Tomorrow is the big day,

 

Guys i had a miserable day today, after several months waiting for
the Whipple i tell you what happened.
As you guys know, my car has an Air Ride Suspension and 1 day before the s/c install,
i took my truck to the suspension shop and removed both front shocks
(shockwaves from ridetech.com) and install the stock ones, i did
that because the air shocks needed service. Ok, the guy from the
performance shop called me at 13:30 and said that the whipple install and the
transmission plate kit were done, i got in the shop at 14:00 and
when we was taking the car to the Dyno, the Dyno just went dead, the
fu#$% dam dyno stopped working. A little bit of frustation but at
least i got the truck ready to roll. I drove the truck for 20 miles
for the suspension shop to have my front shocks installed, got them
installed and started getting back home . 2 miles away from my house in a
very busy crossing of two roads i was cornering the truck and
suddenly, BOOOMMMM, after 2 seconds BOOOMMMM again. Guess what
happened ??? Both shocks exploded, i don't know if that was the air
lines or the air bags, but i never saw anything like that, my
wheells are 24" inches and i got no clearance inside the fenders,
both tires touched the top of the fenders breaking the fender
covers. I called police right way, explained the situation and ask
for a tow truck, police was there 10 min. later because the truck
was in a dangerous place for the traffic. After 40 minutes they towed the truck to my
house and tomorrow will be towed to the suspension shop. I will tell
them to remove the FU@#$% air rider suspension and put the stock suspension, i
don't trust put my family in the truck with that suspension anymore.
Now i calculate between 5-10 days to get the truck back and them get
the dyno numbers. Thanks God in first place because the truck was not at 70mph when the shocks blew up and nobody got hurt and thanks for you guys, but unfortunately SH@#$ happens.

 

Wow, what a ****ty day.....That sucks big time man! Just very glad you weren't at speed or some stuff could have hit the fan!

 

thats terrible man. something's fishy. i've never heard of shocks exploding before, much less both of them at the same time..........

BTW> did you have time to punch it a time or two?

 

Yes, actually i punched more than 10 times, i drove the truck for about 30 miles and BTW, what do you mean for "something's fishy" ???

 

Somethings fishy means just that. Air ride shocks don't explode, ever. That little tiny compressor couldn't make enough pressure to blow those rubber boots up. Something wasn't installed correctly most likely. Don't dam the air ride before you find out what the issue actually is, although I will grant you this.....Air ride is not the best thing to have with 400HP

Ok FISHY GUYS, i had a mechanic from the suspension shop at home this morning and guess what happened ? Both shocks broke the same black top plate, take a look on the the shock's picture and you gonna understand better.

 

 

 

Did it damage your air intake or anything attached to the inner fenderwell?
