    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    exactly.. she did just as good on mileage at 80 as 65 so... I tell ya the boat wants to run. Those Durramax were pushing me hard down the hills. Hit 95 once just trying to stay ahead of em.. [emoji1787] Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Actually yes I was. Coming from a 10yr older Dodge, this thing is dream to tow with. Airbags would have made it even better.. We matched Waze calculated arrival time over the 900 miles. Averaged 62.5 mph A to B.. Not so impressed with the 9.8mpg fuel average. Ran it on the 600hp hot tune once...

    Where's all those Carolina Rake lovers??. Made it to FL in 4 fuel stops, no issues, and even outran all the storms. Traveling with a buddy cut 4hrs off the trip, vs with the wife in a fast car. Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    Packing up to roll south Sunday before next band of rain / snow moves in. Needed to make one last trip over to welding shop yesterday and redo a tail pipe to turbo flange I didn't like. So decided to see what she tipped the scales at behind the new to me 6.7 King Ranch. Once I load up all...

    LBZ: Starter Continuous Click + Glow Plugs

    Could be your starter, I smoked one last week in the cold. Would still roll over, but slow and labored. I heard it let go however, trying to start a cold engine with no glowplugs. Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    Think we are rolling south next week. Spent the last couple weeks with my build partner and a couple buddies freezing our asses off over here. So we've decided it's time to bust a move somewhere warm. Catching a flight tomorrow to check out some digs in Sarasota.

    Coolant reservoirs are back from welding. Tomorrow we check seawater system for leaks, then wrap up all the small stuff and find a lake to test on..

    In old setup with attached resivour type 1 pumps had 4AN crossover tube with 3rd resivour, and 3/8 returns to each main resivour. See below. New setup, single remote reservoir tank with tee in the 5/8 line feeding each pump directly. Also pumps are inverted, feeding from bottom to remove any...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Exactly. The design is in case you lose one engine you still have power steering on the other. So each pump in normal operation, should have half of the flow and load that it would normally see in an automotive environment. The system in the boat is based off 1/2 inch line, with two 3/8 line...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I hope so.. Issue is you have two pumps and one steering system. Old setup was based on two old Saginaw 1 pumps which are same as factory Dmax. Then they had a crossover tube connecting both reservoirs. I'd like to keep that space between engines open so you can walk thru there... Sent from a...

    I'm betting the wine of the turbos will cover the sound of the power steering pumps cavitating. Problem solved.. LOL Like everything that's custom, you never know if it will work till you bolt it up and give it a try. Kinda like these brand new LBZ alternators I'm cracking open and modifying so...
