just curious how you think my truck will pull with the mods. I've been thinking of hitting the next fair pull around here. I feel an addiction starting :-laf
Well considering you have to have a 2. 8" turbo and at least 600rwhp to run anywhere near decent in our local "stock diesel" classes around these parts.
His setup is good for Nebraska but wouldnt be so hot out here.
Do yourself a favor:
1. Traction bars (diesel darryl on here makes a nice bolt on set for pulling)
2. Hang weight (eep sells what you need)
3. Block or re-enforce your suspension so you dont have too much travel... this will also save parts from breaking.
4. Get some big 200hp injectors. .
5. Get a "loose" torque converter (like ats sledpulling converter)
6. Get at least a 2. 8" turbo
7. lockers or limited slips help too.
8. oh get a tire that matches your track well. If they are loose/sandy get some mud terrains.
9. Reduce the front tire pressure
10. maintain rear rated pressure
11. get a good pulling hitch that is adjustable or is up around 26" and stationary.
12. valve springs and a cam wouldnt hurt.
13. run cetane boost.
If you follow this advice you could pretty well gaurantee yourself a win wherever you go in Nebraska. :-laf
wow. . that sounds like a lot of work. . I just wanted to hook once or twice for fun :-laf but I've heard there is no such thing as just one. Thanks for all the advice
:{ Pulled mine this year, had suspension blocked and chained and I have traction bars from (Greg Long Great guy!!)and it wasn’t cheap, :{ Rear yoke and U-Joint and some how cracked the transfer case cover?? :{ Don’t ask I don’t know. But now I have the bug and im selling some other toys to get some work done this winter. Things will be better next year!!:-laf
I don't know about pulling Todd, I've got the bug more for racing! Oh yea, I just a speeding ticket, remember. Who knows, maybe brandon will talk me into it. I also agree with it being nice to see other fellow Nebraskans chime in.
I like where this is going Yes I know I need all the suspension stuff and what not. I really am curious how it will pull. Chris... we should line up sometime... if you dare... . wreckless driver :-laf
Got-Torque, Brandon (bbodammer) and I are working on a get together for us Nebraska/Iowa guys. I'll keep you informed when we decide the time and date.
