Oh, I was pickin up what you were putting down!! I was just :poke: you right back. Although, being a smartass online isn't like riding a bike. I'm sure I've lost some of my skill and talent the last couple years. "Mr I don't know" now that's a good one! :secret: I might be able to make...- IBDMAX'IN

Yeah, I kinda dropped off the planet lately. Truck is running good, I still have a couple small issue's to get her back up in tip top shape, but just like my personal life, she's been neglected for working on trucks :D All is good though, I'm so busy right now I can't think straight. But I...- IBDMAX'IN

From what I understand, the more the better. The points have to do with how many rounds each of our team members go. So the more rounds, then the better our chances at earning points is. Hey Chad!! what the heck have you been up too?! I haven't heard from you in a while, can't say it's all...- IBDMAX'IN

WOW. Read this.
LMAO, You have about the same sence of humor my UPS guy has, today I got even with a snowball. (He said he had a special delivery the other day and nailed me!) Anyway, the new LED tail lights he's getting for Christmas should get me back onto the early part of his route :D- IBDMAX'IN

WOW. Read this.
I forgot to make a sig over here, but I'm currently in Idaho starting my own diesel performance shop. And I'm pretty sure I'm more than 200 miles from home...........which is 200 more miles from where I would like to be ;) But I love what I do, and no matter where I do it, I'm happy :)- IBDMAX'IN

A New best ever 12.042 @ 112.65
I'm just using some fabtec straps that I had laying around the shop for our lifted LMM. But you can find nice limiting straps in jegs or summit racing catalogs. They come in a couple of different lengths and have steel brackets on each end. You just simple attach one to the frame and one to the...- IBDMAX'IN

A New best ever 12.042 @ 112.65
I would have to agree, those 60' times are killer. I wouldn't change anything. I changed my setup because I was unloading my front tires causing one to spin and the other to grab which can become a handful for the first 60' or more. Some people add a locker to cure the problem, which works...- IBDMAX'IN

front locker for drag racing ?
My point exactly, I'm not saying that a locker won't improve traction, but I think it's comming with a pretty big safety cost if something does happen, and trust me, 99% of safety equipment is added not because you plan on something going wrong, but for the 1 time out of 1000 that S**t happens.- IBDMAX'IN

Outside of launching straight, how is it to turn when it's locked?- IBDMAX'IN

Bonneville Engine:
Any consideration in going with a dry sump oil system? Although pricey, they will help with a lot of the oiling issue's you are seeing due to lack of volume and pressure. And making sure that each vital part of the engine is getting the amount of pressure and volume you want it to is a breeze...- IBDMAX'IN

A New best ever 12.042 @ 112.65
I would imagine that if you had a ton of slack in the strap, that could pose an issue. but I limit the strap to about 2" of travel. The way that I set the final height was by lowering my torsion bars all the way down which is where I like it for drag racing, then jacking up the front end untill...- IBDMAX'IN

front locker for drag racing ?
I don't run a locker in mine, but I will tell you that I've driven a couple of trucks that have, and I would be extremely careful because with the front end locked up, turning the steering wheel is almost not an option. Just something I would be scared of if I needed to make a fast correction...- IBDMAX'IN

Diesel Power Magazine Challenge:
That track definently needs better prep, I would have to agree with Rob, it's one of the worst I've been to when it comes to prep and traction. Mix that with high elevation and you have a hard combo for fast times.- IBDMAX'IN

Nice job on the times!! If you want to keep the front tires planted a little better you can install some limiting straps on the front end to keep your nose level. I just used some fabtec limiting straps I had laying around the shop, but if you look in jegs or summit you can find them pretty...- IBDMAX'IN
