What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?
Interesting 2 days I had. Yesterday Loaded some wood up from a grocery store for a bonfire at friends house. Ended up setting half the yard on fire. His parents weren't very happy especially since they just put down new grass seeds.
Then my friend challenged me against his Toyota land cruiser. My truck was tearing it up and making him look bad. Well until I hit the sand of course.....
Ended up getting stuck in the sand.Even with the tires aired down to 10 psi the truck would barely move. Put it in 4x4 and that didn't do anything. Guess dodges don't do good in sand? Anyways after 2 hours of burning my tires trying to get unstuck and literally making them so bald that the wires were showing. Decided to stop by Disco tire and get some new ones.
And thats what I did to my Ram Today and Yesterday. I'll remember never to touch sand again until I get a winch.

All you can hear in the video is turbo's, and since we both have 2, yes. Exhaust note is somewhat different in person, but they are both rotary pump mechanically injected 5.9 Cummins' (Jig's vp44 is essentially an updated/modernized electronically controlled version of my injection pump).

No pics of the yard on fire? Shame....
Yah I wish I had of got a pic of the fire and when I roasted my tires bald. At the fire we were to busy grabbing the water hose moving the vehicles and grabbing the fire extinguishers.Since the flame was getting higher and the embers were starting to fly into the tree beyond the property fence line. The last thing we wanted was another Arizona wildfire.

Thanks 
thanks
maybe I'll get around to cleaning/fixing my map sensor and APPS and run it again...though my APPS issue has been hit and miss...seems to only happen when my PS is pissing fluid everywhere when fixed it doesn't happen...so maybe it just got wet?
I'll run it on DDP's dyno though just so I get a more accurate comparison between the 150hp injectors and the current injectors since the 150s were dyno'ed on DDP's dyno..

Nice numbers, Jig, Wombat.
Wish I could dyno my 76....
Nice idle, redneck, sounds dirty.
If nothing changes, doing a parts run tomorrow to get fluid, filter, and a disconnect tool. I have a feeling I'll have to wait a day for the filter as I don't think it's a stock item at the store.

Wombat and Jig -- You guys rocked that shiat! Very cool to see those numbers from clean rigs. 
dman -- no matter if aired down or not, getting down to the frame rails, which is probably what happened, will not free you up.
Some basic things to bring for the sand even though a winch is still not a 100% guarantee; shovel, wood like blocks, high lift jack, tow strap.
When/if you get a winch and you go in sand, you'll need a pull pal.
Note to self -- not hangin with you when fire is involved.
lol
