It begins!
- Thread starter farmtrucklb7
- Start date
I got accepted onto the BD race team, I think I am the only Duramax, not alot of love from the dodge guys but I'm excited to represent the duramax crowd , I'm going to the gator nationals in Florida on the 23rd, only as a spectator, my truck will be ready but that's alot of miles to put on a new set-up, I would hate to get stranded! http://www.facebook.com/pages/BD-Race-Team/513977008640734
Nice. I hope your truck turns out well as you'll have some pretty good competition in psd.
Its going some time to get it dialed in for sure. It will be hitting the rollers when I get back to see where I'm at for now
Monday the angle of the cold side piping will be the same angle as the hot side. Been very busy on the farm, should be running very shortly
The truck was very close, and then it went backwards, spent the last month chasing mistakes and shortcuts done by the previous owner. Here's a picture of the wires that we pulled out, keep in mind it has all the same electronics as it did before, fans, water pump, locker and lift pump
^ all the wires removed.
wires on left, new harness on the right. Hard to believe it didnt burn, pictures don't do it justice.
The duel fueler wasn't even close to being aligned, it was running with half the belt on, 2 pinched off fuel lines, was set so low it would cause the truck to drain the rails. No MAF, bolt missing from the bellhousing, every hose that was added, fuel or coolant looked like a 2 year old had cut them, alot of them didn't have a hose clamp. Oil return for the valley charger wasn't done up, sprayed oil every where. I know I am forgetting alot. I just want to thank Motorhead Garage ( Cam and Kirk ) for all the hard work they have been throwing into the truck, Can finally see the light at the end tunnel.

Got it saftied today ! finally.. have loops and wieght rack left to do and should be headed to the first pull next friday!
Got the tunes on from Mark today, this is more then I have ever expected, never being for a ride in a built motor truck I'm sure has alot to do with it, never the less, skating across the road in 4wd is an amazing feeling. less then 15 feet and the charger lights hard, TDV seems to work great! but time will tell how it holds up. running a 74-87-1.25 housing, it is very streetable considering it has a very low stall. should have some dyno #'s shortly
I apologize for the poor quality but Finally got the truck dyno'd https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151708419906348&set=vb.506101347&type=2&theater
Very happy with marks tuning, as well as the BD850r & diverter valve. That pull was on my "700"hp tune, it drained the rails on the big tune, only made 750, Need to get some more fuel to the front:thumb:

I'd be interested in seeing how the 1.25 housing runs. As far as rpms down the track, how well it hangs in there at lower r's, etc....
Havent been on here for awhile, finally starting to get it dialed on, if anyone is interested have a few things up on the BD race team page https://www.facebook.com/pages/BD-Race-Team/513977008640734
How are you liking the diverter valve? Is there any extra restriction when it's fully open? Are you monitoring drive pressure? Thanks.
