I wasn't insinuating anything. Just figured since all this piping was "finished" and it was "almost ready to start", that we would have seen a completed or at least any signs of a down pipe. You and I both know very well how long it can take to finish all the last little details on builds like this. Even after it has already started for the first time. Just saying, it looks like there is a solid week of finishing, unless these pics are just old ones. Hopefully they got it all straightened out as close as it is to time.

Exactly. We had so many pictures of piping and "finished" portions that actually were completely torn down and re-constructed later to function correctly with every other part. There is a HUGE difference between "starting" a truck and "driving" it. ---- a lesson that I learned from morgan and colton.. just because it starts, does not mean it can idle in traffic or make 100+ mile trips.

Yeah, I hear you guys. Those little details can eat up a huge amount of time. When I saw if on Friday, it looked very close to done, although there were a few loose ends prior to test driving. Of course this is coming down to the wire as these builds always seem to do. Things sure look promising to me though.

Does the 6.7 not like the 37's and 3.73's?

Is it because how the tranny shifts? I know my old 08 CCSB loved 37's on 3.73's

No it's because with bigger tires you are changing the effective final drive. This means you take longer to get rolling, longer to spool, and more stress on the drivetrain and transmission

Trans ratios and wayyyyy more power can do that.

I've never had that problem, even hooked to a trailer.

What is your plan for the radiator? Am I missing it? But it still looks like that hose is non existent... Radiator delete FTW!

I haven't seen the downpipe yet either.

Or the coolant bottle, or the vacuum box..

^^^^whats all this garbage?

Wayne said:
...or the front bumper. They probably forgot all those things because they clearly don't know what they're doing

because this… wayne knows, all the parts are there, i just haven't posted pics of it all.

when i filled out my entry form i just put "stock gears" cause i didn't have plans of changing anything… stock gears in my truck was 3.55s… so yeah, a set of 4.30s are in there, see how that works with the 38s

If I had the kind of money wrapped up in my engine that some of these guys do, I would get bitchy too when things didn't go my way. Some are aggravated that op got his stuff quick when they have been waiting longer, and that would burn me too, but op deserves a break since he essentially has had to build his truck TWICE. This build is absolutely awesome, and I'm sure those involved are going to get advertisement and future business if it makes the deadline and does well in the dpc. Another guy is mad because he can't play, I get that too, but none of that is the op's fault.

I'm just glad it is on here for us to watch the progress and hopefully see how it performs!
