Progress on the new puller
- Thread starter 05smoker
- Start date
We're hoping next week in Richmond, IN. We are trying to resolve an oil leak on the lower pan that we hope was fixed last night. More importantly we believe we have a loose connection in the harness we need to locate. Would like to hook this weekend but we are bailing hay the next few days.
Thanks for the support everyone!
The truck looks freakin AWSOME. I love the look! If it pulls HALF as good as it looks, you'll still be kickin ass! Looks good guys, keep me posted when/where your pulling, i deffinitly want to be there!

I like the color choice best of all 
Looks good, especially the turbo location, how much fabrication was involved with that

Well Ed I can't really see the hitch real clear, but from what I can make out, it's one ugly a$$ hitch. Possibly the ugliest one I've ever seen.

Didn't you see me taking pics of yours when I was at Brayden's?
R&D at its finest!
why the oil leak? have you found it yet?
so are you going to make a huge 1 piece intake runner
or have you allready? you guys did a excellent job!

Leaking from back of lower pan. Either RTV applied sloppy or pan is distorted from the wreck (donor truck was wrecked). We have a new application of RTV that has been curing for the past 24+ hours so we'll know this weekend for sure. Need to chase a loose connection in the harness and then work on the tuning.
Intake tube is built. Drops straight down off air knife.
hope it was just the RTV
i was more talking about the intake runners connected to the heads and new Y bridge.....gotta filler with something now that the turbo is gone

Maybe another turbo
Nothing in the plans now. It is nice to have room to work on the fuel system.
i dont know but i think that a banks intake manifold painted orange like the truck would look dam good under there dont know if it would do much to help with anything but sure would look good
Nice lookin and sounding truck guys! Can't wait for a video of it pulling! Kinda sounds like an old pullin tractor!
This is now the least of our concerns. Found what looks like piston material in the oil filter. Sounds like the motor is coming back apart unless some miracle that we're overlooking. I think we have injector issues as well.
Still not sold on switching to the 11.5 rear as well for now. I know it is stronger but the aftermarket is there for the old 14 bolt and you make it damn stout with the right parts. FYI, this was a turbocharged 6.0 before it was a dmax.

Sorry to hear the bad news
Hope its not something serious
Thanks guys - just feel demoralized right now.
I recommend this filter below to anyone building a motor. It is very easy to inspect and clean and we were amazed out how well it worked on our first few startups. Hopefully it helped us catch a problem before it became an even bigger problem.
