Haha Jared, can't wait till next time pard!

I'm not sure on classes for the show n shine. I couldn't hear most of the awards given out. Only thing I was curious about was best under hood of they had one. Considering my set up and the guy that came with me with triples, would have been interesting to see what the winner had. Otherwise, it was worth the 25 bucks for great parking spots near the vendors and track.

I met Brenton as well, super cool dude. Makes some super bad ass lifters too!

Thanks bud ! Great to meet all of you! Now back to Waynes build

lol

Wayne do you get much time to go to the track ??? If so shoot me a PM let me know how she did !:joy:

madman1234509 · Jun 3, 2015

Brenton I'm hoping to go to the track towards the end of the summer/ fall to see how it does. Never been to a track before so it'll be an experience.

madman1234509 · Jun 3, 2015

And yes Devon it was a good time, can't wait for the next one. I would definitely like to come up sometime, unfortunately I don't think I'll be driving the truck acrossed the border

Just an update. Was out last evening. Got on it a little bit, under pretty good load I hit a small heave in the road from the ice over the winter. Heard a snap, truck acted as if it was in neutral. The bump in the road wasn't anything crazy, just enough to give it a shock under load. No crazy noises after the initial noise.

It was torn apart today, hoping itd be a quick input shaft swap. Ended up being the intermediate shaft. Waiting to see how the clutches in it looked, just as an inspection.

Well hopefully it's a quick simple fix!

What events are you planning on for the rest of the year? You gotta take me for a spin in this beast:thumbsup:

sideactiondiesel · Jun 23, 2015

Wayne if ya need some shafts let me know.

madman1234509 · Jun 23, 2015

John, I was planning on the event in NJ this weekend. A small event in NH July 11th. The easy coast nationals at Numidia. A small local event to me. And Rudys. Those are events that I knew of, and am definitely up for going to more. At least this weekend is ruined, and now the July events are tenative at best.

Brenton a PM has been sent.

been there done that...

Amazing what some good weather and proper waste gate adjustments will accomplish. Saw my big turbo make like 50lbs of boost. Sounds insane sitting in the passenger seat near that intake tube with no filter on it.

johnp115 · Aug 30, 2015

Congrats man!! i watched the video (more than once), them turbos were screaming. Awesome that it does that much on fuel only.

madman1234509 · Aug 30, 2015

It really is, I was shocked. Realistically it's just a number, and I do keep that in mind. I need to get to the track some day. If my mph could equate to even within 100-150hp of that I'd be ecstatic. Only downside is I have no experience racing so there is going to be a learning curve!

B585Ford · Aug 30, 2015

Very impressive numbers. You are gonna have to update the HP thread.

I'll gladly take it down the track for you :thumbsup::thumbsup: lol

Carnage......

So truck ran fine without the second pump running.... How worried should I be about the injectors? What do you guys typically do to prevent further damage if there is metal in the system? Any way to clean the injectors?

sideactiondiesel · Sep 2, 2015

Yeah pull rails down and clean them out. That really sucks

.

This is also another reason we run a single line in our setup. This way the contaminants only go into one rail if a pump fails.

I have a pump but will need control valves

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Sep 2, 2015

Just flush the system. Same reason we tell people not to reverse a used pump. Bad idea(not saying you did or not).

Only one way to find out. Only thing one line will do is destroy one whole bank and holds the nozzle open to melt pistons one one bank. Either way your still have to build a motor.

I disagree .... It all depends on what way the pump fails...

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Sep 2, 2015

If the pump fails internally without a plunger and barrel failure then it doesn't matter what line arrangement you have. It will stay contained.

If you have a material failure in the plunger and barrel the only thing your doing by only feeding one rail is just contaminating one bank completely to failure instead of both equally. Either way your going to ruin stuff.

If you only stick a nozzle open on one bank instead of two you still ruined the engine. On our kit you can still only ruin one bank. It would have to go completely through the other k16 to get to both banks if only one pump fails. Either way if you hang an injector you are screwed.
