    That truck had just done a 2920 HP dyno run and they upped the boost and a bigger nitrous shot to get to 3000 when it came apart. That was at an event an hour north of me in Ogden.

    Check this one out on the dyno that ran away. Pay attention to the back brakes where the guy is standing on the pedal trying to get it to stop :eek: skip to 1:45 for the truck going on the dyno.

    That would be far to easy!

    Then if you have the service manual (which tells these interesting facts ) which no one ever gets to see but the Girl in the office when it got put away when the machine was unpacked .

    You'd think they'd be equipped with a bit better fire suppression.

    Speaking of engines on fire.
    This is what my Saturday consisted of with my new to me Ram 2500. Thankfully I was parked and was the only one inside at the time and it didn’t spread to my dads shop.

    I’ve found that all my hitches that have two holes, I never extend them out to use the second one is why I only drilled one.

    For those that don't know, my buddy bought this hitch for his new GMC AT4 but he needed a different one and he gave me this one. Only problem was it had a 2 1/2" tube and was too long for my Duramax. I had to switch it to 2” tubing and cut it a little shorter. He owns a powdercoat business and I just picked it up :anonymous:
