It's not red and white, but white and grey with traction bars. And yes, I'm still running a VE pump....for now anyways. I was there last weekend, but I didnt bring the truck. I'm sure I will have it there again next year....

Tank.. looks like its time for some injectors....
NeedMoPower's truck has a set of DDP injectors.. they are a one off set.. but we don't know the size, as they were taking out of another truck... Normally when the turbos get going... it cleans up....

My one and only pull with that truck. Now I am looking for another Not bad for weighing in at just a hair over 7000lbs, road tires, 2 of which (the fronts) were bald. If you can get past a couple of DMax's and the overvalver, I then take my turn. I tried to start in 3rd lo but the stock clutch just wouldn't let me

Yeah the stock clutch is no good for pullin. I pull 1st high or 2nd high. The old trucks dont do to bad, weigh they down and they just keep going. JDGnut I have a set of p.o.d's and the stage 4 really cleans it up. I pulled last night in 2nd high but when I stoped 270feet the pyro was just coming off 1500, need water

Me to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH2MyyENiXg Started in 2nd low and then went to 3rd but could not shift down to second becose of valve prob on the Manual shift on the Allison AT545. still pulled 269ft and out did most all 2nd and 3rd gen trucks. Still have the VE with 3200gsk but linkage is worn out after 500K miles and would not give full rpm unless it was set to idle realy high and I could not make it stop while in gear with it idleing that high. I had my baby 295 BFG A/T's on for pulling insted of the 38x15.50's.
