^i'll bet that has a pair of cummins v903's.

10/15/2007 12:18:53 AM

Ivan...I want that plate. Reckon I can get it in a weighted tag?

Truck is pushing 7000 lbs right now, so I really need a weighted tag.

By the way, she's pullin' like a mule now. 21 pounds of boost, AND she picked up 5mph on the top end.

Next steps: install pyro, get Taurus cooling fan #2, install tranny temp gage, and maybe pick up the 16cm2 exhaust turbine housing. I'd really like to intercool this baby, but the plumbing part of that is gonna be a nightmare. 1st gen intercooler setups are rare as hen's teeth.

Oh, and truly, she sounds SOOOO mean right now. Quite literally:

I heard the Cummins many a time on the road trip I took this weekend. 'Twas a comforting sound.

10/15/2007 3:30:24 PM

^^yep, you can get weighted personalized plates. you definitely need a weighted tag. i'm surprised they let you register it with a regular one in the first place. with you loaning it out for tow duty, you need one to cover that too. dmv/shp has started sticking people hard for running over their tag limits.

def. get that pyro on there... crucial now that you've turned the pump up. oh, and 21 lbs. is just getting started... the bus will do 30-35 depending on the weather.

lemme know if you want this stack and/or those hubcaps.

What's the stack diameter? I think that's an afirmative on the stack, Ghostrider.

We's goin' the dually route, man, soon as I can get the rims. So I think I pass on the hubcaps.

10/16/2007 1:53:43 AM

um, i think it's probably a 6"? i'm not positive. it's got the little flapper deal on the top too.

matt/lee can get it out of the bus when they pick up my trailer for this weekend.

10/16/2007 2:40:31 AM

You think my truck will yank that trailer okay?

I gots a brake controller.

10/16/2007 2:41:38 AM

yeah, i don't see why not. the bus drags it with the same motor, and it weighs a hell of a lot more. gearing is probably pretty comparable once you consider the difference in tire size. the brake controller is a definite need, it'll probably weigh in around 12k with both their vehicles + trailer weight.

i told them they can use my suburban if your truck isn't ready.

10/16/2007 2:47:19 AM

De truck be's ready, yo. It could probably use an axle lube change or top-up first. I'll tell Matt to do it tomorrow.

I'm mostly worried about the hitch and tongue weight. I'll get 'em to check that out as well. Yours uses the 2-5/16" ball? I got both with the truck.

10/16/2007 2:49:55 AM

yep, 2 and 5/16. standard 7 pin round plug.

tongue weight isn't a problem as long as you load it right. if you've got a class IV hitch, it should be rated for 10k gross. close enough.

10/16/2007 2:53:08 AM

Make way for the Liebherr T 282B: the world's largest "DZLPOWA" truck! Cue "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack!

Oh, hell, just listen to it while you marvel at the Liebherr.

10/16/2007 3:28:38 AM

The Liebherr actually uses a diesel-electric setup like a train locomotive. Fucker is supposed to move around 40 mph.

10/16/2007 9:21:44 AM

fill the bucket up with a huge capacitor bank and i bet it would move the ground underneath it

10/16/2007 11:36:22 AM

DZLPOWA!

10/16/2007 11:09:53 PM

Took 'er out for a spin last night. Slapping yer foot on the go pedal is addictive.

I pulled out of the Handee Hugo (or whatever the fuckin store is in front of Avent Ferry Food Dog) just as this older woman was getting out of her car. She had a yap dog with her. Fucker yapped a time or two when I was leaving so I powerbraked it and left owner and rat in a cloud of diesel smoke. Dog yapped its fool head off. I had a fit. I am such a mean bastard.

10/16/2007 11:29:18 PM

pyro install tonight

10/17/2007 2:49:56 PM

I take it you got in touch with Ray, then. BOOYAH!

I am fucking STOKED. I wish I was going to Uwharrie with you fuckers.

10/17/2007 2:54:29 PM

stack was just procured...

10/17/2007 5:54:19 PM

say what?

10/17/2007 5:57:39 PM

Jeepman and slravene just picked up the trailer and stack.

[Edited on October 17, 2007 at 5:59 PM. Reason : .]

10/17/2007 5:59:08 PM

Hahahaha...thanks, Ivan. I owe you one or six.

You gonna be around over the weekend? You going to Uwharrie? Evidently not, if the nig twins just got your trailer...

10/17/2007 6:00:38 PM

i'll be around. working at the demo derby dragging the dead cars out.

10/17/2007 6:09:00 PM

You will be forced to drink lots of frosty beverages late night.

10/17/2007 6:12:04 PM

we were talkin about turnin it into a roadrunner, complete with giant plywood wing

10/17/2007 6:26:26 PM

hmmm...I wonder if it will help it draft a little better...

That back end could use a little downforce.

10/17/2007 6:33:07 PM

TTT

10/20/2007 2:45:48 AM

I took your trailer around the neighborhood the other night, Ivan. Decided to head up Kaplan at full throttle. The pyro hit about 1200.

Speaking of which, I now possess four (well, actually three; I gave one to the Crest Road Fab guys) Stewart-Warner 3" pyrometers. I don't have the probes for them, though, but I found a place that has 'em for about thirty bucks. These are some high quality pieces and they don't require external power like the one I currently have installed. Thanks to arghx for coming through in a pinch.

10/20/2007 10:52:58 AM

What she was meant to do. A real baller puller for under 2 grand. Now that's purty.

CRF REPRESENTIN' MUTHAFUCKAS

10/22/2007 9:26:18 AM

sure is a purty trailer ya got there. it's a fun one to wheel around city streets, eh? i see i still have fenders left, but how many car hoods and stop signs lost their life?

what was up with the brake controller?

[Edited on October 24, 2007 at 1:27 PM. Reason : .]

10/24/2007 1:26:35 PM

the wire tie in clip thing had some undone, i got it fixed before we rolled. just took turns nice and wide and only hopped one curb a little bit dialing in the tongue weight on it was the hardest part.

[Edited on October 24, 2007 at 1:40 PM. Reason : it is a purty trailer ]

10/24/2007 1:40:10 PM

You gotta be baller like me to miss all the curbs.

Okay. I did get one.

10/24/2007 2:23:08 PM

lol. it takes some getting used to. now i gotta get ya'll behind the wheel of the bus with it hooked up.

yeah, toungue weight with a two vehicle trailer is hard to get right without airbags or ridiculous springs.

10/24/2007 3:56:50 PM

I WANNA DRIVE THA BUS!

11/8/2007 1:53:00 AM

Except on the weekends. Then it's anybody's guess who's behind the wheel.

I miss my truck.

Witness the most powerful diesel engine in the world: the Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke. Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:

Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

I think the theme song for this one shall be Metallica's "Fuel."
