Well on the tractor we have some bent pushrods (all but one) and a beat up piston. Also getting the turbo redone as it had too much play in it.

Bent pushrods

]

Pushrod not even touching rocker



Beat up #4 piston. Still don't know what did it, only cylinder that got beat.



Head is in good shape

I'm not exactly sure you want to be at the first one. PM me after you see I get it running and I'll let you know. If I have it running in Uxbrige that's a good pull to attend as there is lots of good classes there.

Dave have you got the truck running yet? I've been looking for your videos on youtube and haven't been able to find any recent ones. Can't wait to see it run!

Not here 15 days until we hook again:thumb:

I shipped Tuesday but I can't find the label. I remember Friday just not which one...I'll keep looking :D

Im not sure I could handle that. I need a break by the time October rolls around!
Don't worry about tracking. Actually forgot about it till I read that....

What are the cc/lb guys running for a beefy rear driveshaft? Any body have any specs? Just a heavier wall tube and have the local driveshaft shop build you a new one?

I just had a 4 " steel shaft made with 1480's and it stood up to everything I through at it.

Just call mark @ Greensburg driveline and get one made with 1480s minimum so you can grow into them and not have to buy a new shaft evey time you up your power level, at competive 2.6 power level id recommend 1550s, we wernt getting many pulls outta 80s. who ever in your area that was makin ondos shafts all summer was not getting the job done!
