a quick vid

mandkole · Dec 27, 2013

Forgive the spastic hand on the phone. Never shot a vid of the truck running before, so I thought Id use it to watch the gauges a little closer. A 30 mph rollon up a 3% grade and held it to about 90 or so. In the hot street (140, I guess) file..

I'm seeing 1300* on the egt. FP looks good...good amount of boost...and that ball bearing sound...:naughty: Looks good man!

How is it just drivin around?

mandkole · Dec 27, 2013

it drives great.. the 42 is very responsive when empty and runs very clean. I usually drive it in the 80 file, but it was in the 140 that time. You would have seen just a haze when I first started getting in it and a little puff when it hit OD. When towing, the rpms need to stay up and its dial a boost. Cota did a nice job on it and I didnt have to build it...love this truck.

That turbo sounds sweet! If I ever get around to buying another 7.3, a gtx4294r will be my turbo of choice

I'm always wondering how people can gauge what percentage of a grade their going up

ghohouston · Dec 27, 2013

^ me too, but then again there are no grades in texas, so ive never had to deal with it

Geez... lol. It was an educated guess based on the test track at the hyster/ Yale fork truck development center. 3% is not real steep

the bigger hill's around here are posted so truck drivers know what to expect and can be in the right gear before going down the hill...

I like that setup... seems a little quieter also. Gordo did some good sound damping work, but there are moments when the 42 just sounds like its in cab with you. My FIL said he could hear it 2 blocks away.

I have NO firewall insulation... I have added some tar based insulation to the floor boards from the carpet back, but I removed the firewall insulation after the Green motor popped.

The H2e is pretty quiet, but it has its moments!

I've got a new tune from Tony Wildman that I am interested to see how it does towing. I know driving empty from home this week I was seeing EGT's at 600*-700* at 65-70 which is about 100* lower then I was seeing before.

Still working on some new changes that should get me down a bit more... I have a Billet wheel for the H2e and another "thing"... LOL
