PDR Dyno Day

[Cliffman]

Sounds like a good time. Wish I could have made the trip

I would also like to thank Piers and the whole crew at PDR, everyone put in at least 2 long days to prepare for this event. I would say there were more trucks than I expected for a 1 day dyno event, I am sure there were over 125 trucks. I had a great time and it was nice to see everyone again.



Two weeks and Tulare... ...

My bad..... Nevermind what I said - Jason, I got you confused with BBD (I think) - the truck that was on the PDR website that just had a COMPLETE 'makeover'.



Even so - that's an insane amount of power - especially seeing how miles are on the old properly valved 6BT.

I want to thank ALL the hard working folks at PDR... what a class act !!

Piers you have a Great way of of saying HOWDY to all !!

As those of you that showed up must realize, it must have taken a lot of effort to plan and organize such a big event.



Piers and his crew really didn't want to see the Sleepy Hauler show up on a flatbed at 1 o'clock on Thursday with a blown clutch. They were in full prep mode and were trying to get their last "emergency" customer out the door so they could clean the shop.



After hearing my tale of woe, they found another SB clutch for me, ripped the old one out, installed/tested the new one and even fixed a pesky oil leak. I was home by 6 o'clock!



I must say however that I was worried at one point. Piers came back from a parts run at 2:30 and announced that he had stripped 3rd gear in his truck. At that point, my transmission was sitting on a stand looking very very available. He decided, however, that he had time to fix his before the next day. So at one point while everyone was trying to clean up around them, there were two trucks up on the hoists without transmissions.



By the way, how much Hp do you need to strip a gear that size?



What can you say about that kind of service? Piers, Louise and crew, thanks again, you're the greatest!

Would you care to post your dyno technique

Gene,

Just gently push the go pedal about 1/2 way down and... ... .





OK I can't do it even to you, if your not worried about your toes being cut off by the fan, denting the floor board under the go pedal, or breaking off the back of the seat your NOT pushing hard enough

And did you forget my bumper/grill gap filler?

You said you would call, for me to just to get the measurements so that is where it got left. course now if you call I hope I can find the measurements.

 

[Sled Puller]

Is that how it was left?

Piers kept telling me not to bother you, that you had more important things to do... ... .

Well, look for those measurments if you get a chance!
