Ahhh diesel world. Yes yes, my finest moments. LOL

 

When are you coming into town? I'll be there next week for Diesel Power Challenge but can't stay for TS, unfortunately (have to fly back to CA on Friday)... If you'll be in town early I'd love to check it out.

 

thing looks sick! more running pics and video now!

 

I will be at TS Thursday in the afternoon, then were hosting a bash at the Wabah steak house that night, swing by.

 

I guess you can say the purge works.

 

Right on! We'll be sled pulling somewhere on Thursday but I'll have to make it a point to look you up that evening.

 

Sounds great.

 

Seems to have a little torque!

my dad wrecked his drag car on fri... sux. gotta love a damn cold track

 

Oh yeah, its tuned just fine.

 

Cool photo. How's the hood coming along?

 

Good, unfortuantely, I have a lot more time now. Here is the track in KY where I was supposed to race it this weekend.

Now were gonna have it in Houston at HRP Friday night instead.

 

Just put a snorkel on it. lol

 

You'll be in Houston this Friday?

 

Yip.

 

Cant wait!

 

Woo hoo, track tomorrow night. Time to let her rip! Were coming home with a Powerstroke record, or a box of busted chit. LOL

 

hahaha nice u better get some vids of that race!

 

Small problem. Actually large problem. We made a little gunk up in Ennis and clogged the IPR, (Injection pressure regulator) but wasn't sure what it was on the screen. Pulled the IPR last week, and found what looked like metal shavings in the screen. Put in another IPR right before the track, and it ran for 45 seconds and died. Pulled it out, and the screen was completely full of copper. Pulled the oil filter like every other time, and ran it over a towel. It looked like a christmas tree. Looks like it ate a bearing. I am thinking the original gunk was the Polydyn coating on the bearings. IT will not have that coating when it gets put back together. It sucks, but it is what it is. I'll get it back up as soon as I can. I just don't have a lot of time right now with Family obligations.

 

oof! that could have resulted in catastrophic failure! better to have found it that way rather than the usual way!
