the smoke comin from the fender was blow-by when ya turn 5k rpm usually get a little. Stoopid truck didn't pull worth a darn, it's just to light(6800lbs) I think we got the power, just need the weight transfer, and suspension stops like Lynn's truck. If I get her dialed in should be a beast....

Hell Buck, your truck weighs 500 pounds more than mine! Wish I could of made it last week, but I was putting a new pump on and dropped the washer down the front cover about an hour before we were supposed to leave. Went all the way down into the pan.... Looked like I was playing Plinko on The Price is Right.

There's an antique tractor pull in Valley Mills on Oct 20th. I'm almost positive we'll be there since it's so close to home if they let trucks pull. After Valley Mills, project "full pull" will begin.

Not to mention finding the broken timing case housing...

Buck.. the No weights.. just means no weights out front???? Should be able to run them in the bed.. I would think... You won't have a chance at 6800lbs against the heavier trucks... Lynn's truck usually weighs about 7400lbs... with no added weight..

Buck, what are you taking to Houston???

We'll be out of town for Priddy.. and in Houston the following week.. (no Truck) but plan to be in Valley Mills the following week with the truck... \

Edit:.. Wow.. just watched the clip.. that place is looking nice.... I can't wait to see two sleds running there....

Yes sir the track is nice well lite and lots of room, the speakers need work but it's shaping up. As far as houston goes, I think I'm bringing big red,ol green, and the gray truck, just don't think I'll have the drive shaft loops done. We'll see, should be a good ole time anyways.....

Man, I had a good time,...enjoyed Bs' with you guys.

I got a guy to shoot some video when I pulled, He was zoomed in on the truck mostly but in the first attempt you can tell the weight box is headin' my direction purdy fast. I stopped on the first try,....too high of gear. Second run had it in 3rd gear. I spilled some white primer on the inside dual while painting the frame so you can see there's plenty on wheel speed and the mud flap is catchin hell from the heavy luged tires.
All that buckin' in the cab will just about lift your foot off the gas reguardless(sp) of effort to keep it pressed

T-800 Vid

The hitch height for big truck is only 18",....didn't know that

If work will allow, I'll try and make it.
I need to make another trip after a sea container down by the Houston ship channel so maybe the Houston fun pull on sat. (which ever weekend that is) might be the bedder shot.
