    How best to disable the ABS?

    I think you are a little quick on raising that flag. I didn't see it in person so it isn't my BS if it is. I give it some credit since it came from the service manager at the dealership I was talking to on a how to disable my ABS. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I've been on a...

    How best to disable the ABS?

    All it takes is a small bit of ice under one wheel and no brakes! I call it Jesus take the wheel. Unless you've experienced it, it's probably hard to understand. I've been in many situations where the ABS takes over and you aren't gonna stop till the system decideds to stop turning the tires...

    6.7 Twin Turbo Setup

    I was thinking the mechanics of rod and main bearing lubrication was a direct comparison. If other oiling considerations in a diesel engine limit your options than so be it. I dunno. Forget the top fuel comparison. Why does Ford require my Shelby to run 5w-50 but a dedicated drag truck under...

    6.7 Twin Turbo Setup

    I'm not so sure about that. I had a drag motor with a filled block not making the horsepower Dan's setup likely is and I couldn't keep my oil temps under 260 in a quarter pass. And that is only where the temp sensor is picking it up. What is it at the bearings? What's your viscosity there??

    6.7 Twin Turbo Setup

    Not calling you out here, I am not equipped to do so. These statements go against what my understanding was for high HP engines. I've built some race engines, (gas), in the past and an engine builder explained to me the function of the oil between the crank and rod bearings was not only to...

    On Friday September 13th I phoned Elite Diesel Engineering inquiring about the replacement 6.7 turbo kit advertised on their website. I spoke with Bryan Garey in sales. It was explained that it would take two weeks to ship the kit out due to the fact that the turbos themselves were too...

    Diesel Performance Industry Ethics Question

    I had hoped by this point Elite would have stepped up and made this right in some way, shape or form. You are correct Sledpull. Had someone posted a simlar experience with Elite I would still be mad as hell right now but at least share in some of the responsibility of not heeding a warning. I...

    Diesel Performance Industry Ethics Question

    To be fair, lying might be too strong a word. I've had employees set me up with bad information and passed it along making me look pretty bad. My big problem is this has happened enough times that their credibility is completely shot. If I can't get reliable information as to what is going...

    Diesel Performance Industry Ethics Question

    At this point I don't want to mention any names. I have been a business owner for over 20 years and I understand the struggles that go with it. 4 weeks in I had to get threatening to get a response. At that time I told them I understand these things and that bad news is better than no news...

    Diesel Performance Industry Ethics Question

    I would like to know if this is typical of businesses in the diesel performance world. I lost my turbo back towards the end of the Confederate Diesel blowup and was ready to go to an aftermarket turbo kit. With my knowledge of manufacturing, there was no way I was rolling the dice with CD. In...
