    2wd Track bar Tech Info

    I have searched and read lots of good info on cal tracs vs long bar, drag racing vs pulling but all the threads are on 4wd trucks. Stop me if I'm wrong but will a longer bar give you more front end lift ie.. weight transfer in a 2wd? The truck is race only so ride is of no concern and I love...

    1/2 ton Drag Truck conversion

    Has anyone looked at transplanting a Dmax and Ally into a 1/2 ton 2wd truck? I found a 2005 1/2 ton work truck with a bad motor and tranny for cheap. Would this force me to race in a higher class? I realize I would need to meet the weight requirments but would the 1/2 ton chassis bump me out...

    LB7: How much power do you lose at high elevation

    Typicaly ever racer will loose a half second in the 1/4. You can try to tune for the reduced air which is a bit easier with a supercharger (overdrive) but you will feel the difference. Weather will also play a big part of the adjusted elevation factor, dry and hot will really be tough.

    NHRA Driveline Loops?

    Do I need a drive line loop on both ends of my drive shaft or just the front? If I'm reading the rules correctly then I should only need it on the front of my shaft 6" from the centerline of the caps? This is a 2wd truck with slicks on the rear and I dont intend to pull with it? I ran a...

    Lightweight thread....

    The lovely truck I started with had both bags popped when I picked it up. I also added a 1500 bumper because it was missing. Before I installed the bumper I pulled the grey plastic off the top and used a uni bit to drill a bunch of holes in the metal. After the plastic was reinstalled it...

    I pulled the entire AC system from my 2wd. You can buy a delete pully that bolts into the stock location of the compressor. There are tons of shields under the trucks to get rid of if its race only, plus all the dirt packed behind them.

    Dyno Tips for First Run?

    It looks like there is a ton of info on ( Your first trip to the track) but not much on Dyno runs. I have a couple of questions: Can you run cheater slicks on the dyno? Do I need to heat them in the parking lot prior to running? Do you just get in and mash the gas or bring it up...

    Exterior Mirror Delete covers?

    Has anyone ever seen a cover that would bolt on in place of your exterior mirrors? I checked around the slammed and smooth crowd but could not find anything? Did the larger trucks have a cover in this location and then mirrors on the door? I only race my truck so I sold my tow mirrors to...

    A/C Delete

    Thanks for the part number GM #14102597 for future searchers. The truck is a 2wd and anything I can dump from the front is great. Also it gets a bunch of crap out of the way for wrenching.

    A/C Delete

    I would like to pull my A/C and heat system to save the weight up front. What have others done with the belt, grab a new one for non-A/C trucks or build a idler where the compresor was? Anyone have the number for the belt i would need? Does anyone out there need any A/C parts for their DD? I...

    2wd race setup?

    I found the wheels at Performance Wheel and Tire in Denver CO. I had stopped in to order my slicks and a set of black steel wheels when the salesman stated he had these in the back and they were blems. The finish is a bit streaky, looks like someone clearcoated a polished milled wheel and you...

    Noobs?

    I'm a NOOB to the Dmax and DD, DF. As you may have noticed from the screen name I started on "TheDieselStop.com" and got tired and broke trying to make a 7.3 run quick. Now my only real questions are can I make a 10 sec pass on my stock truck and tranny by adding the EDGE Juice? And which...
