Well we got the truck unloaded and fired up on ether it was hung at 2k rpms again replaced tps and idles and starts fine now the wierd knocking noise we were hearing turned out to be the # 2 cylinder pushrods bent as bent can be!! Seems like i spun the motor to hard on the previous pass or more then likely the burnout of that pass. Just glad the motor wasnt hurt like i was thinking it was. I got a some videos of max's truck, jakes truck and a video of the two trucks in the shootout ill post on youtube later tonight when i get to work and post the link!!!

Yep I picked up a complete 05 motor with ecm wiring harness' etc a month or so ago and had the intentions of eventually building it for my truck and swapping the vp motor for the cr and being able to sell the vp motor as a running engine and recoupe some of the cr build costs. I have most of the stuff to do a p7100 conversion as well so that is another option and with michael close to getting his flow machine operational it might be a possibility to do that. Many options for the future of my truck just not clear which one I will take. :evil
 
Thanks. See if I can get it to pull at least a 1.8 60' with first gear back in it. Hope to be back at the track next weekend for some more testing. Not much point in hauling it to Ennis if I can't get it to hook enough to get in the 10's.

That was me. My little heavy 6.7 can really move when I let it down shift. I thought I was hitting the speed limiter but I was having some kind of fueling issue on the top end. Not sure why it was cutting out but it seemed like a electric issue. Blowning a boot into two does not help the matter at all.

13.3 at 102 last night, I was scared to turn the smarty up since the tranny was only Hours old. I am not sure if the 68 is cut out to be a track tranny yet. Need more time to learn how it shifts but as a daily it does very well.

That trailer yall loaded up on, PM the make of it. I may get rid of my 35' to look at one of those. That trailer was very impressive.

good turn out and not to much carnage from what I saw. I missed the finale run I think they ran right after my last pass.

KC thanks again for the weld repairs on the trailer you were a real life saver!

As for the race truck its back to the drawing board again on getting it to hook.... I was rather surprised with the 129 mph though.

Now if we can just find someone with a service truck with air and gen we will be set on the mobility part of it!

I have 2 sets.
1 set has the slicks on them, the other set has street tires on them.
They are 15" X 15" 8 lug.
I also have a set of Weld wheels that I'm getting 8 lug centers made. When they become available 1 set of the steel wheels will be for sale.
 
We broke the intermediate shaft again.
All the clutches are perfect so the trans. is doing the job.
Time to quit being a cheapass and get a billet intermediate LOL

Not sure how long the truck will be down as I have all my money tied up in the pump stand right now. Almost finished and ready to be put to work.....

Someone at the track Friday night asked how could I not have a billet intermediate shaft in the trans....
Its because I'm running this truck out of my own pocket and don't have an unlimited budget. There is a lot of things I would like to do to it but money is always the limiting factor. We will continue to do the best we can with what we can afford.

As always:
Thanks to my crew and all who have supported us.
I believe this year is going to be very good for the HRD drag truck.

Amen! If they think its so easy why arent they doing it? Hell it may break a Billet shaft aswell and that 900 bucks before fluid, filter and labor. :doh:

Perhaps they would like to sponsor you the parts Im sure you would put their name on the truck some where for that...

Keep up the good work man its miles ahead of me.:Cheer:
