This truck has fought you the whole way, damn.

WTF did you do???
...a 35psi boosted launch or somethin?

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Mar 9, 2013

Left right as the boost was coming up on 15psi. I hit the lockup switch a touch to early and it started to hop. By the time I let off the damage was done. Fixed the axle and did new u joints in both sides. But the front diff sounds BAD and the trans seems as if the reverse hub is broken. Time for a billet one

Not trying to derail your thread but is the lockup switch written into your tune or is it something you have to wire up in the truck?

It's wired into the truck. hit the switch, converter locks up. Only for the track. Throws a bunch of codes and easy to break stuff... which I found out the hard way last night

Just saw your thread in the tech section so I thought I'd check back over here. Damn, I'd definitely say you snapped something in the trans. Good times though

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Mar 10, 2013

Yeah we're pulling it apart Tuesday. No big deal to pull it out lol. Hoping its just. Broken low/reverse hub. Truck still moves and drives but the front diff is definitely chewed up too so going to pull that apart Tuesday and take a look

Maybe just the spiders broke then just weld em up:thumbsup:

Not a good idea.

probably getting paid at work to post this from my bionic

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Mar 10, 2013

Uhh yeah welded front diff in a pickup... Great idea LOL

ford rules · Mar 10, 2013

Just make things interesting

imp:

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Mar 10, 2013

I think truetracs will be a better not so interesting option. I'll leave the welded diff nonsense to my drift car...

ford rules · Mar 10, 2013

Ya truetracs are the way to go, although my DD has had a welded rear diff for close to 2 yrs now.
Whens the trans comming back out?

MorganY · Mar 10, 2013

Best of luck. Let us know what you find.

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Mar 10, 2013

Tearing it apart Tuesday then ordering parts. Hopefully have it done by the weekend

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Mar 11, 2013

so while the truck is down I've been thinking on how I can make the engine bay look real nice... not sure if I want to coat the piping or leave it raw right now. Think I should get the compressor housing polished? Next project is to loom everything nice and make this thing look good so I can pop the hood... and not be embarrassed LOL. bring on the suggestions. Also hoping to have a custom intake elbow and cold side pipe made in stainless when Craig gets his CNC machine!

SSpeeDEMONSS · Mar 11, 2013

Why not a No Limit cold side pipe?

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Mar 11, 2013

Because I'd rather wait until Craig can build me a stainless setup. The banks was on the truck when I got it... Clearly why this truck makes power. It's pretty extreme LOL
