    LBZ: Something is really f'd up now.

    So here's the story: a few months ago I limped my built trans, no big deal was gonna have my builder refresh it in February. Figured I could limp it through winter. So one day I get stupid and put it on tune 5, run it hard through the first 3 gears and my need for speed is satisfied for the time...

    LMM: Po261

    My brothers truck just threw this code today, never seen it before. Truck has 190k on it, all the basic mods a stock turbo stock fuel truck would have. If injector #1 is unplugged it runs super choppy like a lope tune. Any idea on what to check? I have searched all morning and can't find...

    Need help, I'm at my breaking point.

    I'm at my wits end with this truck. If I can't figure it out I'm seriously selling it and starting over. Seems like my probs started after going to the track a couple times earlier this year. I had a few launches that were very violent due too suspension issues. One person said my pass side...

    Help: Weird trans/tcase issue. 4lo popping out with po872

    Ok sorry if this gets long and boring. But I'm stumped and my builder is puzzled.

Last Thursday I...

    ? For work stock pullers

    I've decided to go back to 35's this year. I'm not a big time puller just the local brush pulls around the area. Most of the weight limits r around 8-8500lbs. I've upgrade the rear driveshaft to a 4" steel. My question is what should I b looking into being the next weak link? G80? Axels? Only...

    Fire damaged DMAX-would u buy?

    Found a DMAX/4l80e combo on Craigslist in my area. Good price. But fire damage on top of motor. Says its a 2007 with 10k on it. Isn't this a van motor? And my question is would it b worth buying? From the pics it looks like the turbo is in tact but I can't make out much more than that. Would the...

    Finally made my first pass in the truck

    So Ive made tons of passes in my old 63 impala(sold) and my 77 vega. But never have raced my truck. I've sled pulled for a few years now. I think in this area most guys don't try to dd/race/pull their truck. They have dedicated trucks. But I finally made 2 passes at gateway on Tuesday. I think...

    Some roll pan action

    On Friday the 13th in January my truck got hit in the drivers bedside by a 90 year old guy that has no business driving. So I grabbed a roll pan from wayne(flyinelvis) and had the devil fixed up. I think it turned out good especially since I've been hit twice in that bedside and had it...

We pulled in freeburg il last night and I got 4th in the open diesel class and figured what the heck, I will pull in the gas/diesel challenge. Had a good run going too, then my driveshaft...

    New numbers

    We had a small dyno day at a local shop. Don't know alot about dynos honestly. Pretty much for fun and bragging rights within our small circle. Lol. Truck made 535.5/1050.3. I'm happy with it. They had a 1/4 mile simulator also but it was a joke. It said I ran a 14.3 @ 99. Can't wait for the...

    Is this turbo worth buying?

    Schwitzer 4HLR, guy says it came off a cummins of some sort. T6 ped. The picture on craigslist shows this turbo being as big as a trash can. Just kinda wondering if it's worth a shit or not.

    HD trucks on top gear

    Hey just in case anybody is interested, I caught the preview for Sunday's top gear on history and they r thrashing a ford, GM, and dodge heavy duty truck. Crew cab long bed 4x4's(assuming diesels). Pulling two train engines, pulling a house down, and racing them. Looks kinda cool. My dvr is set!
