Got to hook today. Track was pretty tight, it was an 8000# class. Didn't have the fuel for 3rd low. We both tried





This is the 8700# class. Ran 1st high side. Pic below is what popped.







We have about 2 turns left on the power screw, will try that tomorrow.

 

And those selectro's are real cheap. NOT. Good first hook. I hope you are having fun. You sure put in a lot of time. Been watchin the build up.

 

There not stock hubs are they??? i don't remember out 90 having that thing that stuck out to turn.

Good pulls though ,needs some bigger injectors for more smoke. muhahah

howd the water to air i/c work out???

 

My 89 has those hubs. I believe they switched some time during the 90 year.

 

Time for a set of slugs.

 

^^^ Where do I get these? Need some. Been looking, PM me.

Thanks guys, it was fun. Everything worked good, just not enough smoke.

The water to air IC seems to work great. The intake pipe at the head was cool to the touch right after 2 runs. Hard to watch it all, but never saw the pyro over 1400*, 45 psi boost.
Yes, definitely need the EDM's. Soon, very soon.

 

Yeah 1400* is way to cool on a pull truck

Nice hooks

 

Only 45psi ??

LIke all together? I would of thought that setup would of made like 60psi but i guess thats because of the 4x12's

 

Looks like ground shakin' parts breakin' good fun!

Are you running the bus heater in the intercooler setup?

 

I have never seen a selectro, what does it do? Are they worth getting?

 

Yeah, Troy it is the bus heater core in there. We are short some fittings to have the ideal setup, but will have them soon. Right now the hot water is getting dumped back onto the ice, and it melts really fast. Will have it setup with a coolant loop and then the core submersed in ice water. 2 separate fluids.

The Selectro's were on it when we got it, pretty sure this is an early '89, probably left overs or something. They were common on the older 1 tons. I think the lock-out was probably not what it once was. The other didn't bother. Even though you can see where is turned a little on the hub, removing all the slack from the bolt holes.

Anyways we ran the power screw up to the verge of runaway, and tried it again. Survived 4 more hooks.

I think we ended up 3rd in the 8500 Diesel, and 2nd in the Open class. The film crew was a little optimistic with their seating choice.

The extra fuel helped, went 250' in the diesel class. Hit 1500* this time.



Went like 215' in the open:



This is the guy who won the Open class. '67 6x6, snapped a drive shaft.



So how did we fix the lockout? Don't laugh, it held. We also had a shield in place, just in case. The aluminum part was all that broke. There were 2 steel collars in there, and you can see the rest. Coming soon is a home brewed drive flange setup, without welding

 

Looks good. Next you'll be breaking the baby 1 1/4" 30 spline front outer axle shafts. Before you homebrew your 30 spline flanges, you might buy the 35 spline 1.5" outers and fab a 35 spline hub flange.

 

I am sure they will snap soon, but for now they hold. If I were not able to make the 30's for free I would upgrade to 35's now.

 

This guy makes 35 Spline, external drive flanges for the early Dodge 60's
