With all the pictures I have of fixing mess on my truck, I don't really have any new ones lately. I did get this here Videa Camera and been goofing around with applying captions to the videa.

I hope this counts.

Sorta put together a step-by-step of a base-line being established at the 8th mile track with the trans shifting automatically (no OD).

If you've got a good videa-card and monitor that can play it, this videa is one of them fancy HD types. In the YouTube window, once you start the videa, set the resolution to high (1080 HD), then make the videa go full-screen (you may have to right-click the videa and view it directly from YouTube for full screen. Not sure).

You can see the truck's front come-up a little on go. Just a little.

You can see the Tach go to 2100 ~ 2200rpm in staging, then to to 3200 ~ 3300rpm when it shifts to the next gear. It looks to me like it drops back to 2800rpm with the next gear. It's wound-up to perhaps 3400 ~ 3500rpm at the top of the pass.

If you look close in the passenger's rear-view mirror, you can see the light smoke.



I wasn't aware the turbos sounded like that winding down. (The camera is about 10" in front of the open, split rear window. The temporary stack is in the very front/right corner of the bed).

 

It says the video is private when I click on it....

 

Yea same can't watch it

 

Thanks David you tell us all about it get us all worked up and then we can't watch it. That just ain't fair.

 

Sorry about that. Try it now.

 

Nice video. It would be nice to be able to play it back after a run and watch the gauges. It's kind of hard to watch them and drive at the same time.

fun fast not fast fast. It's got a mild 360 gas and 5 speed. 1/4 I haven't run with the 360 but at least 13's over 100MPH tops out over 140MPH and it turns and stops better than any truck should, better than most cars. It's fun not wild still gets 17 MPG so it's derivable too.

 

Hey Darwin,

When we going to see those stacks? That thing will look pretty sweet with em. Are the mud tires just for the winter or did you get rid of the geolanders all together?

 

My daughter needed a (better) set of tires and i (needed) to get them off my truck sooooooooowe traided, they do great on her Z71.

i will throw up a pic in the morning, after i take one in the daylight.

today was the 1st time i towed with mine- i towed my buddy's 73 dart sport. I had the car almost all the way to the front of the trailer and my truck sat perfectly level. I guess that's what having 10 leaves in a spring pack will do

 

Nice!!!!! I want to restore the 77 in my sig eventually right now its sitting in my yard rusting from neglect I sure as heck miss driving that ol rig had some of the best times of my life in that thing!

 

Wow... Color matched vehicles...... Is there a cummins in that dart ?
