TORSPD: NEVR

When opposite forces attract, worlds collide. Chaos intertwined with balance of harmony. Yes. The ATI Super Damper pulley is finally mated with the Brian Crower 4.3L 1GR stroker crank. There is balance in the universe, once again.

 

While checking over things, I noticed a worm gear clamp was a little loose on the t-stat radiator hose. Did a quick check of the others and cleaned up with some glossy WD-40. Mmm.

Fiddled with the Haltech tune a little. About ready to swap in the 1300cc injectors.

Then in a few months, big things are coming.

 

By big things, I hope you mean smallish, round things.

 

Hoping to get the exhaust merge and possibly driver side header fabbed up, make titanium charge tubing, and have it all tuned in flawlessly.

 

I'm so far behind...

I'm a little

 

It's only a pulley mate. You'll recover. Lol

 

winning.

 

I'll recover, and then we race

 

Looking good! I didn't realize you had the stroker motor back in. Can't wait for an update.

 

So that's what all that damn racket from the rear was. Got almost everything buttoned back up today right before work, but accidentally snapped an axle seal (stupid $2 O ring) and didn't have a spare, so truck is still on jacks in the driveway until I can pick up a seal tomorrow and bolt up that side.

 

Finally popped my "LT truck broke a diff" cherry lol

 

Haha i'll post a pic when i shred mine after my motor build and pop mine lol

Lost an axle but it's not that special

 

Wow! Do you know what caused it?

 

The desert is a nasty place..

Can't wait for season to start

 

Pretty sure the "recommended by colleages" 4x4 differential shop that set them up fucked it up. Long story short-
*Diff began making noise right after break in
*Shop refused to warranty based on truck usage, as well as Nitro gears, not shop gesrs
*Shop offered free labor
*Dropped off spare diff, shop gears non existent
*ECGS recommended nitro gears again over Yukon gears
*Shop charged for labor anyways
*Shop told me diff would not grenade
*Shop is clearly full of shit

That's probably 3k miles and 2 off-road trips on those gears. Pretty sure pinion bearing is loose. Will be sending it off to ECGS like I should have the first time

 

Marathon. Forging ahead to stay in the lead.

Super Stadium style. As yours is far more versatile that mine. Then we need to call up Matt Ferra and get a two-fer shoot done. :

Got some necessary wheel bearing repairs to make on the Bimmer, then I can focus on the truck. These are exciting times for me.

So what you're saying, is that they put the FU in your Fun.

Busted one of those dang seals myself. With only a minutes to spare before toyota closed on a Friday, before a Saturday morning race.

 

I'm totally gonna hit him up for a One take

Maybe see if anyone wants to bring a bunch of trucks to a desert spot and let him go rip around hahah

 

That would be quite epic, if organized thoughtfully!

 

I think he would be interested. He has done just about everything when it comes to on-road cars, and it would be fun to watch him struggle as he learns how to drive a desert truck
