Say, there, McRat, does your truck have an aluminum driveshaft?

While I feel bad for you. I am kind of in the same boat. I dealt with it. *****ing about it to Gene will not get you anywhere. You should know that buy now.
The way I see it. Get a 2.6" cover and your wheel trimed. You would be a force to reckon with in the 2.6" classes. Face it, even a 2.8" no bushing class your going need 800+rwhp just to place. Unless you swap out the 7.3 that is honestly not going to happen.
In general.
These rules are good. Perfect? No. But there is no such thing.
Please do not PM me wanting bushings or shields. I will make them for freinds but that is it. I do not sell them nor will I. Simply I can not make them cheap enough that anyone would buy them. No sense making pulling parts for pennys when I can make Aircraft parts and Molds for dollars.
Lets all ease up on smack talking and get wrenching. 2008 could be a great year.:thankyou2:

mech2161 said:John I agree with you. The problem I have is why is a bushing legal in 2.8 and not 2.6. The 2.8 guys have more suction or what? I'd rather see no bushings across the board. All or none.[/QUOTE
Kevin way i see it, 2.6 is still an entry level class, it a jump up form work stock but not as huge jump as it would be from WS to a 2.8 class. There for to keep it a lil more cost friendly no bushing rules fits it good. Theres alot of 2.6 chargers that perform good as some 2.8s. You will see more daily drivers in a 2.6 class then the 2.8 class and thats good for the sport. How many people want to take there daily driver and pull against full built motors and trailer queens in a 2.8 class where some one can runs a 3.20 turbo or even bigger and bush it down. I did for a while and loved doing it, but its not for every one. Also not saying there wont be built motors in 2.6 either. The 2.6 class is gona be riot of fun and i wouldn't be surprised if top 15 at big events is separated by 8ft! The only thing in rules i seen is the no electric water pumps in 2.6 with no rpm limit. Buy hey ill figure something else out. That being said either spend some more jack and run 2.8 or get a 2.6 cover and quit gripping and just pull.

So the 2.8 class gets *****d out again. And your building a Dodge(Joe). I'll biotch for the Fords till I quit.

There was a 12 year old who knew more about cars and trucks than you, and had better schooling, and they kicked him out of here.
McRat said:Wrong verb. Chased. Sorry.
My beetch is that if I had an A5000, my $3000 worth of safety equipment would be fine.
But since I chose another brand to get my RDA (recommended diesel allowance) of 750HP, I need to up the ante.
I say that if 750 is unsafe with a GT42, it's unsafe with a K31. But it's not a popular opinion.

strokin_early99 said:I agree with Joe on this one. I am glad to see a 2.6 class. I think it gives the daily driver guys, more importantly the Fords, a shot at something other than last place. I am use to pulling against trailer queens with 71mm turbos and getting my butt handed to me, so this will be fun and exciting. I only hope the local pulling promoters adopt the NADM rules.
I only wish we could up the weight a little, making 8K is murder on a modded work truck like mine. I think Joe suggested something a while back like 8K with hanging weights and 8250lb without any weights for the 2.6 class. That would be awesome! That would bring back about 3 pullers in my area that are tired of stripping their trucks to get down to 8K.
