Ah. Thought he was talking of how the previous owner "built" the truck. I guess I'd be pretty pissed off too.
Wonder how this guy even worked on trucks ? I imagine him with a hammer and a crescent wrench with multiple tabs of "how to" and DYI threads opened on a laptop.
Yep got royally screwed. Never see that money again. Truck doing great now, my only worries is the Trans cause I'm not entirely sure if its legit inside of not. But I've drove it and gave it some hell in my higher tunes and it hasn't shown any signs of anything bad. **knock on wood**
Here is a video of spool up on my truck. Cruising at 55mph or so and mat it. If I roll into it it will spool faster. Gets a little sputter if I mat it also, which you can hear. This is my dd tune, 1300us and 13° timing, 180mpa.
Top is atmo, middle is total, bottom is going to be drive, haven't hooked it up yet.

Latest items, had to rebuild my brand new 366 already, redid the feed lines in the process. Thrust bearing was going out fast.
Need to redo my downpipe and go back to the stack, the side of my truck stays clean for about one day, then it is soot city, plus it smells bad all the time.

had a thought about something, would like to hear some opinions on it.
After I lost a 366 at the track I realized how lucky I was that the oil feed line had a restrictor installed, because it could have easily pumped oil into the intake and caused a runaway. instead it didn't even leak a drop off oil, even with the shaft destroyed and basically an open hole into the cartridge.
so considering I have three turbos and that air shut offs are stupid expensive, I had the idea of rigging a couple oil feed shut off valves. they would be cable actuated from the cab. thought being that if I were to lose a turbo I could kill oil to it and reduce the chances of a runaway. it would probably kill the other turbos, but rebuilds are cheap and easy compared to a built motor.
obviously this is not the best way, but like I said a few air blades are crazy expensive and take up a ton of room. I haven't seen this discussed before and maybe the chances of a blown turbo causing a runaway are very slim, but I am interested in hearing some thoughts on it.

if you get enough oil in the intercooler before you notice a run-away, its still going to run for a while till enough oil burns off in the intercooler. the air blade is the quickest way to kill the motor.
i thought i read somewhere on how someone made a cheap one off an intercooler pipe

that is true, and the likelihood of a blown turbo causing a runaway is quite slim, was just something on my mind.

so I'm considering putting the truck back to stock and selling it off. the wife just got a new car and I have pretty much lost interest in beating on my stuff. since I moved I am a good drive from the track and don't really drive it on the street much anymore anyway. the truck is worthless on the street in anything other than the dd tune, and even that will roll the tires off at any speed under 50.
soooo gonna start looking for a complete engine and trans to swap in. I think I will get more money by parting it out than selling it whole.

That's kind of crappy, but understandable. At least the buyer would know coming from you that everything is right and no more half assed work to worry about
Everyone is bailing out...
Glad I sold my lb7 before the dozen that are now listed in my area hit the market. What in the hell is going on???
