2015 ppl 2.6 rules

Thanks, but your still missing my point here every wonder why none of the top ppl sled pullers are on here bitxhing, complaining about rules on the internet whether its here or Facebook is not going to fix anything for you or the org.

LOL

When you pull for the "house" team, there's no problems, nothing needs fixing, you'll be taken care of......all good in the hood....access to all the best turbos and technology....intimate knowledge of what can be snuck through tech, etc. Life of a baller!!

LOL I can't believe you even typed that!

LOL, come on that would never happen. I wouldn't believe it my self, until I saw it.
 
My understanding is 2016 will be ODL not just open rear.

And I disagree on ODL being the most expensive part of a 3.0 truck. ODL can be done for less than 10k. What does a fully built auto cost? 6-7k?

To me, when you account for the time it takes to fab and fit everything with an ODL it all it is the biggest part in jumping to 3.0. Why would you go through all the trouble of ODL and not just go to 3.0 at that point so you can use the driveline.
I'm going to disagree that a complete ODL setup will be less than 10K once it's all said and done. About the cheapest I've heard on just the rear end around here is 7K. And the cost of an automatic is invalid to me because they are in a great minority. All you need is a clutch and an input for 2.6.
I'm also not sure where this 2016 ODL talk started coming from because all of my sources haven't heard of it.

PPL compliant organization meeting not three weeks ago. As stated earlier, PPL will make decisions based on what is best for PPL, not the pullers.

The real solution would be for the smaller/local organizations to use a different set of rules than PPL, but it is too late now.

Making brackets for a drop box isn't hard or expensive.

A stock heavy ODL rear axle could be had for very cheap. Lots of pullers out there use them. We could go back and forth on this forever. The lighter and more narrow you want the axle the more $ it costs.

I do agree the odl stuff can be costly if we caLL the "big" stores and tell them to send me everything I need for odl. But on the flip side it can be done rather cheap with very little work. I have $1700 in a sqhd with 4 alum wheels and I would bet my hub and wheel setup isn't any heavier than the big name stuff. You won't break stock axles and my setup is narrow enough to fit in enclosed. As far as drop box and reveser I have less than 4k in it including new reveser shafts couplings, used drop box and five sets of gears. As for time we pulled the nv4500 out on a Thursday afternoon and pulled odl that Friday night including fabing new driveshafts and working a 8 hour job on Friday morning ha. As for Turbo rules ya'll are own your own. We like what our org has done and plan on keeping it that way. With all that said I hope to see your truck go ODL and trust me it is so much nicer I would never want to work on another truck with oem stuff in it.

A built auto does not cost 6-7k. I run one and have been over 1000hp for 2 years and still running the same parts that we first built it with. Prolly gonna go another 2 more years before we change parts! Hell at that we didnt even change the oil in it once this season (over 20 hooks) and it still looks and smells the same as when it went in! Its the same as the ODL. If you pay someone it will cost that much. If you do it your self it is about half that!! But we also dont shift gears so that could be what is helping us!
 
No bar or terra tires. What are terra tires?

Look like a tractor tire but short for a small piece of equipment. Like what's on a ditch witch.


Why would they leave height of the head out of the 3.0 rule but put the other stuff?

Because valve angle measuring is way easier!
Also - what is the no hitch "adjusters" rule all about? They want y'all to weld the damn thing in solid and not be able to ever adjust the height?

I am scratching my head on the hitch rule too. What are they talking about?

Wow, simple punctuation skills should be mandatory if you are writing a rule book. All they needed was one more comma and that would have been decipherable.
 
The head rule has me scratching my head. Is it OEM or is it unlimited with just a width and length rule and no height or material restriction?
 
With ppl oem head is exactly that a factory oem head. Otherwise it would have said recast heads or billet heads.
