Who's 54 Fargo Town Panel, 4x4, Cummins Diesel is this?

Yes I am nuts

Well folks, May Madness has come and gone and we are still analyzing everything we saw there. Lots of great memories.



I thought I'd post our experiences with MADDOG's F350.



First some background. Richard had pretty well taken the PSD engine as far as it would go and he recognized it wasn't standing up to the Cummins powered vehicles at the dyno events. So he started to flirt with the idea of replacing the V8 with a I 6.



Next thing you know the V8 was sent off to a local Ford dude to install in his rig and Richard began to assemble his newly acquired 12v motor. The plan was to run a lot of fuel and burn it with the finest twin system available.



The head got ported, a aftermarket cam was installed, I provided the twin system, and a stupid pump was the finishing touch. I was pretty opptimistic, but we were still blown away with how much power this engine made and how low the egt's were. In the first week two input shafts were shapped! Later a third was busted.



While at MM the truck dynoed at 572 with a aftermarket set of injectors. On Friday Richard installed the Performance Diesel race injectors I brought with me and he prepared to redyno. This time the big monster was REAL happy and cranked out 690 horsepower which was good for a trophy in his class.



What a success story this is for MADDOG. I can't tell you how well this turbo/pump/injector combo works.
 
YEPP...... THATS MY BOY!!!!!!

Richard has really done good, taken the PSD to the limit and now trying something new.



The only thing I think I would have changed, was instead of going to the 12 valve, would have been to stuff a





FIRE-BREATHING 6. 9 IDI









:--) :--) :--) ;) ;) ;)

















into the big old crew cab... ... ... ... .

Super F650

Big Jake, you gotta get Richard to take you for a ride in that thing. He says there's nothing like it once the converter locks in OD and the turbos get up to full song. That's where he's been snapping the input shafts.



Richard sounds interested in getting out here for one of our valley sled pulls. It would be cool to see the truck in competition.



With the power he's making and the long wheelbase of his CC, I don't see how he can be beat.
 
I would definitely settle for a ride in the upgraded F350, on my old locked up 'puter , I have a promise from Richard to let me test drive his truck.



But that was back in the days when he was trying to upgrade the PSD.





Think I will just wait for Tulare, and just let Richard cart me around town with his new 6 banger



. ;) ;) ;)

Last night the "95 CC was at Rocky Mountain Raceway for a little drag racing. Being the first time on the track for this rig Richard put up a 12. 80 on the windshield. What happened next surprised everybody, even though we know that engine rips! When he got the time slip it read 11. 99 @ 115 mph!!!:--)





That's absolutely amazing for a 7500 lb truck that spans a city block:D Tonight the truck goes to a sled pull, we'll see if the gassers have anything for him.
