Diesel Power Challenge 2013; Who's in?

[BFT]

Shilo's truck is out.

That's what happens when they *** around too much

Agreed, they should have just left it alone and not been running all over the place.

Any possibility of locking this thread so all updates are on the "official DPC thread"? It'll make following a little easier for all.

I think that the mods are planing on just having the results of the events in that thread but I am not 100% positive on that.

This thread will be locked when that time comes so there isn't a lot of back and forth

All the time it could run for the dyno but better to just fix it now

Speaking of dyno, are they allowed to put weight in the bed of the trucks on the dyno like H&S did?

Last I saw on fb tho the front end was torn apart doing more mods

That's another thing. Everyone probably said screw it I'll continue with my build or go bigger.

Good find. Stage 6 Allison? How many friggin stages do they make? LOL

The stage 5 transmission is for the 5 speed allison and the stage 6 is for the 6 speed ones. If that helps out at all.

Why would you? There is more force pulling down on the truck from the ratchet straps then weight in the bed

Sparkle pants probobly should have been helping get the DPC truck DONE instead of blowing his truck up on the dyno LOL

I kidd, he says on fb hes been up 2 days straight trying to get it finished up, so thats a big bummer. Hopefully team GM can get another truck out there...

It worked for the H&S Duramax :shrug:

 

[Dzchey21]

There is no need for it

 

[powerstrokin15]

tell me how a forklift held the back of the truck down, a forklift doesn't have force going down.


Sent looking at my blown up 6.4

Remember they set a pallot in the bed with 1000+ pounds of weight on it afterward

 

[powerstrokin15]

I missed that.

ATS has a winch in the floor, and they use a pulling hitch and yank the truck down with the winch. Works pretty good from what I've seen.

 

[01PSD]

That's awesome!
