How did it turnout? Results?

Dan Painter won (of course; lol; yes -- I'm jealous). If Dan's there... game over.



My pull stunk the place up and not in a good diesel way. Way under powered. Dyno'd Saturday at Floor-It (smartest thing we've done in a long time). We did several runs testing settings and my computer settings were off enough to cause a 100hp loss. Different comp settings for +100hp.



Somethings not working right in my engine costing another xxxhp -- we think the injectors are all messed up. My last 2 pulls have been at stock power. ROFL. I'll post some info as soon as we figure out exactly what's hosing my engine.

Did a maroon D-max (flatbad with stacks) pull? I wasn't able to make it and I heard he got third. He has been dominating all the local pulls down here in SE Nebraska. He also got first at the pull on Saturday night in Johnson NE.

 

[TJarecke]

He placed in the top 5 I think. Maybe 4th or 5th. Don't quote me on that but I think he was up there close. I had never even seen the truck before, or the white dodge from the same area.

Maybe they will come to Wahoo, NE in a couple weeks?

 

[GOT-Torque]

2001 D-max is Tom Georges from Barrada, NE. White dodge (12 Valve) is Eric Froeschl from Falls City, NE. They usually put on the show at the local pulls, always within a couple of feet of each other. However, Eric has broken something at about every pull this year. Driveshaft, rear end, transfer case, etc, etc. I heard Eric ran first to set the sled and went about 380'. On his second run he waited too long to let the clutch out and hit 5000 rpm and got to bouncing real bad.



Eric wasn't at the Johnson pull, but a black D-max with 6 county plates ran good only losing to Tom by 10 feet or so.



The next pulls I know of are in Pickeral (sp?), Adams, & Falls City. I'll have to check on the dates.

 

[GWoody]

Is there someone that can post all of the pullers and distances? I think I was around 10th or so and would like to know.

 

[jhurst]

hey Gwoody, was that you at the dyno day at floor it in a black mega cab?

 

[TJarecke]

Eric did run first and did very well. When he came back in the 10th position he pulled around 270.

The Wahoo pull is the 5th of Aug. I will post rules here when I get the total run down.

GOT-Torque did you get your stacks on?

 

[jhurst]

It was nice talking to you at the dyno TJarecke. I only put down 450. 5hp. I think I am going to try some different injectors first thing.

 

[GWoody]

hey Gwoody, was that you at the dyno day at floor it in a black mega cab?

Yeah, we pulled the black dually the night before and dynoed it at Johns.

 

[TJarecke]

JHurst, I was wondering if you were able to run again later. What did you change?

Good luck on the injectors. Finding the right set can be difficult.

 

[jhurst]

yeah i ran again. tried a different comp box and still same problem.

 

[TJarecke]

Thanks for posting the pics.

 

[GOT-Torque]

Yea, got the stacks installed. I need to get some pics taken and post them on here. The miter cuts were backordered so I picked up some used turnouts from a local truck shop. Much easier to keep track of how much smoke is rollin' this way. I like the look and the sound is unbelievable! It is much louder in the cab with the windows down or running above 65mph though However, I just bought a really expensive muffler, it is supposed to reduce the noise quite a bit, it says "HT3B" on the side

 

[Tourqamata]

Hey guys that was one awsome show @ the fair. I have never been to a truck pull before and I just got to say that made me proud to be a Dodge Cummins owner. A lot of my freinds are Ford owners and they did not have much to brag on that nite Anyway just wanted to say that was cool.
