Got the ALT mounted today.......It was a ****. But it looks great. Of course like everything on the truck, the Belt I needed was not available and had to be ordered.



Also mounted up and wired the Snow Water meth controller.

 

and the day after

 

Well if I get my belt in it tomorrow, then I should be able to drive it after that. Of course it is supposed to start raining tonight and tomorrow. %$#&!!!!!

 

Well its raining so it was a real short trip. LOL

Oh.
My.
God.

Dude it's crazy seeing how far this thing has come. It's amazing.

 

errr cant wait to see it going down the road at full throttle

 

Here is another, testing out the brakes, and the drivetrain.

So nasty!!!

Getting close!

 

dam that things sounds great love the sound of the big diesels i just cant dig the new diesel engines that sound as quiet as a gasser

 

bout time! sounds good! need to work on that exhaust leak though! big time power loss on a turbo'd motor when you got an exhaust leak

 

Reason for smoke/leak:
Any idea if this motor could be daily driven/is reliable? I know you said this would be the first 6.0 to break 1k-HP, so I'm just wondering if you know what it would be like for anything but a track engine?

Thanks & truck looks & sounds amazing!

 

Well I got it out today for a while. I re-bled the brakes, but I am far from happy with the results. I will be changing the master cylinder out next week. I wanted to take a quick trip on the street to see how everything did. Unfortunately, I was alone and could only get a quick film to prove it went out. And yes, it was freakin awesome.

Here is the warm up after pulling it out.

And a quick drive through the neighborhood where the shop is at.

You tease!

 

for real

 

LMAO, that was all I could take, about the time I hit the brakes I realized.....Oh Chit, their spongy. Figured at that point I had better drive.

 

That thing is awesome, and loud!!!

 

When are we gonna see double stack smoke?!?!?

 

When I am 100% sure the exhaust housing is not gonna change on the turbo's. I'm not gonna do it twice just to not have the hood stack on.

 

Oh hell yes! Good to see the truck moving, cant wait to see you really push it!

 

I swear this thing hates me. The First master cylinder I bought blew out the seals immediately, obviously a bad core. Today I drove all iver the place, and finally found one 20 miles north of Austin. Drove up there, spent all day refitting it, bled he brakes, the hole enchilada. Got it all set, and #$@%.


Looks like I'll try again tomorrow.

 

Dang man. Thats teh sux!

 

Finally got all my parts to finish the brakes. Should have it back on the road this coming week.

 

hell yeah dude

 

me likey!!!!

 

OK, back to some progress pics. Changed out the brake MC to the one recommended by several folks. Got the MAF sensor attached to the intake tube, (no pics), and wired up and plumbed the TS powerfool Nitrous kit. I had to make a bracket as I am officially out of space. LOL There are officially a crap ton of braided lines on this thing now.





Still need a few more fittings to get the Purge line hooked up. so that is the red line hanging.



New brake master cylinder.



I also decided I have spent a ton of time and money doing it right, SOOOO, the dash and the radio panels are at a stereo shop getting fiberglassed in . The Dash will have the SCT extreme monted dead center, and a Gauge on both sides. The radio was removed, as was the Climate control panel, and 3 gauges and a few switches will go in the radio section, and three gauges where the climate controls were.
