I took the truck down to the local pull last night to see how it would do. It looks like I might of had a decent run going until I blew one of the intercooler boots. Notice the sound that the truck makes after I blew the boot. It sucked all the other boots completely closed.
One thing I noticed is that my truck hardly smoked lat night. The first time I hooked to a sled it smoked like crazy, but JDGnut didnt think it was loading the truck enough this time. Thanks Bryan for the video and all the hours spent wrenching on the truck.

I'll make another attempt next week and maybe it will go better.

What exactly *was* the "pop"?

An intercooler boot blowing off at 40+ psi makes a heckuva bang.

Well I didnt even know you were going to be pulling anytime soon???? I guess I will have to give you a call since I will be home all week with nothing to do. The Doc said I cant go to work. I will be calling in the morning. I might have something for you to try??? Remind me when I talk to you. Did you get that locker in that I gave you????

That track is horrible! I wouldnt dare pull on that. Looks like used asphalt. Nice truck though.

JDGnut

No kidding.. another reason he passed on a second pass... it really just clodded black dirt.. and lots of rocks... It was OK for my Putt-Putt tractor.. but not for a truck....
We weren't too far from ya.. in LeRoy.. East of Waco (Elm Mott) on Hwy 308.. you know the dirt.. haha...

Stomp

Yeah I dont know why I am asking him when you do all of the work At least it wasnt hopping as bad as it did the first time he pulled.

He's doing his share... I just have to cover the storage too.. I do need to work on his Diagnostic skills... haha..

I like the "local pull" idea. We haven't seen a tractor pull around here in years, and I miss them....
