Thanks to everyone here that has shared their knowledge and experience:thumb: Last night I took first place with only seven trucks. I was first truck to hook and pulled the damn thing clean out of the park. So needles to say they said no to my distance and re set the sled. I backed down the track and pulled again with a 286.9 and I turned that down to pull again and came back with a straight 289ft. All three of my runs I got that damn p0087 at about the 250 mark and my truck shot straight to 2000rpms but kept pulling barley. I need to get my p0087 figured out by next weekend because there is another local fair pull and I am hook:D I will attach pics and video later tonight once I get home from work

1st= Me @ 289ft
2nd=95 cummins 239.4
3rd= 2004 chevy 220ft
4th= 2003 power joke 214ft

Congrats Eric. Did you log any of the runs, may help in figuring out your low rail pressure.

His rail isn't shimmed yet. Sounds like the lift pump is working correctly. My guess is the FPRV.

im curious as to what lift pump you are running???
Click to expand...

Same lift pump used on many deere machines. Commonly found on the powertech 6.8 and used in 4830 sprayers, 9570sts combines and much much more. If you want part numbers let me know. You can choose filters for it from 3 micron all the way up to 30 micron.

Jackson county fair

Another local fair is having a pull this friday and once again there are only two rules. 1. Hitch must be 26" or less. 2. 8500 or 9000 lbs and duals can be run. Basically run what you brung. I have my fprv shimmed and feel I am ready to run again. I dont really want to run the 315s again due to turning but my only other option at this time is to run my 285s. Will it be much of a loss to step down to 285s? Thanks
