    the oilfield

    50 bucks an hour is pretty rough if you have to pay for your own truck, gear etc. I could be out to lunch, but I'm pretty sure Rig Welders that had their own Rocket were getting paid 90 some buck an hour, 4-10's shift by MSI Willbros up in McMurray. They didn't have to provide anything else...

    Fastest time on a PPE hot + 2 e.t.

    Fast greek, whats up with that? I ran a 13.51 with a 1.85 60'. My truck is lifted on 35" tires and weighed 8100 pounds when I raced. Do you still have your 4094 on? I don't know much about the PPE programmers but I ran a PPE standard on my truck, I think it went up to level 5. It sucked so...

    who would win?

    I would bet on the mustang. Big tires really kill ya.

    smokes at idle

    Installed an intake? Maybe its an oiled type and fouled up the MAF sensor? You could try cleaning the MAF sensor with electrical contact cleaner. My next guess would be an injector. My truck smokes when its cold, but once it warms up it doesn't. Also, it will only smoke if ambient temps are...

    ARB Locker for AAM 11.5 finally released!

    Nobody would use this for daily driving would they? Seems like it would be a pain to flick the switch on and off all the time while your driving around. What about just putting one in the front? Seeing as my G80 locker works just fine in the back.

    1054 converter ?

    Mike hooked my truck up with a Precision converter. I haven't driven any trucks with any different converters so I my experience is limited. This thing is good though. My truck has 35" tires and it seems to get on the turbo nicely. It was installed early in 2007, not sure if anything has...

    single cp3

    I think so. I wish I could dyno my truck to see where its at... I could be optimistic and say peak hp might be in the 550 region. I've got a stock CP3 with stock regulator. HTT turbo though.

    Info: Duramax Valve Lash Tutorial.

    I did mine as 2500heavyduty had mentioned. And mine was quieter after as well. It was really easy to adjust, rotate 360 and adjust the rest. Is there advantages of doing it the other ways mentioned?

    The Blackout

    I took the tailgate off and the front right headlight out... Besides that, I had about 200 pounds of garbage rolling around in cab. I had a full tank of fuel. I weighed in at the gregoire lake/Anzac weigh station a few weeks back at 81XXlbs. So add about 100 pounds because of extra junk I had...

    Racing Thermostats:

    ... In all honesty, how much thought, design/engineering and quality parts went into the 6.5? It was built at a time when there were plenty of other diesel motors on the market that had far more reliability and power output... so what is that motor really about? I think its a bad idea to...

    The Blackout

    I forgot to mention that it has a suncoast stage 3 and a precision converter. I forget whats all changed in this thing. No more EGR, FPRV shim, Billet fuel pickup, LB7 post CAC piping and intake... I dunno. The tune I ran had a 3300us pulse width and I think hit a max of about 30 degrees...

    Sleeves VS 37"s

    I did some launches at the track and the went nicely. I did exactly what LBZ mentioned above, dropped the T bars completely out then cranked them back up so they were snug. On a 10psi launch, it tracked straight and to be honest wasn't even that noticeable it was in 4x4. There is a HUGE...

    The Blackout

    I've got TTS lift pumps:cool: And an HTT turbo. And tuning by me... well my race tune was entirely by me. RenoDMAX had helped me with some street tunes. She might run a bit faster if I could get off the line better, who knows. Maybe I'll go again some day! He called my truck a dodge...:confused:

    Vid of my Drag Race

    Thanks, it was my first time actually racing something at the drag strip. It was a ton of fun. I would like to do it more, just don't know if my truck would like it haha. Oh, and ya, it was a 13.516 @ 99.75mph. The GMC in the right lane went 13.50 @ 92.38mph It was bracket racing and I dialed...

    Racing Thermostats:

    I wasnt picking at anything. All I was stating was that, for the people who inquired about daily driving, that its a possibility it wouldn't work as described in that situation. Sometimes people don't have experience with the way cooling systems react to things. Thought I would be able to share...

    Racing Thermostats:

    One thing to watch out for on a daily driver or a unit that is going to be run for a longer period of time is overheating. With a lower temp thermostat, it will open earlier, and over a given period of time the coolant will circulate more. Not sure about the duramax, but I know in lots of other...

    The Blackout

    There is way more high perf duramax's than I would have ever guessed. It was awesome. I felt quite unprepared though haha. Maybe after this winter I will bring the truck down and rebuild the motor. I'll start a savings plan right now haha.

    The Blackout

    I only saw Simon run once... looked like he red lighted and then for whatever reason his time didn't show up on the board... if I had to take a guess I'd say its in the 11.00 region though. I got some vids of my run. Also got a vid of the jet car and also of the Dirtymax running. They are...
