Nice pass Jim, good to see you have it out!

Does Huckstorf run a massive charger? He spools for longer than i used too before we fixed mine.

I think this may of been a different charger so i am not sure. the last one was about the same on spool up time. I am no expert but looks like a lot of fuel. I couldn't sit still that long it would drive me nuts.
I am happy with my truck for now just a week ago all i wanted was to go down the track but after last night i am thinking bigger injectors,cp,water inject.........wouldn't it be easier to just light our money on fire.

Yeah, but it doesn't stay on fire long and you would be searching for more!

Have any ideas about why your truck is so squirrelly Jim? Sure seems to be making good power, but it sure looks like it's a somewhat organized chaotic dance down the track! :rofl: How's your rear hitch setup? Think it's planting the rear hard enough? lifting the front too much?



Is the OBS chevy a dmax? It didn't sound like a chummins to me in this latest video? :confused:

Going to take a close look at everything this week. I am running a drawbar for a hitch. I was told to restrict the hydraulic line going to my steering valve so the steering wasn't so quick but i don't think that is the problem. We have the toe in set in about 1/4'' not sure if it should be in more.

Take that restrictor out. Make it as quick as possible. I want to say from lock to lock in my old truck was only about 1 1/2 turns total. It looks like you are turning that wheel a lot in the cab and the truck just is not responding. Playing with the toe will also net you some results too.
