Rolling that much coal I would be worried about EGTs. Very cool though.

Bebe · 06-24-2009, 08:25 PM

That truck is so bad ass....he should enter KOH

looks like you could use some more rear weight bias.

reverhart · 06-25-2009, 04:17 PM

turbo was out due to an engine fire a few days before, had to rewire the whole engine, I'm thinking I missed something couldn't get any boost at all--normally we can make 20-30 psi
I was reading 2 during the runs, EGTs were ok,

we were there to adjust the shocks/springs-- rear is getting worked on

We didn't have any tire or wheel problems that day. One of the Spares came loose on the rack, so we tossed that on the back of my hummer, and took the 2nd spare off and left it on the trailer.

The BFG BAJA T/A's w the Cepek beadlocks hold up real well during those tests we did.

The Hummer had been under the knife since spring, almost ready to go out and cause some mayhem again
We have repalced al lthe upper and lower suspension arms with new 4130 welded arms by the GMR
Weremoved the rear set-up for the spare tires, and replaced the rear shock moutns with a new shock tower designed to mount the spares lower in the truck, helping the center of gravity, we also went for a 64 gallon dual fuel cell to a single fuel safe 42 gallon cell --changed some tubing in the rear, removed the rear radius rods, in favor of a custom addition to the geared hub to keep the wheels straigh as they go through the range of travel

OMG - that is crazy.....bring it to KOH, we'll trade for a run up the lakebed :-)

Or better yet - don't you think you should have an H3 chase truck? LOL
