Last Minute Callout Build
Truck got back Friday at 2:00am. Stripped it completely today. Pulled the engine, Trans, transfer case, fuel tank, harnesses and all the interior. Got the main hoop of the cage in & rear bars to frame. The biggest time killer was all the wires when we pulled the dash. We're running the front... -
Last Minute Callout Build
The guy that was gonna install the cage this weekend bailed. Work is slow & a pipeline job came up that has them working this weekend. Can't blame the guy for that. Plan B is we do it ourselves this weekend. The guys are on board & very capable of doing the work. We just had other things... -
Last Minute Callout Build
Yeah I know the feeling. That's one thing I like about having stock exhaust on the tow rig. It has enough power to surprise people but it has no bark. It's kinda fun that way! I was tempted to run it again in Ennis last week but decided the ole girl didn't need to break down right now. -

Yes until the state inspection & registration expire in September. After that the dual hood stacks & 8.50 cage will make it hard to keep legal:roflmao: -
Last Minute Callout Build
Lol we had a major Cummins derail there. Last season it weighed 5220 without driver. I'm not sure where it will be when it's complete. 10 bolt is coming out & a 14 bolt 9.5" is going in. Add the weight of the cage & turbo setup, minus the fuel tank. It'll probably gain a little. If we had more... -

Yeah if that truck stays together they are almost guaranteed to win the whole thing. I love what those guys have done! I'm excited to see that truck run & meet that bunch of guys! -

Scott has the triple kit done & my cousin is about to pick the truck up & bring it back here. There are so many variables it seems almost impossible that we'll be ready in time! Race motor's sporting stock injectors & turbo in the shop truck. It's getting some much needed break-in & I'm getting... -

Where's the Merchant Automotive of the LS world?! Can't get my hands on a decent set of solid motor mounts! Duramax guys have it made when we don't try to be different:rofl: -
Last Minute Callout Build
Thanks man. I'm probably calling defuel & torque management two separate things because from a tuning perspective they are different. Torque management is vital & actually keeps the shifts "fast & clean" like Evan put it. Torque management comes from the transmission controller in most cases... -
Last Minute Callout Build
I agree with you 100%. I leave the tcm tune stock aside from shift points. I like to control my defuel in the ecm tune only. Changes to torque management in the tcm can kill an Allison in a hurry. -

Scott has the intake, pedestal, turbos, intercooler & van thermostat housing at his shop. He'll be thrashing all weekend to get most of the fab work done. Can't say enough good things about the guy. In the mean time we have all kinds of ideas down here & no truck so all we can do is plan for... -

Last Minute Callout Build
Last April we took our bone stock LB7 tow pig & built it to run 11.90s in a week. Now we're taking a 10.5 truck & we have 4 weeks. I like the odds! -
Last Minute Callout Build
I'm not sure what I should do there. The 8.25 is weak & there's no fix for it. I have a 9.25 here but I'm not sure what it would take to make it fit & I don't have my truck here. Another thing about that is I'm running a 3:42 gear so I'd have to change the 9.25 to 3:42. Kinda sucks. Maybe just... -
Last Minute Callout Build
It's a 4wd. Not sure if it'll hook to a sled. If we do we, I'm pretty sure we'll be the only 6 lug there:rofl: I know what we're up against but it's hard to say no when you're a shop owner & this the kind of work you love. My goal would be to just build cool stuff like this every day. Not... -
