Driveshaft Loops
- Thread starter Osubeaver
- Start date
I made my own, sorry no picture. No way to make them serve intended purpose and look sexy doing it. Unless you have a back half truck, i think they atleast look integral in that setting.
Look into Chris Alstons Chassisworks for some ideas.
Good luck.

i'll be building one within the next few weeks so i'll have some pics then. i'm just gonna use some 1 1/4" tubing and drop it down off where your fuel tank x member is or was in my case.
I believe he made them.

thanks Steve
If I was going to keep racing my truck at the drags , the techs thought it might be a good idea for to install some hoops . Alot of driveshaft under mine being hammered on . Didnt want it spitting the driveshaft out near the crowd .
I agreed it would be a good idea if more HP was added .

Your not going to let us down are you?
You did a nice job Ed (eds04max).
Not going to let you down . The motor is ready for a big turbo .
Still working on that and deciding on what is best .
Im am the true turbo killer . Im on #7 right now and changing it today again .
It isnt happy again . Stock turbos last me about 3 trips to the dunes .
#8 going on today . This one is used stocker with 40K off stock truck and we will see how long it takes for me to kill it .
Hopefully it lasts a few . Got pretty good at changing turbo's
Best thing is this though , dont be jealous . :rofl:

Man. You got awesome room!
So sorry for off topic. With your weight, what charger are you thinking? Just for info, I've been able to run a GT4202 with my slide in camper on (around 13K+) with success (1.01 exhaust A/R). You do want to keep the Rs up when traveling up a steep grade to keep the barking down though (same with any big chargers I've run). Personally I wouldn't change it for a lesser charger though anymore. It's a fun huffer puffer.
You got me beat on turbos. I used up 3 before changing when the A5Ks first came out. Good luck on this one.
You going to put D.S. loops on?

i'm suprised with all the heavy towing you do that you dont just give those little stock turbos a big brother to play with
, it would put some restrictions on sled pulling though .
Im thinking the same way , twins is the answer . Just need help doing it and some $$ . The usual limiter in HP is $$ .
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 .

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 .
