Beech I take it you got your sleeves and centerlink if your playing with 4wd then??

just the sleeves...i have the centerlink brace and my shop made TWO attempts at putting them in and couldn't...first time they wrecked a bolt and I had to get mike durand to send me a new one (props to him by the way he didn't even charge me) and now they said it leaves some kinda gap and they 1 don't feel comfortable installing it and 2 say it will do absolutely nothing:mad: they must be trying to do it wrong

so im gonna maybe try and do it myself before saturday or see if someone else can do it the right way.... last night i ran 2.0 for my first 60' not launching too hard....the second run i boosted the shit outta it and it felt bad...real bad so i dont really wanna do it again till i get them in

Hmm wish I could help ya but I haven't gone down that road yet with braces and a centerlink. Did you try asking the guys on here about it? I know there are old threads about it that you might be able to dig up that may or may not help you. Just a thought.

well i was very disapointed in my truck yesterday. could barely pull a 14.06 in the time trials :( even pulled the toolbox... and first run red lighted and got eliminated. so much for my first time.... i think i'll stick to sled pulling. by the way, mike, ally is pissed and needs parts fast was slipping like the dickens!

after seeing all the big rigs i want to put a eaton split range in :D can it be done??

Dmaxfireman, I saw you in the staging lanes yesterday. I saw you go down the track from under the announcer tower. Pretty cool. My GF got a video your truck if you want me to post.
I red lighted also on my first elimination round. Suck big time but I am hooked on racing though. Are you going to give it another shot Oct. 12 at the diesel show and go?

not unless i get my tranny built by then. ally is done. limped for the first time yesterday :( slipping worse and worse each run i did, needs a rebuild BAD

running twins, a gt40, HOT stock turbo tunes, lots of heavy towing, some sled pulls, and those 3 runs did her in. will be on the phone with mike this week to talk more about parts options. house budget has taken over but need a truck to go to work and do work on the house :-/
