If They Do This And I By Anymeans And Forced To Do This I Will Drop My Pull My Old School Does Not Have Cooling Capacity To Cool It Unless We Are Allowed Electric Water Pumps It Just Will Not Do It Even When It Was Ve And Had 370 It Would Get Hot With Electric Fans Is Not Reasonable Just Follow The Rules On Charger And Drivetrain And It Will Be A Fun Competitive Class Ths Is My $.02
You are allowed Electric water pumps and fans...I daily drove my truck setup with that same combo, even pulled a couple 10K lb trailers with it...all with a 550cc, 5K pump, a TIGHT converter, and with a 64mm single, or a 62/S480 twin set. Get a grip
Unless you changed the radiator, any Cummins should be able to cool itself to make it 20 miles...if it can't, get out of the street classes!
What are the guide lines to this rule?
Who is to say the truck is streetable?
Are u telling me that u could hook all season get to the last pull and the tech guy say hey lets make him do our "Opinionated road test" then it pisses our entire season away?
U allow hanging weights and Air/Water IC's and this is a street class?
Point blank u HAVE NO RULES THAT TELL US WHAT MAKES OUR TRUCKS STREETABLE it just says a 20 mile road trip, is that accelerating decelerating pulling a trailer stop and go do we have to keep the water temp below 180* do we have to drive 20 miles going 60mph? U have nothing telling us what this 20mile excursion consist's of?
U gave us a set of rules and we build to them and can pass with flying colors but we also have to pass your road test which with the way they read IT IS ALL OPINION THEIR ARE NO GUIDELINES.
All im getting at what are the guidelines to this rule, u ask 99 people they may have 99 opinions of what streetable is?

That's right, 99 people will have 99 opinions on streetable...but I remember you driving your S465 equipped, mini-spooled, 5.13 geared truck to my shop to give me a hand with my truck...that's more than 20 miles one way. Was it fun...I think you said no, did it make it, yes...and I think a couple times.
I doubt they are going to critique your driving habits, or having to rev it out a little in each gear to keep from smoking out every intersection...but as long as you can actually drive it 20 miles, without any big problems, like overheating, cutting a tire on a fender, etc, I'd say you'll be fine.
