The track distance will depend on ride height. A arm front suspension changes width throughout the stroke so it will depend how low or how high you set it. The lower, the wider
"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?
- Thread starter Hot COCOAL
- Start date
Yeah, it is...but it was always a time bomb before...sooo
I'm having a hell of a time trying to get out of it with the new loan the wife took out of it to pay for the parts to get it running...
Who knows, Maybe I'll have another go at it, I've technically got a clean slate and alot more (well kinda a little more) understanding and definitive goal
I'd build the trans and assemble the most of the engine myself too
Oh Yeah?My truck would out run it

So, does "your wife" still want an auto?
That's a damn good point!
I bet from cranked to relaxed the total track width changes 4"
Started the truck for the first time since the beginning of October. Let it run for a bit, then rolled it back in the garage. Slowly gathering parts...
Test drove the lml sc/lb today.. It was wild, if everything goes well, ill be getting it tomorrow. Will post pics!
Details on turbo and fueling in the truck? I believe the converter in my LBZ with GT4094R is too tight.

Fueling is all stock CP3 and injectors has lift pump and a 400rwhp tow tune
Turbo is a GT4088R with a T3 .83 AR waste gated, (side note id run smallest T4 housing normally Mark @danvile hooked me up with an old 3788 power max housing and machined it for a 4088)
housing with DYI home made 4" intake, OEM down pile and 4" straight pipe
According to the Coker test.. I'm ~ .3 seconds behind stock on 0-20psi spool up on a standing flat footed start with stock TC and 3.73 gears haven't retest with 4.56 or new TC
Couple performance test

Those low gears with that small of tire make sense for why you need a tighter converter. The damn truck would shift into 3rd before the converter ever coupled. Lol!

I'd run this TC with stock gearing as well following video truck had Stock turbo, 3.73 with 32" tires

It would shift to 4th before it would lock
Only thing I noticed with gear swap TC wise... Stall point dropped ~200 rpm with the lower gears... TC saw less load due % of the load had been transferred off the transmission.... Same thing happens between running high/low side if the Tcase
Turbo performance didn't change it still came on about 17-1800 wasn't fully singing till 2100, then whole then took off.. With the new TC, I can't blow through the TC at 2800 rpms now.. Which I've done both with 3.73 and 4.56 gears
Camshaft power band falls off drastically under 17-1800.. Basically found out by what rpm I could lay into the throttle and there truck doesn't accelerate.. Sweet spot is 19-2000 rpm both with LMM and LBZ camshaft.. LBZ comes on about 100-150rpm sooner..
Tuning also plays about how well turbo comes on as well

Time for another lift pump...this one died on 77 south of Charleston right before the hills..
Nice thing about internally regulated. Pull plunger and spring... Instant bypass the pump itself.......
Really want a georotor style pump

Alright, I grew up near there watching shuttle launches! So cool to see
