, Laura and myself, are some that are committed for tomorrow . Anyone else chime in .... See y'all at the playa....:bouncing:

Where you at Susan?

I am not going to make it this year. Eat some fryed turkey for me.

Susan (npw goddess)

The Wednesday Gang should be getting the same winds we had on Sunday. Plenty of sun also. Let us know how yee did.
