Any fluid in the truck that is on an incline will not lubricate properly. Engine pickup for one would be a concern, The drivetrain is moving which means the rear end the transfer case and transmission are all out of their comfort zone. You may have problems you may not but I wouldn’t do it. With that being said I have never run 6.7 on a dyno so Maybe I shouldn’t speak on the subject. I am a 25 year L2 master tech though and I do understand how things react to fluid pressure and fluid level

Firepunks dyno is exactly the same... so are about half the dynos in the country. I don't think they would be widely accepted if they caused mechanical harm. Maybe if you had a truck that wasn't maintained and had low fluids but nothing to worry about here

What? Do you think every road in America is flat? There are plenty of roads that put the truck on steeper inclines for long periods of time.

Just think of a drag truck and where the oil goes during a good solid launch

Thank goodness for angled dyno's. When my coolant line popped off it drained right off LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

I'd say Pete's truck is overly maintained also. Nothing for him to worry about.

If the oil pickup is in the rear of the pan, there is a possibility of all the oil running away from it, which would starve the system for oil, and boom.

I have no idea what a 6.7 looks like inside the pan.

Have you ever had an oil pan off of anything? The pickup damn near lays on the bottom of the pan... and also the engine is tilted about 10 degrees nose high sitting in the truck so if anything the engine is completely level on the dyno. :fustrate:

Many, many, times. Not a 6.7 though. You are aware that the situation of the oil pump moving oil faster than it can drain back to the pan exists? And a situation that causes oil to move away from the pickup will result in less oil being available to the pump?

you guys are looking into the dyno angle way to much.. evidently nobody has climbed sand dunes or when bogging or hill climbing or trail riding in a truck ever in history. lol

live life full throttle

It was topped off with LE8854 liquid gold and I monitor oil psi from the turbo feed line with EAS.... so yeah nothing to worry about

My crawler has been on some narley angles even laid over on the side running and it still works fine with zero issues. Its a 5.3 with about 160k on the clock. Few times it has stayed like that for 20 to 30 minutes.

to stop the crank from slapping the oil in the pan. Nothing to do with inclines...
