Went racing, So-So time

[TIM Z]

Finally got to the track, had fun but..


Well, im glad after my lift and sleeves installed the front end stayed together!

I only had 3 runs, all mild 4x4 launches. Truck at FULL street weight( spare tire, tail gate, 295-70-17 tires not aired down ,me at 310 LBS)

All runs about 1/8 mile i piopped the damn 0087 codes

Managed a 13.8 at 101 with a soft 1700 rpm launch and terrible 2.1 60ft

Gotta get this 0087 figured out.

Truck just fell on its face after popping the code.

Also man it gets busy trying to stage, build boost and watch the tree when your brakes dont want to hold ya.

Heres a run down on my 0087 issue

I have 3 shims in my FPRV, cranked as tight as i could get it.

It passed the bottle test .

Fuel filter is 2 motnts old/1500 miles . Lift pumps seem to be working fine.

Any ideas appreciated!

Want to get in the 12's!!!!!

But racing is fun though!

[JD Dave]

Nice runs, your mph is the same as mine and I'm running 13.1's.

Cool to know

Yep Kat , its all about having fun!! Got to hang out with some fellow Dmaxes and a DD's member :cool2:

Yep, its too much fun Jeff!

My dad and Bro both have Drag cars ( 55 chevy glass /tube chassis car and a 69 RS camaro) I just need practice in this big truck and the 0087 figd out.

Leaving off the transbrake in my dads 55 is too easy!!

Didnt Log, only had my V2 with me, Let my brother use my laptop

nice times!

about 100,000 miles back my lbz was throwing the 0087 all the time. clean filter, old filter didnt matter.
dealer did a reprogram on the pcm and it hasnt done it since.

I'd have to pull the receipt out if you need more info

 

[Big Block 88]

Good deal Tim. Get 0087 figured out and you definatley have what it tkes to hit a 12.

Please do:hug:I had someone call me on a completely stock truck they have tried everything and it still comes back. Maybe start a new thread with the info so we don't high jack Tim's thread.

 

[TIM Z]

No worries Kat, 0087 solutions would be great here or somewhere!

 

[lotsofmiles]

I'll scan in the receipt tonight.

maybe someone else can make sense of it. a friend of mine took his lbz to the same dealer for the same problem. get someone different and they didnt know what a pcm reprogram was

Some smaller tires would probably get you down the track a little quicker too. Nice times though for your first runs man!

 

[SteveFord]

Not bad at all for the first time out and a lifted truck. You'll get a 12 second pass out of it when you get you fuel issues fixed and your 60ft's down. Congrats.

I hate to be the dickhead, but.................

How much fuel was in the tank???

 

[Diesel Pilot]

That's a really good start Tim, especially with a lifted truck.

What track were you running at?

Its a bumpy SOB after the 1/8 mile

The ony times I got the nasty code was with a 1/4 tank of fuel... Some reason my truck doesnt like it that low. I put 1/2 tank and, clred the code and couldnt get it to come back on...
Had only 1500-2000 miles on my filter and the first time I put McRats tune in and I threw the nasty code. First time to throw some smoke also, so I changed the filter and havent had the code since and had several WOT now.

I personally think its the quality of fuel sometimes at the gas stations and their underground tanks...Just havta change the filter sooner than at other times.
but im still learnin
