6.4 pull truck mild build

sootie · Jan 14, 2014

Nice truck. we need a 6four in Ontario to rep the ford crowd a bit. Last season Chris didn't pull his 7.3 I don't think and I didn't see any other ford's in pro street.

Yeah I skipped this past season. Twin trucks for sure.

Chris pulled his 7-3 at the beggining of the season. But Cory was drivin it to Belleville an some sh** Luck happened. It's back in an running now, excited to see it. I still have a soft spot for 7-3's after my last truck.

Hey man did you pull at Fergus this year? I'm pretty sure I remember meeting you in the pits after your pull

Looks like fun. Btw with turbos removed cab on, you don't have to lift the cab at all to get engine out.

If you need anything feel free to check the website or call, I've pulled a 6.4 once..
www.midwestdieselauto.com.

Thanks i might actually try that way instead of lifting the cab, i was emailing your shop last week about piston and cam set ups ill be looking to order as soon as i get the motor out, thanks for the help.

good choice going with Morgan for engine parts, he is a standup dude and will treat you right.

your truck is sooo clean-i love it. didn't you throw a code or something at Fergus? for some reason i think you didn't repull correct?

devdiesel · Jan 14, 2014

I think it puked a bit, or was that just the crew cab? I think more trucks broke that night than didn't

Yep it stalled out at the end and threw a wrench code, first time pulling with a 6.4 and i wasnt familiar with them yet so i opted to turn down the 2nd hook, learned after about 3 pulls how to ease out of the throttle at the end of the pull to keep it from stalling out lol

Thought maybe it had puked but i think it was just some grease/oil left over from the headstud job the week before the pull, didnt lose any coolant in the bottle in the last 8 months, the crew cab on the other hand lost almost all its coolant i think along with the fire under the hood lol

Are you allowed to bump up a stock appearing turbo truck to this class? You honestly could probably run a LOT better with a stock appearing set up and make about 500+ ft lbs more of torque a LOT earlier

sootie · Jan 14, 2014

you cannot run compounds in this class. it specifically mentions 6.4's in the rules as no exception even though they are from the factory.

Breaking Habits · Jan 14, 2014

That sucks.. I'd take a truck with a 59/75 59/72 59/76 set up any day over a big single.

Is there classes that allow that? I've never heard of that before. Any rules I've read always state single 2.5-2.6-2.8 charger. Though I'm still learning a lot in WS and never questioned it. Although last summer I was at one brush pull in which I pulled work stock and then jumped up to 2.6. BC there were only 2 trucks and they paid 1st-3rd. Ended up 2nd LOL

Lots of places let you bump UP but not down obviously.

They figure you cant compete in a class above you right? I love turning heads in 2.6 class

That's true. They all laughed when I signed up. I just said worst I can do is 3rd and still take a payout. I guess I'll have to do that next summer play both classes accordingly.

I did that at marshall putnam county fair here in IL this year. I ended up cleaning out workstock/2.6/ and Open just because my truck kills it on long tracks that let you run. Ended up bringing home over 1000 cash for a hour drive, now that was a day!

TY'S08FX4 · Jan 14, 2014

We dont have too many diesel classes to chose from around here, pretty much just local diesel, pro street and pro mod. And yeah pro street is a single turbo class no exceptions, pro mod allows twin turbos but thats a heavily modified class, gutted interiors, hood stacks, cut body panels ,ect. Although pro street has a few trucks in the class now at or over 1000hp.

^^^^This makes me want to build my truck so bad. I'm the only local that pulls a 6.4L. Im like the OP I turn heads just showing up to a cumminGs/ duramax party. But a mildly built 6.4 would probably snap some necks.

That's a great looking truck. Good luck with the setup. Interested in seeing what stock fuel truck can do.

Thanks, i plan on putting it on a dyno in the spring to see what it puts down, ill post the results up here when i do.

TY'S08FX4 · Jan 16, 2014

Looking for some input on turbo choices here, i have a local guy trying to price me out some options, was looking at either bullseye double bat s372 t4 83mm turbine .90 exh housing, Borg warner s471 w/race cover 83.5mm turbine .90. Or the bw s467.7 fmw in a .90 or 1.0 a/r. Im hearing the 67.7 fmw will flow like a 72 but spool closer like a 66? any help would be appreciated thanks!
