I've got to tell you, I love watching you're videos but you sure can break some stuff :-laf

I've got to tell you, I love watching you're videos but you sure can break some stuff :-laf

I second that!

 

[Bobcat698]

I second that!

I'm telling you guys, give me an "unbreakable" part and I'll take care of it for you!

The words "sledpulling" and "unbreakable" dont belong on the same thread... :-laf



Darn that SLEDPULLING!!

Darn that SLEDPULLING!!

BTW on the bright side I pulled 3 inches!



I was really looking forward to getting that new turbo put on, too :{



Its just not the same putting it on and sitting in the driveway revving it :-laf

Which charger are you going to run?

Which charger are you going to run?

The new “Pro Street 66” by High Tech Turbo.



Basically same turbo I have now except the turbine side has been reworked and the turbine wheel is 2. 8" up from 2. 53 inches.

 

[jwilliams3]

Ahh sort of like the 70mm turbine II uses on the their "super" series... .

That should definitely help you get the air out up top.

Wish you were there! Now I have to figure out how to get my video loaded. But... wish you were there to compete too. :-laf

 

[GOT-Torque]

As if one or two reasons isn't enough!



Has anyone ever tried to put the later transfer case (3rd gen) into their 2nd gen truck? The 271/273 models are quite a bit heavier and are rated for more torque. I wonder if it would be a simple swap? I've seen and heard of quite a few people cracking their case on a 2nd gen pulling with it.

Dang Sony Handycam is broken -- won't let me transfer any of my IRP or Stoneboro vids to disk/computer. Can't get a "Make VCD" selection -- apparently the programming in the Handycam is all fubar.



Off to BestBuy to raise hell since they're going to try the "must return w/i 14 days of purchase" BS on me.

Do you think anything should be done with the Tcase? I mean is it worth welding or fixing considering my application. . It is a DLD. . I was thinking maybe buy a new cover for it and sell it?

IS that a crossdrilled greasable Ujoint I see?? Garrett, Garrett shame on you!

Goerends put it in when they did the transmission. . Never gave it a second thought... It broke the yoke too so it doesn't really matter anyways :-laf

 

[zstroken]

True, but probably the ujoint failed, which cause the yoke to fail, which broke your rear driveshaft, which broke your transfer case, which caused you to miss Stoneboro!!

I am sure Dave was thinking longevity on the ujoint, that is why he put it in. He didn't know you were going to abuse your truck so much.

Thanks alot Dan, I appreciate you making my day so much better. :{

My GF thought it was hilarious though.

 

[zstroken]

DId you fix your gages yet?

 

[Bobcat698]

DId you fix your gages yet?

No sir. . all I did was pull the turbo, the batteries, & the tcase so far. . Haven't had time to troubleshoot much else.

I think the driveshaft tube failed first.



Garrett, you broke it right. No sense in half ***ing it. Have to make it worth your time, you know.



Still sucks though.
