Have any ideas about why your truck is so squirrelly Jim? Sure seems to be making good power, but it sure looks like it's a somewhat organized chaotic dance down the track! :rofl: How's your rear hitch setup? Think it's planting the rear hard enough? lifting the front too much?



Is the OBS chevy a dmax? It didn't sound like a chummins to me in this latest video? :confused:

it is an LBZ duramax built by the Beetz brothers from Mendota, IL. damn good running truck to say the least.

Damn I would of guess 6.5. Lol. Beetz's truck runs pretty good but it looks like it's got some more left in it. Maybe it's just me but it doesn't smoke much for a 3.0 truck.

Not really an off season mod but new none the less. Weight box/ice water tank/intake lol!

Here's my last hook of the year. Blown up pipe just past 300' mark. Notice the little flame coming out the stack. It never did this until I installed the a/w intercooler???? Not sure if its good or bad, but it looks damn cool!

Yes i am super impressed with how Mat has done for only 3 passes in the truck! Thanks those equal length headers really work in the upper rpms. I find they spool quite easy as well.!

we pull hard,,, gotta have some recovery time lol,,,, Really you'll find some indoors but not to dang many. I'm glad we get an off season kinda to regroup, rest and go through the trucks. I'm starting on my project truck finally so this ol girl is a new build and we have more parts for the white WS truck coming to.
some of my parts on the tailgate waiting on the engine to come out,,,

Still checking out all the damages.:roflmao: I some how managed to bend my front diff bracket, so the last 2 times i pulled, it completely broke the front housing into. I got a few plans this winter, not many tho... I would like to run some modded cp3s in 2012, my stock lmms were draining pretty good this year.
