I am making a plan to attend one proper pull this year in the US. The market up here is small and nothing like i remembered when i was growing up. If I were to make one event this year, what one would you recommend? I want to have an event with the heavy hitter classes, but also be closer to...

while watching some Limited PS pulling from PPL @Rudy's over morning coffee I had a thought. Has anyone worked in the idea of having a "float" set up on their weight boxes to help ease cyclic hop on the front end? I know in the loader world float is a great advantage to keep the tires stable...

So they are starting to get more and more diesel spots on their channel. From drag trucks to rat rods (and busses). Its good to see. Also caught a Wild Baca at the track testing in their latest video.... pulled a 10.18.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90hsMKkSYCk

You know everything he is talking about already, but i learned a few new things. Unky Gale Stands Up and Talks

I've been trying to get my local tuner guys to see if they are willing to do custom tuning for a F550. Its a work truck that is required to have DPF in, and the out of box tunes are pretty good, but there is room for improvement. What i am looking for is a tuning company that can work with the...

I seen this done on CAT Tier4I/F engines for a while under the premise you can obtain a better/higher pressure timing the pulse of the pump plunger to the cylinder needing fuel. Stepping back to mechanical in a way. Greg working with Gale to time cp3 belts with his motor. I mentioned this a...

Don't know how if this exactly applies to this forum, but i'll give it a whirl. I was recently on a product training course with CAT and their CR based engines all have timed pumps. Specifically timed that the top of the compression stroke of the pump lines up with an injection event. The...

Are there any diesels going to make Drag Week this year and run? Would be nice to see some quick soot run down the track with all the rest. On a side note, there seems to be some REALLY fast cars and trucks this year. best i figure there will be at least 3 people running 6's and driving from...

Have a 2012 F550 loaded to the gills in tools and parts on a daily basis. It needs a kick in the pants to help it along, BUT, it can't have deletes. I have a line on an XRT-Pro street for 400 bucks. I don't need fancy, but i need more power filter in. Other than the H&S what are my options?

I have seen in the for sale sections 2.6 and 3.0 turbo's going for top dollar. I understand that anything that is "race" is not synonymous with "cheap". But take for instance. the Haisley hx80 that 01PPUMP is selling, what makes that charger different than a standard Holset HX80. is it...

I was blocked on the work internet and am only catching the last half of the diesel pulls. What were the notable times, surprises, upsets, and carnage of the day? So far i heard about a Pro Street 9.3 pass? Banks no showed?

Been chasing a code problem and it ended up being the MAP sensor in the air box as well as the one in the intake manifold. during that time, rail pressure was spiking to 29k. put maybe 120km on the truck with it like that, and always under low load until I could figure it out. Now that...

Background--- Been chasing a P0107 and various other MAP sensor codes on my 05 CR. when the code is one i am spiking my rail pressure to 29k and i don't like that. Finally got a warm day and snuck my head under the hood. Previously replaces sensor to no help and i have 4.999V at both power...

Hey all, Just another redneck mechanic from Canada checking in. Will use this site mainly for the puller aspect of it. Want to get into pulling by the end of '14. whether it is building from ground up or buying proven power, this site looks to be SUPER resourceful. What i own right now in...
