Duramaxzak 2.6 pulling truck build

[CaseBlackKnight]

Thought I would give a little update. I am still having problems holding truck back and decided to put all new brake pads and rotors on to see if it will hold better. I also ordered another converter, a Suncoast 10532. I have a pull this Saturday, but doesn't look like my new converter will be hear by than!

Is your brake lines in excellent shape? I had a similar problem and was told my brake lines were swelling

They seem to be in good shape, but they could be swelling some I'm sure. I will test the new brakes out in the drive way tonight and see if it helped any.

New brakes are grabbing alot better. I think with a sled hooked to it I should be able to get it to 3k! I will find out Saturday hopefully. Looking like new converter is not going to be hear till next week!

Sled makes a difference for sure.

I bought some russell stainless steel brake lines, also tried using the park brake to help hold

Pulled Saturday in Roberts, WI. It went pretty good getting the turbo to spool with the new brakes, but blew an intercooler boot at about 270'! Also need some more fuel.

Sorry, video quality sucks. My brother inlaw's phone makes him resize it before texting it. Really need to upload directly from his phone to YouTube.

I got to see Zak's truck this weekend and he did a great job on all the fab work and setup.
His truck sounded way better live! I love remote singles. Nothing sounds better.

Good luck on your next pull.
