Somebody taped and posted a run I made on a dyno 2 weeks ago. Whoever it was...Thanks!

 

link?...please

 

Sorry, I don't know how to do links.
It was 4th gear and ran it up to about 85 mph. 472 hp 1080 trq. Elevation; 6000'.

 

Here's the link; I didn't see anything against the rules:

I saw that video, and you have a sick truck! A+ post more!

 

That was awesome! I love the 2nd gen wheels on that truck. I've never seen that before. Kurt

 

Cool video!!!! Another plus for us 1st gen owners......

 

Sweet video, you have a great truck. Do those second gen wheels fit on fine or did you have to modify them?

 

Nice run... (nice numbers too..) Check out his Sig... Dana 80 with disks.. Not sure about the 1st gens.. but have been told they will work on the drum braked second gens.. but it takes some machine work to get them to fit..

 

sweet lookin ride, i was wandering where you found the lug nuts or what you did to run those wheels, i have a set and the tire shop told me that the lug nuts off the 2nd gen were bigger and that i had to find some other type of lug nut to make them fit. By the way my truck has the same paint scheme and i really like the way the truck looks, it looks awesome.

 

No machine work needed, have them on my 92. To use the knock offs you need the bigger lug nuts. Dealer had them under a part # for RV's. Spendy little fellas. Hit me $2.25 each, dont recall the part #. Knock offs stay on though and no clearance problems or modifying.

 

That what I get for speaking with out actually trying it...

The rims fit on the back but are tucked in 2" more and almost rub the box. I had 2" spacers made to get them right. The spacers used 9/16 studs so I can use the 2nd gen lugs and caps. First gens use 1/2 studs unless it's a dually, those are 5/8. With the disc brake D80, they are oem rims; a direct fit and correct spacing.
The rims will not fit on the front without hitting the tie rod. Again, I used 2" spacers to get it correct. I did however search NAPA pretty hard to find 9/16 studs with correct length and more importantly, knurl diameter and I swapped all 4 hubs over to 9/16 studs just for the heck of it. You can still use your old 16x6 steel rims on the new studs; they fit fine.

Nice video and very powerful dyno run. Please look at my previous post about the lug nuts from the dealer. Mine came off a 94 or 95. I put them on in 1999, over 36k ago. Ive had no problems and I pull a fifth wheel and travel. I have also put close to a ton of rock in the box, pulled heavy concrete trailers, no tire sway that caused rubbing anywhere or flex in the front end that scraped the rims. If something was close enough to rub or scrape, I would know/heard it by now. Les Schwab installed the rims on mine and I addressed your concerns back then and they said, they looked fine. I also went into the service bay and looked before it came off the lift.
The backset of the rims, is a little different than the first generation, but really, towing such loads as I do there should be some indication of something seriously gone wrong.

the ones you have palerider, are they staal or aluminum? i thought the ones on the vid were aluminum, like what i have and they came off a 2001 cdt. are you sti running the spacers sinceyou changed the stud size, are the spacers that you used at first strong enough to pull heavy loads safely? i am wandering , cause i am wanting to put the wheels that i have, on my truck.
