A buddy of mine is turnin his old 96 into a pull truck. It will be a 2.8 truck but this is a "budget Build" for sure. So we kinda been thinkin bout somethin here lately.The truck has 246K on the motor. Truck runs goods and everything but heres my question.
Ok when you want a motor to turn some Rs you build it a lil loose, so with 246k i'd say this motor is a lil loose.
Now for the question, how many RPMs is gonna be alright?
I mean a know what ya need of what they say you need for 5k but will 4000 to like 4300k be alight??
I mean like me were talkin bout, if need be it would be beter to rebuild it than turn it, break a rod and have to a have a whole motor.
We have a buddy who has a 95 cummins pull truck. 155k on the stock bottom end, and he leaves the line at 5300 and goes down the track at 5000k. All stock bottom end, I mean the pan has never been off, he says it will be fine and my buddy is really wantin to turn 5 but I said I thought if he held 4000k down the track that would be a good place to start.
