    Let's go for the 24rd at my house. That will give us time to get the gaskets and bolts..I count three of us that want to clean the IC. I was going to get my parts from NDEBT. Do you want me to order several sets? How many are in for sure?

    We can do other things as well

    FYI, I live in Murphy---just down from Southfork Ranch

    Venom, I chose Sunday in case you want to venture this way.

    you dont need gaskets and bolts to clean the IC guys....

    only gasket and bolts that need to be replaced are the bolts that hold the IC to the midplate and the gasket between the two...and you dont have to seperate them if you clean the IC....


    Just FYI..

    stew is right (as usual!)
    no replacement parts needed, just a bunch of carb/choke cleaner!
    Figure 2 cans for a fairly clean IC, 4-6 for a 70K+ miles/no separator unit.

    I'm in for the 24th. It'll be early afternoon before I can make it though. I'm working midnights now so I'll try to get a few hours of sleep first. Just let me know what to bring besides carb cleaner.

    Wow, great idea guys. I have almost 80K miles on my truck and haven't cleaned it. I am guessing that I really need to. Truck does feel a little sluggish lately. I might attempt it, this weekend. Fuzion how is that spring holding up?

    You sure we will have room and time to do many of these? Where is this going to be at again, where is Murphy? Where can I get the parts I need?

    I sure would love to get mine cleaned and some new plugs in but I have to be in Tuscon that weekend


    Anyways, just do it at Venoms place, he's got tons of room for a mod part I think?

    no parts needed, just a few cans of carb cleaner per truck
    pulling the blower is really pretty easy, just take your time.
    a 3/8" swivel socket adapter makes pulling the blower easier.

    Good time to do plugs while you're at it too with the blower out of the way.
    My stock plugs had opened up to a big enough gap to put a nickel in after 42K miles!
    if you decide to do plugs too, a 1/4" swivel and several long 1/4" extensions make life easier for the coil pack bolts.

    My place is always open to you guys
    covered parking for at least 4 trucks at a time, 5 or 6 if we push dad's 55 chevy bel aire out of the way

    Russ Dogg, Blown5point4 and I are coming from the west side of DFW. 1.5 hours to Murphy or 2.5 hours to Abilene... doesn't make much difference to me.

    What ever is most convenient for everyone else.
