I wish my truck did that. I punch it and wait for the little stock HPOP to build some pressure, then the turbo starts slacking and won't spool, then once the tranny starts seeing power it tells me to f' off :flipa:. So when i punch it i sit there and smoke then all of a sudden it takes off.

If i do a boosted launch she lights up one tire and then the rear end gets pissy and i have to back out before anything breaks.

Needless to say my truck hates any kind of launch. LOL

lol my truck never one wheel peeled then one day i went to change the oil and found some nastly stuff so now she has a locker and new bearing in the rear, and i am still on my stock pump lol

Stock. But i have some crazy lag. Once its lit it stays lit and pulls hard.

I'm actually gonna crawl under her right now and check out my up-pipes. If i have a leak i may live with it until i can afford a T4 mount and turbo.

I would say you are having turbo troubles!!!!

That stocker should spool a LOT quicker then that..

Derek@Vision Diesel · Jul 15, 2011

That front hitch looks good! I need to make one for my truck, and my brother wants on his 6.0. I've thought about making something that like, and incorporating weight brackets and tow hooks into it somehow.

Crawled under the truck and the DS up-pipe does have a leak at the donut gasket. But it doesn't look like a big leak cause the up-pipe and manifold are still clean, there is just a little soot around the gasket. And it looks like it'll be fun to remove the up-pipes, nice and rusty. :doh:

I had to make a run up to my brothers so i took the camera along with me. Theres not really a single hill out here, its pretty much flat. And i was hoping my POS camera would pick up the charger noise, but of course it won't. So its really a ****ty video, but it sorta shows my problem and i played around a little. I really need to get a good camera and get her on some hills.

My entire truck hates me. LOL Nothing on it likes me. The tranny acts up, motor runs rough, suspension rides bad, rear end hops, front end pulls to the left, brakes pulse and shake the truck, interior rattles and the radio randomly makes odd noises. As i told my buddies, it might be a POS, but its my POS.

ointlaugh:

And no gauges. Supposed to be getting a Insight CTS but i haven't been able to get ahold of my buddy to get one ordered. I'm gonna try to get in touch with him tomorrow and get something set up, cause i need gauges bad.

Still haven't gotten it yet. LOL

And its official, my torque converter is getting ready to **** the bed. Been fighting issues with it wanting to lock up in reverse, and now at times it doesn't want to go forward. Driving through the hay field today to talk to my grandpa it really started acting up. If i was stopped at idle it wouldn't creep. I'd give her some fuel and it'd take a second for the truck to move. Got on the road heading home and it would barely accelerate under power, then keep unlocking/locking/slipping until i hit 40mph. Above 40 it locked up good and tight like normal.

So i may be holding off on gauges to get a torque converter.

BTW, i dropped the pan, changed the filter, then filled it back up a couple weeks ago. Didn't do a complete flush. Fluid is still bright red and smells like new ATF.

With my stock fuel system at idle the RPM's would jump around but since switching to electric fuel it stays steady.

And good god you need some trans work done!!! P.S. you also need fuel

oke:.

Before I up my injectors i'm wanting to get some traction bars first. Anybody using them and have pics?

JD3020 · Jul 21, 2011

Yeah, i think i might just get a cheap torque converter and throw in there for now. Might also throw a valvebody in to go with the 2's. Other than this torque converter issue and the slow shifting my transmission seems to hold well. I dont think its ever slipped once. I want a built tranny but i can't exactly handle that right now unless it aboslutely ****s the bed.
