cknox121's slow build

Sahrens0202 · Apr 12, 2015

I measured and then marked off the rear cab mounts. I kinda made it so the bars were as extended as the directions say minus a couple inches for a safety factor.

When I did mine I kept the same angle as the driveshaft.

That's what I did. IIRC they are designed to follow shaft angle

Mine are too, I just eyeballed it to the drive shaft but measured off the cab mounts so both sides were exact.

I haven't had any issues with mine being the same angle add the drive shafts. Truck pulling, hauling over 30k , and hauling fire wood out of the woods a few times with zero issues.

I wonder when ouo came out with the cast mounts? Everyone I have talked has the regular flat plate mounts.

I don't know. Maybe call Jared? I know it needs to take some abuse because I had the regular bushings on first and they only lasted about 100miles. The HD ones have 23k and counting.

What's a guess at HP with the 75/59 and 60% nozzles? I have yet to put it on the rollers or take to the track. Scared to break anything lol.

Morgan dynoed a customers truck at 810 on Randall's dyno i believe.

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · May 6, 2015

800+ was on DP tuners dyno. By the track times and other dyno by similar setups we have had from multiple customers 760-770 range.

Stock housing chargers seem to max out at 775ish.

Sweet. Maybe one day I can get some track/dyno time

Just a minor update...as some may know, I was having a time getting a decent trans tune. Banging 3-4 and super firm converter lock ups. Anyways, long story short, after many tune revisions I was finally able to get a decently drivable trans tune from both tuners. Other day I was driving, pull out and gassed it to beat a car and the trans freaked out. Shift flared, banging a couple gears and finally found home in 4th TC locked. Wrench light and all sorts of others came on. Pulled over and shut it off, and everything cleared. Did another hard pull and same thing. Checked to trans fluid and it doesn't smell or look burn. Thinking it may be a solenoid... Will at Rudys has been more then helpful to me on this build and he said not to worry, he will get me taken care of. I'm going to park it till I have time to yank the trans and send it in. Will probably go ahead and make it a stage 3/4/5 depending on how much coin is in the bank.
