What are we doing wrong?

First have Matt try and change shirts, everytime I see him he's wearing the same damn shirt.
I've talked to him quite a bit and the truck is set up very well. Has he went with actual axle blocks instead of the pins though the leafs. If not I'd think the suspension is sagging more than 1" therefore loosing hitch height. Stupid question but with some of the wire rub issues with e-lockers are you guys sure it is working? Other than that I think the truck is setup great and he done a great job. I'd definately get a different tune in it that is designed for the new turbo. Even though I pull against him I really hope he gets it figured out because he's got a setup that should very easily run up front consistently. Good luck guys.
Also I just keep my rears at 55psi and fronts at 23psi.

He shouldn't have hit 4th, that's when it started to bog. It's better to let it run hard in 3rd than hit 4th unless you have the power to pull hard in 4th. He could also try to downshift as soon as RPMs start to drop to get those last few feet.
Hey thanks for the response guys and the compliments duramaximizer and 04llygmc
I offered to tune it for him or help him tune it when he went to Danville, but for some reason he thought the tune he had was good enough. LOL :cool2:
He always acts like his truck don't need no help from a Buckeye.
I think 3rd gear would be the ticket there and if you need more fuel a mod'd reg would probably get you there as well as some fuel pressure table tweaks.

Do u have atleast 1 vidoe of your hook it may just be driver error. We may be able to see vidoe and tell u what wrong with it
hey guys just getting rdy to leave for another pull we pulled last night with a new tune was able to run 4k rpm in 3rd gear on a hard pack clay track. Pulled within 4ft or a dually Cummins that beats us week in and week out but his truck is much hotter than ours so it not so bad keeps us hungry. As far as video goes on page 2 there is a link to my MYSPACE it has 2 videos of Matt pulling will DL more tomorrow after we pull tonight. I agree with you Steve he should get an LLY cant wait until we lower mine back down going to run 33x12.50 with 4:56 gears I wanna run 4th gear I think thats where its at and get a cheetah for my LLY like yours:hug: LAters!

I was able to grab 4th in both classes at warsaw. I need to get me one of those thingys that make both front tires go
. Wouldn't be talking about a green and silver dodge would you?
Yup green and silver that would be the one. He calls it Second hand Smoke. He beat us by 35ft last friday then we turned around and beat him Sat night by 10ft. Thursady night we lost by 4 ft to him and then this Fri we lost by 10ft. We find that on hard pack clay tracks the Truxus STS actuall y work better than on a loose track:rofl: Go figure. Also we are going to to run the stock charger tune on hard tight tracks and the aftermarket charger tune for loose tracks. The stock charger tune is a out the hole mid range running tune. The truck makes tons of power and seems to get it to the ground great that way especially if it in a pull when the transfer is terrible or when the transfer is setup tight to begin with. The aftermarket charger tune dosent come out of the hole as hard but just thrashes from 3k rpms to 4k. We ran the rears up to 60 #s seems to help as well. We actually snuffed the charger tonight in 3rd gear the sled pulled very reasonable until the transfer got all the way up and then it was just stopping trucks instantly came on way way to hard!
Only if the LBZ has aftermarket pistons or pistons from an LLY or LB7. LBZ pistons are junk :coal:
