How could it be getting so hot so fast? Unless it's completely plugged that doesn't seem possible?

Its not plugged. I drove it 60 miles. It wasn't a short run. Temps slowly creep up on the e way at 75-80. Simply just not big enough.

So U believe the oil cooler isn't big enough?

how hot does it actually get?

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Apr 18, 2014

He is running a custom air to oil cooler not the factory one just for anyone who was not sure. His air cooler is not sufficient enough to cool the oil. He said it got to like 225 on a short drive.

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Apr 18, 2014

What were the dimensions?

blk350on20s · Apr 18, 2014

It hit 224.5 before I backed it down. I think its 9x4x5. -12 everything.

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Apr 18, 2014

Yeah needs more surface area. Get the biggest one you can fit in the bumper.

Super glad you got it cruising brother! Sounds like it's a monster!

run a line from a hogs mouth, right out her ass, strap her to the bumper, boom, cool oil temps.

*warning she may not be alive at the end of the track.

LOL. That's what I'm talking about.

Stall feels good. Its honestly not all that much different. Truck still likes to go down low. Got grunt even without boost. I think with some logs to Eric and a few adjustments this thing will be ready. Gotta fix a leak at the hot intermediate pipe at the small charger real quick and it should be good to go.

Nitrous, radiator, inner cooler, and some drive train mods get done this weekend along with roll pan, hitch move, and suspension stops.

See, 2700 stall works just fine.

Better have more vids this weekend. Have someone else man the camera too.
