Jeremy,

575 was the best on fuel with the PSD. And that was with water too. I didn't have the water hooked up last Sat.

[BluegrassDiesel]

when a dmax makes 878 on a stock bottom end let us know please :thankyou2:

it will do it just not for long! the dmax rods bend and get shorter from high hp. they generally dont break catostrophically.

c'mon greg I thought after ditching the PSD you'd be done blowing crap up!!

that timing rattle was nasty. I cringe when I hear sounds like that.

sorry to hear about the engine, you better have it back together for merchant's thing this spring!!

Well..................

The beast is back in the driveway and after a brief cursury review, it looks as though it may have been hurt previous to the dyno testing and was a ticking time bomb at the levels I'm shooting for:doh:

Shortly after I got it running I had a couple issues that were eventually fixed but looks like they may have helped to contribute to the damage. First I had the controller for the 2nd CP3 crap the bed which caused the top CP3 to run wide open and 25k psi rail pressure at idle!! After that was troubleshooted and fixed, on the very first test drive around the block at my house, I had an injector hang wide open. It sounded like a rod was going to come right through the side!! After pulling the injectors, I found it was #3 that had hung open. I pulled the nozzle and made sure it was clean and working properly, threw them back in and everything was fine until that fateful day!!:kick:



Take a guess which rod broke???oke:

It happens right, that is one thing I haven't had happen yet! I have had injectors hang open before also, it's not pretty.

BOTW, what Twin combo did you go with, can't seem to remember?

Greg,it sounded like it was hurt when it was running at light load on the dyno,i know you dailed a lot of timing in,but it still didnt sound right. Besides who else has thrown a rod on a known good Cummins on diesel only at 4K RPM or under at any HP?It had to be #3 that blew thru the pan.

Robert/Wade,

You can put your rod conspiricy theory's to bed:redx::hehe:

[Toolman]

Greg,
I have been waiting to see how it would run when you got it all together but never expected this . Sorry to hear about it I know you have put allot of time and money into it.
Congrats on the great numbers, get it put back together I look forward to seeing what it will do on the track!!

I replaced the rods in my truck and wanted to go with those Cunningham rods. Scheid recommended otherwise. They say the stock Cummins rods are very strong but, to make them even stronger Cummins also sell "shot peen rods" which Scheids says they run in many of the 5000rpm plus trucks. Stock rods are known to split and the shot peening helps eliminate it. Probably a lot cheaper than the Cunninghams too. My $.02

Scheids takes a stock Cummins rod and has them shot peened.

I will be running similar rods this year, the roller motor may get a set of Diamond-locks, we'll see.
