The Diesel Cartel's RCSB 6.7 Race/Street Truck Build

[josh@thedieselcartel]

Ok, the jealousy is setting in.

Your not done yet?

 

[Mikeyfitz]

Ooooo it's gonna be so sweet!

 

[CMCx2012]

Gonna be nice!

Why a non adjustable 4-link? if you get that welded in at the wrong angles you can forget ever getting a good launch.

 

[josh@thedieselcartel]

It is adjustable. All 4 bars have a threaded end.

 

[UNBROKEN]

That's not adjustable beyond pinion angle and a couple of other small things after it's welded in. It's considered non-adjustable.

This is an adjustable 4-link...you can move the bars to fully dial in the rear suspension. This is what you want on a drag car.

I see what your saying...However, this will be 90% street use, its 4x4, and won't make more power than 4 tires grabbing will need for a launch.

It still needs to be measured out and set up correctly or you can do more harm than good.
read this...it's a pretty simple explanation.

My biz partner is Miranda Built. Look them up, we got it under control.

Never hurts to mention it....you haven't said it was being built elsewhere. And that's a hot rod shop....so hopefully it'll be close enough for drag racing. Others may be wanting to mimic your build and may not know the difference...we're here to share info, right?
The cars I used to crew on and very occasionally still do were built by Bickel and Haas respectively....I know a thing or 2 about setting up a 4 link. If you don't want me to share just say so....

I didn't mean it like that at all. Constructive input is always welcome. We share a shop, its not being built elsewhere, just using all the collective tools i have at my disposal.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Love this build,can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

[josh@thedieselcartel]

And so it starts. We decided not to pull the cab. Hopefully finish up the turbo and fueler install this week.

�� why not pull the cab?

 

[stevens6.7]

What turbo kit are you running again?

 

[josh@thedieselcartel]

With the extra work and mess of pulling the cab it didn't seem necessary. We don't have a AC capture machine either.

Really wasn't to bad with the cab on so far.


The kit is from H&S. Dual fueler. Turbo kit and low pressure fuel.

Look at that box of junk you had to take off the stock motor. Kick that box in the corner and never look back haha

I thought it all went on fine with the cab on. No complaints here.

Looking good Josh. I like the white. If you can keep it clean, that's going to look good under the hood.
