Fine job Morgan fine job! What were the rpms? It sounded lower this time, but it could've been just how the video was taken.

4500 down the middle of the track. For the gear I'm running that was awesome.

Hear my theory lol. Well, most tractors, 2.6 trucks(cummins) have a hand throttle with a stiff cable(mechanical) that you bump with your hand and it stays as no constant pressure is needed to depress it.... I am sure you can chop the pedal like that but no reason too. Didnt think I would have to explain myself on that one wow.

That's the hardest part about setting a sled for diesel trucks. There's no such thing as a "stock" truck, then you get to the higher classes and struggle to get a good show with the mix of real trucks and wannabes. Yours is definitely part of the "real" category.
3.0 still require DOT tires? Hard to tell from the video, but it almost looked like you didn't have a whole lot of ground speed like I'm used to seeing (also watching on my phone).

Yeah, always a crap shoot if it's good competition or not.
But with this gear at that rpm I have over a 1mph speed gain from what I had. So don't be fooled.

Hey Morgan, I don't think gear or rpm matters when you run out of track! Great job man.

Well since I have some down time before scheids, the hx60 got sent off for some freshening up and upgrades. So I put the hx82 on and finished the piping.
Also put a new slave and master cylinder in since the old one didn't like the new triple disk. Couldn't hold it on the line just started walking out at 4500. This one feels better.

That sucks but really you can't complain after 4 years. That's really impressive for the abuse it took. I'm sure it's going to be better than ever if you build her up again. And hey what are friends for haha damn Morgan!
