Anyone know what happened to Megatron at TS?

The reason for asking is bc it almost seemed like it was trying to inject water. just wondered if his A/W cooler came apart?

Optimus fuked his **** up.

 

[prochargedcumnz]

lol..the reason i was asking was bc i noticed that he was running the same a/w that I intended on getting.

I think he said there was a loose clamp.

he was the very last truck to go down the track the night of the ts pull. what ever there issue was in the beginning of the night they seemed to get figured out. he appeared to have a decent run in the end.

The truck had bad vband clamp that came apart on the side draft intake manifold.

They did get it put together but the rubber gasket was missing, so there was still a boost leak.

The clamp was missing on the failed attempt? The clamp was in place but the gasket missing, on the exhibition run?

I was told someone removed the clamp while the truck was parked.

i guess i left too soon i didnt see him run at the end, glad to hear he got it lined out

holy #$%&

It definitely put down a solid pull at the end of the night... the only thing that didn't impress me about the truck was the quality of the welds on the traction bars and axle tubes. Really hope the welding shop that put their name on the side didn't do the work. Don't get me wrong, the truck is bad ass, and obviously the welds hold just fine, but if you're gonna put your name on it at least try to lay a decent looking bead :banghead:

Wow x2

We believe someone was under the hood that wasn't supposed to be. The clamp nut was back off til the end of the threads. It's a jam nut too so it didn't just vibrate loose. I wasn't too happy when I got that text, cause that truck would have been a contender for first. Truck is fully built by Midwest Truck Products and EFILive tuned by us.

It was a ss vband commonly used for dairy pipelines. two halves hinged in the middle with quick release thumb nut.
If it becomes loose it will fall off easily
