2010 Fast Memorial Meet

Re: 2010 Fast Memorial Meet

What a Great time!!
This was my first SyTy Memorial Day Picnic.
The people were very friendly, the food was awesome, and they made me feel at home.
Kids and Adults took advantage of the Bounce House and Water Slide..
I had driven 4 hours, towing a 24’ trailer, but it was worth every minute.
Talk about a SyTy knowledge base, just listening to these guys talk about their trucks was amazing.
There wasn’t anything these guys didn’t know about these trucks.
Upon arrival, my 93 Green Typhoon with 70k miles was not running, I had to winch it in the trailer.
First thing, SYO237 and Harmon helped me relocate my ECM and the Ostrich to the glove box.
It was lunchtime, Ribs, Pulled Pork, Beans, Slaw and dessert, way too much food.
MRKING manned the laptop and started installing the needed software, then downloaded a “Bin” file
I had a few issues with my vacuum hoses; sytyarchives jumped in and replumbed everything.
I highly recommend their vacuum hose kit, it was high quality.
Unfortunately, the rain delayed things alittle, but it gave us more time to shoot the bull about our cars.
It started getting dark, but that didn’t stop the guys from working on my truck, they were determined to get my car started.
They broke out the lights and kept going, then I heard with sweetest sound, my car idling on its own.
I was able to drive my car in the trailer. Major accomplishment!!!
At one point, Harmon invited me to stay over and he would start tuning the next day, how awesome was that. I have a couple issues that surfaced including a “small” exhaust leak and wiring.

I will attending next year’s picnic for sure, and would highly recommend it to others. It was a Great time!
Thanks for everything
Ross

You where correct gary!....it was the ignition module. he got to drive his ty with some real powa for the first time. Poor guy walked around with wood until his near death experience.

trailer is fine........dan might be buyin you a new jack though...it still works but a little bent. I checked over the whole trailer before i let mandi tow it down there.

Gary has yet to be proven wrong when it comes to issues with my Ty.:tup:
I cant believe how much power it has (still keeping it under 60 & 3K rpm for the break in).
"Near Death Experience" is an understatement, my life flashed before my eyes.:tdown:
There must be a GOD...:squint: how else could I explain how a 1987 TOYota truck stopped 5000 lbs. of runaway steel (no trailer brake hook up on the truck) DOWN HILL. Fortunately the trailer never came of the hitch:roll:.
I replaced the original trailer jack with a 5000 lbs. rated unit and 2 of trailer side marker lights.
Once again I can not express my deepest gratitude to all those who helped me as well as those who offered to help. Your kindness will not be forgotten.
F.A.S.T for LIFE!!!:rock:
