2.6 pull truck "6 Cylinder Sickness"

[kc8yhk]

1995 Ram 3500 $30,000 Long story short, we had our race truck for sale for a while and it didn't receive any interest. So we ended up trading it straight up for this pull truck. Went to a pull and after 6 miserable hours they were still 3-4 classes away from the 2.6 trucks so we packed up and left.

This is what I know that has been done to the truck. It is a fresh engine build with 2 hooks on it,
Scheid 950cc 13mm pee-pump, 5x22 injectors, .120 injector lines, head port/polish, joker fab intake, steed speed exhaust manifold, billet wheel s480, ARP 625 head studs, fire ringed, arp main studs, billet rods, steel mahle relief cut pistons, balanced rotating assembly, girdle, electric water pump, billet valve cover, billet tappet cover, billet timing case cover, hd push rods, hd valve springs, fluid damper, hamilton pulling cam, air to water, electric fans, Air Dog 2 165, Fuel cell, South bend dual disc clutch, nv4500 with bigger shafts. 4.88 gears, 35in BFG's, front tires are new.

I'm not a puller so if you have any questions just ask and I'll try my best to get you all the info you need.

Pics of the rear tires they look almost bald? Is that hitch adjustable at all?

 

[kc8yhk]

The tread is low on the rears, but I'd say they have some life left in them (again, I'm not a puller so I can't say for certain). The hitch sits at 26in, the height can be adjusted by changing the suspension height. (see attached pic)

If you need any additional pics I can get them for you Friday/Saturday. I am working out in Virginia this week

Holy hell I see a lot of bracing hooked to the hitch WAY forward of the rear that sure won't pass tech. Anyone else see this or am I missing something?

Should be find considering it is hooked to the cross member directly above the rear axle...I would think

Is that a valid picture of the engine?

That pic was taken before the engine went back into the truck.

I know it was already addressed but I believe the rules read the Pivot Point can not be forward of center line of the rear axle. At least for ppl I believe.

 

[kc8yhk]

So could that be corrected by cutting out all the bracing forward of that cross member over the axle? That could be done easy enough.

the way I see it it should be fine for ppl

See, I read that rule as no part of the hitch bracing can be further than the rear centerline.

 

[Macktruckdriver]

That's what all the rules we run state. That's why I said that. Really nice looking truck though. X2 on that dual disc. Any videos if it making a pass on those first 2 hooks?

 

[kc8yhk]

I might take it to a brush pull sometime this month and let the GoPro roll just so I have some video for a potential buyer. Other than that I have no desire to go out and hook or chase points. I thought I might like pulling when we made the trade. It turns out though I just don't have an ounce of interest in it.

If a serious buyer had concerns about the hitch I could make the required modifications.

Hook it once and you'll probably keep it.
