pinched wire finally wore thru from a factory screw up in putting in the dash
See what happens when we hire out a sophisticated piece of machinery to the lowest bidder??? :hehe::hehe::hehe:

See what happens when we hire out a sophisticated piece of machinery to the lowest bidder??? :hehe::hehe::hehe:
If anyone is near San Angelo, you've got to go by Larry R's shop. This guy is top notch, and the beast he's building is amazing. He fixed my fuse problem and is just a great guy to sit around and shoot the bull with. I guess I should have started a new thread, but I figured it was easier to hi-jack one...
Wheres his shop?
Thanks for the good word. I guess this means the fuse hasen't blown yet
If not the next thing is to remove the top of the dash:scare:
Worked great. I'm taking it to Mertzon tonight to see how it does when I get out in the dirt and mesquite.
Thanks again!
Ok, now I know what I want for Christmas-this truck-I have put about 450 miles on it-havent gone full throttle yetthis thing to me is a monster. I am sure most of you who have owned these things know this already but the difference between what it was before and what it is now is just down right scary fun This thing goes from 65 to 105 in well, I don't really know because I had my eyes closed:rofl: I wasn't ready for it but it was ready for it. Damn thing just sits there waiting to catch me off guard and lite up the tires-I can smoke the tires(35" mudders) at 50mph. This thing is just awesome. Thanks to Pat, Kat, Guy, Larry Jewell, and Rick for all the help. My wife says I can now buy one because she says I can't afford to do this to one and would have to leave it stock-rriigghhtt- a little piece here and there won't be noticed:angel: As soon as I can find the right spot (very open road) I will let you guys know what it does from a stand still at wot-maybe-if I can hang on that long

There are also thanks that go to a lot of people on here for the tech torque specs and general questions so THANK all of you-I have been at this since July so I may have forgotten a few names but not the incredible help and friendship I have recieved from the people on this site. Again, Thank you, Larry R.
always ready to take one for the team huh Larry
Well, I took him out for a test drive before I let the owner have it for a week or two to find the bugs and I don't think Mr. Jewell would have been able to hold a camera because of the death grip he had on the bar on the dash:rofl:
This thing is wicked. I let him have it while I fix his escalade and wait for PPE to send me a few more parts. He called me yesterday and I could see his smile through the phone
. The tracks open up here in Feb so maybe then we can get some times-in the mean time I am trying to find a superflo dyno close for some "special" tuning by a qualified individualAs always, lots and lots of special thanks to Kat, Pat, Guy, Rick, and Larry J. You guys and girl have helped me out so much I can never thank you enough.
Larry.

I gotta say you did one hell of a job on the truck, and Pat did one hell of a job on the tuning. I bet my fingerprints were left on the ohshit!!! handle
I can also honestly say that I have not ever rode in anything that quick (never ever) and I honestly cant figure out how come that turbo lites up as fast as it did.

Well, I took him for a test drive before I turned it over to him and I scared the _ _ _ t out of him too
Yours and his prints are probably combined now.I was playing with it when I left you and when you nail it at sixty you can count 1, 2, 110mph
Its a monster alright, especially for his daily driver. Now, when do we build you one?
I cant let go of mine for an extended time.........but when you finally do get hold of it, Rods, pistons and injectors is as far as i'm going, and I hope to have duel cp3's before you get it (next month or 2), and probably mpi twins, keeping the cheetah in the stock locationWell, I took him for a test drive before I turned it over to him and I scared the _ _ _ t out of him too

Let me know when you find a dyno and get it to the track. I'd drive over to check it out. I'm quessing the dyno and track both will be over towards the metroplex? If not, I may still drive out that way. I need to get my truck on a dyno to do some tuning too, and I'm always up to running down the track.
The dyno I found is in Buda over by Austin. They do the diesel shootout every year for dieselmag. All the other ones are either too far away or can't do a big diesel truck. The track(s) are in Midland and here in San Angelo.
But you love driving the Slowbalt rent car:rofl:I cant let go of mine for an extended time.........but when you finally do get hold of it, Rods, pistons and injectors is as far as i'm going, and I hope to have duel cp3's before you get it (next month or 2), and probably mpi twins, keeping the cheetah in the stock location
actually Cody (05supersmoker on SARacing) is trying to put together a dyno event in Lubbock in the next month or so, can rent the dyno for $800 for the day I think is what he said..............I'd rather drive to Buda than Lubbock though........
