Off Season Sled Pulling Mods

[Rhall]

I DD my G8 - roughing it I know.

I quit back in 07 before I blew up my 05 that I was paying $660/mo and counted on to get me to work everyday. Had I not found the 02 for a steal, I would have quit long ago.

And there are days I wish I had never found the 02.

You should take a ride in Tims pro charged G8. By far my favorite car, nothing like rolling up to mustangs and camaros and smoking them with a 4 door.

I drive a 2003 Saab Vector and on good days I ride the Duc. When the car is broke too, I have to resort to a 2001 Expedition and spend the big bucks for gas.

Ok I have to know. What do you guys have for a DD now that ur dmax is a puller? I think I'd miss driving it to much to if I turned my truck into one...

Made our first hook last night, looks like weve got some clutch adjustment to do and some weight to move around.

Rob, for the sake of time, are you just going to put modified stock pistons back in it so you don't have to rebalance the rotating assembly?? Or are the forged pistons the same weight as stock units??

Well heres my new mod.

Ouch Rob, sorry to see that!

Getting the Forged from guy, so they are good to put in since he balanced my motor and knows what it was balanced at. They should be here wenesday, and maybe a test hook saturday since im changing some things.

 

[SmokeShow]

gotcha. Good to know the forged units can be made to be the same weight as the stockers. For some reason I thought they were a bit heavier.

Good luck! :thumb:
