    4 monthes and 20,000 miles on a belt?

    Anyone know of a good belt in the 149" range that won't come apart from RPM? Or one to use with a van thermostat housing and dual cp3's...Our truck during the UCC lost 6 belts. We have been using Gates belts. All brand new idlers and a brand new metal wheel tensioner. We even tried a plastic...

    Ultimate Callout Challenge watch

    We had the motor ordered MONTHS in advance....I'm sure you know the waiting game and how it doesn't always work out. I find it hilarious that when we smoked the competition in 1 event, on the 1st run, we were called cheaters. But when Lavon kills it in multiple events, he is constantly praised.

    Ultimate Callout Challenge watch

    The motor we put in StarLites truck is a monster Wagler motor. We saw some 6400rpm logs and many 5200+rpm logs. This motor is very similar to the motor in Cummins killer, we just don't have a deck plate. Zach literally made tunes in the parking lot before the event. The truck had it's first...

    Ultimate Callout Challenge watch

    1500us tune, fuel only;) We turned it way up and got the nitrous turned on but decided not to make another pass. 360' on the first pull was good enough for us. We wouldn't have been able to climb into the top 3 so we decided there was no point in potentially hurting the motor. We drove it on...

    Last Minute Callout Build

    I wouldn't say they're junk. I have never once broken a sliding collar. Mine is still the stock one too. You guys were parked right next to us at RMR last night. Mine was the white CCSB GMC. I briefly checked out your truck, it is awesome! Very clean and well done.

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    And Shane's was a used crank if I'm not mistaken. I have heard through the grape vine about 1 person breaking a new crank with an AF cam, but when I have asked details, they "don't have any info" and cant even give me a name. So, I dont believe it. 170,000 mile lly crank in my motor with an...

    I've pulled probably 10 motors and have never once opened the AC system either.

    1911 insight

    I picked up a Remington R1 enhanced about 3 years ago. This thing is awesome. Shoots absolutely amazing. Of course I had to get a suppressor for it since it comes with a threaded barrel. It shoots any ammo I put through it, from blazer aluminum case to high end stuff, digests is all zero issue.

    Converter with pump bushing failure

    Excellent, thanks. We will hold on to it for the time being and send it out for a rebuild.

    Converter with pump bushing failure

    I've got a converter here that had a pump bushing failure. As you can see it got very hot and discolored the metal, even on the inside of the hub. I cleaned it up with a scotch brite pad by hand but I still have some concerns about it. Measuring the hub, it is about .006" "shrunken"...

    Torque Tech 1 tuner

    I've never felt any weirdness going that fast. I've had mine to 145mph, smooth as glass.

    Hey, I didn't buy a fully loaded crew cab just to strip it down ;) I like the big girl as is.

    1/4 mile discussion and time slips post here!

    I need that driver mod. Or I need to actually spend some money on suspension parts instead of trying to make up for it with more power. My 60' is always in the 1.7's. Fastest it's ever done.

    Nitto 420s vs kumho ecsta stx

    My kumho's have been great. They balanced no problem and have not needed any further attention since October when I put them on. If I get 8,000 miles out of them, I'll be happy. Tires don't last long when you floor it a lot at my power level.
