Either way it wouldnt matter as far as restrictions . There isnt a weight class and all pulling would be exhibition only for fun . Unless there was actually a class made for medium duty trucks . I doubt that will ever happen . Id be pulling in a class of one . :D

how much room do you have between the top of the motor and the hood , was wondering if it would fit center of the valley but elevated above the whole motor ? not to familer with the underhood of the kodiaks , from pics it looks like you could stick one alot of places but i'm sure you've reserched every possible location .

I think it is done with the new garrett avt37 and a garrett 42 .

I havnt been able to stop thinking about this since I saw it a few months ago . Already was on my mind , now I cant get it out of my mind .

Bad to the Bone is a understatement for a heavy truck and EGT's .

i didnt know some one had done it that way was just thinking it would be a good spot since you wanted to keep it out of the fenderwell area . get working jonny you know its the only way, i bet the money you have and will spend on singles the twins would pay for themselves , am i getten to ya yet :angel:

I've been looking for some pictures of driveshaft loops for the two piece driveshaft, like the one in my CC LB. Anyone have any pics of how you did it?

Im thinking the same way , twins is the answer . Just need help doing it and some $$ . The usual limiter in HP is $$ . :D

There isnt any bolt on kit for the kodiak . All custom set up and turbo position is a issue . I have a few ideas though . The way PPE did Pats is a option with some relocation of elec components . A pain though , Joe and I talked about it a few years ago , but I didnt want it low in the right front fenderwell . Didnt like it there . didnt like losing fender liner either .

I have seen it done on a different kodiak back east , but my 2nd cp3 is in the way for where I have seen it placed on that kodiak . Looked clean though . Top front of motor turned sideways . Could work if cp3 taken off and a wicked single with lift pump . Kinda use to having plenty of fuel . :)

Either way for now a real turbo is in order and where I think I am going with it . A 40-94 and see if it is too big for daily driving and some towing . If to big I will put a 40-88 on and go with it for a while while the twin thing is figured out .

I wish there was more sled pulling here on the west coast . Looks like waiting till August is when next event around here is coming up .

You guys back east have pulling events all the time . Lucky .

We have year round drag racing . You can only race the kodiak so much before it becomes boring though . 15's just doenst cut it for fun .

Impressive for weight , but lame at the same time . :)

Time to hook to a sled for some exhibition pulling . Now that sounds fun digging hard in 4wd in the dirt . Suprised there isnt any kodiaks powered up pulling yet .

a little off topic, but i was wondering when you rebuilt the engine what kind of rods did you use?

Well here's what we ended up with on the rear shaft, front one isn't done......

Ujoint shield in the back and a loop in the front.

I didn't do the fab, just outlined some ideas for what I wanted and here it is.

I didn't get it in the picture but the tube mount for the front loop has a flange that bolts to the outside of the frame rail just like the cross member for the lift kit. Not what I said I wanted in the beginning but it turned out looking pretty good.
