Yeah. He's also an army guy so he's got that cocky yes sir no sir thing going on too. Pretty annoying lol so is 8.6 about right for a mildly built duramax?
Well I got roped into working tonight. Got a call 3:00pm from customer that one of his properties flooded and he needed the basement pumped out. No big pumps left to rent or buy in town. We got 6 small ones from the shop. My truck way on the left of the pic would of been sitting in 2' of water.
Waters down 3' from where we started.
They just got done spending $2 million replacing the chillers and a bunch other components in the basement. All of it is trash now.

Did you just post "down 3 FEET"?!?!?!?!
And there's still that much? Holee shit!
Oh, here's another name I remember from long ago....rolloffhill. IIRC, he was in Conroe. Wonder what he is up to nowadays.

Yep it was at the top of the door when we started. I would guess the basement was full so 12' of water. The sumps in the basement must have dropped the water 3'-4' before they gave up. They estimated there was over 1,000,000 gallons of water in the basement when we got here. I'm guessing we are pumping 1000gals a minute.
This building is right next to a bayou that looks like it was 4' over the banks. Several flooded house over here too.

Roll was in DFW I think. TXChristopher the guy who sued GM and won for the LLYs overheating is here. His buddies Rttoys, and Leadfootduramax. There is also a guy by the name of Dangerous Duramax among a few other of us that used to get it together if you times a year. Life happens though when we all lost touch. These are all guys from the glory days of Diesel place. We all got together for the first time I think when the Diesel place traveling jug was making the rounds.

1,000,000 gallons of water is a whole bunch. At 1,000 GPM initial thats a long time. How much will those pumps drop off as suction increases or head increases?
Where in Houston is that? I bet there are a lot of buildings around town that need pumping out. Several hospitals I think. Don't really know since we stopped watching the news Tuesday when we left the house.

1000 was just my best guess with past experiences not the pumps ratings. I don't trust those ratings for much. There are to many variable that affect the rating. Like how much trash is coming out with this water slowing the pump down. Took 19 hrs to mostly drain the building.
This building is across the street from Brays Bayou. We have some building to pump out in the Energy Corridor north of Barker Reservoir.

Yeah there is a lot of water to move in Houston. Stay safe dealing with all of this stuff. I know you treat all of the water like raw sewage to keep safe.
Sewage... ya some people can't seem to wrap there head around the fact this isn't like pumping rainwater off job sites like we normally do.

No, a max effort tune/trans/lift pump truck will run 8.0s-8.1s easily. That's ccsb and assuming healthy fuel system.
Took this jack plate apart for a customer so he can replace the motor. He said he didn't have the right tools to take it apart. I figured out he didn't have a torch to heat the 1/2" stainless flat head bolts so the loctite would release, that's some good stuff!
What you making there?
Got this heap in my shop. Typical 47RH violently locking and unlocking. Already has the noise cancelling wire for the converter so I adjust the throttle cable for the trans shift and I'm gonna try that out next tonight. Little side cash never hurts!
