Duramaxzak 2.6 pulling truck build

[quadracer37]

Garrett has Hart's 6 blade compressor wheel copied and being duplicated by a Chinese company, but are holding together well and run equally well. I know a couple locals running those chargers.

SMH, always hate to hear of Chinese knockoffs on good 'ol american made and developed product..



We build a few sheet metal 20-145 rear ends using advanced center housing. one setup was "bolt in" by customer request and the housing twisted after a dozen hooks. after speaking with advanced they noted it was very important to brace the top of the center section back to the frame (up and forward) to keep them from twisting. the several others we built were all welded in solid and have been flawless all season.

Finally got the pull truck out of storage to start working on it!

Not to many changes this year.

- Changing to a SQHD sheetmetal rear axle housing.
- Changing to 4.56 gears
- Adding another shock on each side up front.
- Working on removing weight from inside cab.

going back to the torsion bars?

No, just adding another double adjustable shock per side.

I wanted to add more control over the front end movement with out over stressing the coil over shocks. From this video you can see the front lift a lot when I got out of it a little and back on it.
