    Lml dsp5?????

    Stop being party poopers... He's promoting something that will obviously make you guys a few extra millions this year. I've got a twenty that says it IS 100% DSP based, and uses CANbus commands captured off the OEM network to trigger it. :thumb: P.S. You owe me $26 right now, cause every time...

    Name That Rod Received 16 of these today. Dropped them off at machine shop for a little downsizing to fit new cranks. I'd like to watch the laser burn that hole through there. Sure glad these are expensive, because there is only a handful left after my purchase.

    I'm thinking LiveStream Pay Per View. :D After watching video and the aftermath of that piece of mallory sliding out the crank last weekend, PPV might be best way to actually recover something...

    What torque levels were you putting to that GV in OD? 1:1 input off a powerglide I'm guessing? I know they are rated to hold 2000hp, but I've always wondered about the torque and that cone clutch setup. Watched a video last night of Tom Neslons build on a salt flats or Texas Mile COPO with PG...

    Mark lets plan on it.... No one closer has a decent engine rig that I trust anyways. Since the engines have their own high volume pumps, all they need is 1" feed lines. I can bring a couple more 350 gallon hdpe tanks I have laying around the yard if you want some. I even have 3 steel 500's...

    First I've heard of them not running without TCM.. Got a link? The whole starting issue is easy. Dave's boat has single LMM without a BCM and he had no issues getting around it. However he does have a TCM in that one with the 6spd. Depending on what it needs to see, I can tell it what the moon...

    This build already jumped 20 with change to billet cranks, Banks intakes, and Nelson Racing symmetrical turbos. Add those custom trannies, and 2 WMD surface drives on top of that figure, your taking two new LTZ's fresh off the lot. Look closely at those engines he built for the other Dmax...

    One word: Insurance. USCG says no surface can exceeded like 180f or somewhere around there. My other boat had wrapped manifolds and up pipes and worked fine. But the cleaner way is water cooled stainless. If you have a fire and it was found to be caused by say fuel leaking onto a hot...

    LMM harness and ECM since I designed a NMEA gateway based off that setup. http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68389 Still trying decide about using a MAF with the twin symmetrical turbo's. I like the cleaner exhaust at lower RPM the MAF allows, but would either have to run them...

    Basically what everyone has waited to see in a boat since the article above years ago... Right side setup, twin turbo's with single stroker pump and +100 injectors.

    Yes the days of reverse rotation in boat are gone. Done in drive or trans now. But I would love to spin a Duramax in reverse just to say I did it... :spit:

    300 gallons of fuel. Est range is 900miles or more at cruise. I've wanted to build a boat with a gear vendors unit for a while. But with these WMD drives I can overdrive them if I want. So if second gear in trans is 1:1, then final could be .80 if we need. For now I'm planning 1:1 final with...

    12 weeks to have it rigged and be on the water. At least in time to make the Cumberland poker run and maybe go to LOTO if the client wants. Then she gets shipped home to Australia, just in time for summer boating season over there..

    I missed out on pair of trans I wanted to use with 1.5 first and 1.0 second. Next choice is these COAN XMT units based off a powerglide. I've been helping get a friends boat running with a 6sp Allison, it's been a pain. Getting one to shift correctly and hold gears in a boat has proven harder...

    The drives I've switched to use straight cut gears that you can set to about any ratio you imagine. BUT, imagine your truck having no transmission and only what gears you setup the rear end with. Now hook to a trailer... lol Hence the 2 spd trans options.

    Typically throttle position and load are linked together on a boat. The prop pitch plays largest roll in this value. With my LLY boat if you were at 50% throttle it was typically 45-60% load according to the ECM's calculation. What would vary that number is prop pitch. Bigger pitch = higher...

    They are dry sump plug in 6's with Huber 1450 trans. Problem is gearing is 1.5:1 and needed changed to 1:1 or so. The WMD's use straight cut quick change gears that can be overdriven if need be.

    On Daves LMM boat I think it was like hitting 00 on the roulette wheel. His stock LMM had 4 times the hours in same setup with no failure. Build a better bottom end, and it lasted under 8hrs. Only noted change was timing bumped up right before it snapped..

    Yes that is the only one I know of with 6's factory. And those are being replaced with Weismann WMD's. It's been spinning 16.5dia 31pitch 4 blades and ran 100+ with that setup. I have a pair of Tyson Garvin's [owner of the other big Dmax project boat] two speed transmissions coming for it. They...
