Completed my annual x-mas tree run. Was feeling under prepare with a stock truck but turned out ok.
Yes we have a tall ceiling...

 

tinkham road?

 

Ah we saw you pass us on Tinkham Rd! We were in the silver 1st gen and orange 3rd gen, we were both like "damn he got a bigger tree than us!" lol

 

Ah yeah, the huge tree on the 2nd gen! Here's mine but not yet decorated.

 

Pm

 

Quad wastegates and dual blow off valves. A little much I would think. What the hell kind of psi is he planning on pushing with those turbos?

 

I think he was pushing over 700hp on a dynojet. My guess is 15-20psi.

 

Want to say the video i saw of his truck he said it was ~720hp for "daily driving" but he had made 1000. but its an east coast truck so not sure if he is doing all that on E85 or 93 either. But i would guess anywhere from 10-20psi. More than 20psi can get into head lift and pushing water if you dont do things right (for LS motors).

it isnt caged or running slicks or anything so outside of "dyno numbers" I doubt he runs it that hard anyways. I wouldnt at least. No drag stripe would let him run in its current form. Maybe a single pass then you'd get tech'd out.


Still though it is nice cause he did all the work himself. Well a vast majority. Cant say that for a lot of modified trucks/cars.

 

Yeah. I laugh at those "#builtnotbought" vehicles when they literally pay someone else to do the building for them.

 

Doesn't applying the hashtag sticker count as part of the build?

 

Just picking the parts you want counts as building doesnt it?

 

Yes tinkham road has worked for 11 years. Does get busy with less prepared vehicles/people but somehow its fun. Random strangers work together to pass each other on the single lane road...

Yup you guys had cool trucks Did you make it to the parking lot?
@rlx02 what size tire are you running? Looked great!

 

December Meet:

Yo dudes, I need some help. I have a "thunk" in my drivers front that I can feel in the floorboard. It feels like it is something loose that moves vertically, not front to back. I can drive off a median-height bump and not hear it, but slight bumps like texture in the highway basically make it rattle. I cant feel it in the steering wheel and nothing changes when I turn, but it does completely/almost completely go away when I hit the brakes. I feel a really small wobble sometimes in the front (but not in the steering) I have tried to shake or move everything i can find on the front end without being able to narrow it down. I have never had to replace TREs so im not sure what im looking for there, I'm just hoping its not the bushings on the steering rack because they cant be replaced and the rack is a massive pain the ass to remove. If anyone has any ideas on what to check, id really appreciate it.

 

Have you looked at engine and trans mounts? Check all suspension bolts for correct torque?
