That's not the 5000 RPM hook that he blew the tires off with. That is just after as they reset the sled. (According to John) You see them pull him back into position at the start of that clip.

Great News!

Are there vids of the aborted first pull?

Don't know that I ever heard a Dmax spin 5000 RPM.

I had not posted that one on purpose. I will soon!:D


The good news! My engine's bottomend is fine!:fluffy:

Sean and I took and the caps off and found no damage! we where stumped. I called Jeff (STINGPULLER). He said to check the valvetrain because it sounded to him like I had valves not opening. Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

We pulled the passenger side valve cover off an found that #1 cylinder exhaust valve rocker bridge laying beside the valve springs. The stand that holds the rocker shaft in place broke. Also the rocker shaft was in broke in three peices! Amazing that it caused it to sound like it did.

Good news! So what's the plan now? I know you have something up your sleeve.

And let's hear the 5k...:)

That's good to hear Johnboy. I was a little bit sad if you broke it so soon (first hook, right?) after it was finally back together. Get it fixed quick, I wanna see it in action! :D

So all of that silly "finger-rocker bridge" talk last winter might add up to something?

Yes. More custom stuff!

It is weird that I am happy that my truck is broke!:)
I really thought I cracked the crank.

That sounds SWEET! Too bad the sled didn't move. Speaking of sled, that thing looks cool.

Last question. Who's the hot blonde in the stands at the end of the video? :cool2:
