When I first came on to the forum, your signature was the first thing that I noticed, I found your gallery but no captions. would you mind telling me about your truck and what all you've dove to it (in detail if you don't mind) and much it all cost. thanks.

 

I think I can do that, but not the prices as I do not recall all of them.

Wow. I found the thread on your rebuild but i only read like 12 pages. I probably won't even attempt to read all 40 some odd pages. but i liked what i read. did you finally work out all the bugs? and is that a 5.4 as well? did you have a special place to get all of those components or was it a few different places? do you at know how much that engine cost? (just curious) whats your output now?

 

hey built whats ur tire wheel combo, do you have a lift

 

Keep Reading

 

thanks jbrew, i'll be here all night if read the whole thing.

 

If i remember correctly he did work out all the problems except the traction problem. Correct me if i am wrong built.

 

Well, the last three or four pages anyway..

 

a nice happy ending. always nice to read. you hit the jackpot finding that tuner Built.

 

305/50/20 nitto terra grapplers with 20x10 helo maxx 6 wheels. no i didnt fix my traction problem yet lol. I bought all my parts from different places, i worked on it over a period of a year and 6 months shopping around for deals.

 

lol umm put some weght over the rear axle to get some traction! works here in the winter when i dont feel like slideing i just put alot of weght in the bed. it'll add to ur trucks weght but ull grip right away!

 

no way, not adding a pound! im thinking about relocating the battery infront of the rear bumper though... I'm looking at toyo proxes s/t's....

 

Got that right. Many old timers round here will do that on a RWD car or truck and get by just fine. I got 4WD since I got a kid that I drive around in the winter times plus factory height is taller with 4WD version.

 

how many PSI do you have in ur tires built i know the drag cars before they race have like 10PSI in there tires so they grip. also i know shocks/suspenion chages adds tracration.. i donno ive heard of some cars that can't grip because of so much HP and they add alot of weght on the rear axle and even thoe its more weght they run faster times because they grip. you prob know more about this than i do just giving you some tips that im sure you alredy knew. just tryin to help ya out buddy

 

running lower than the recommended pressure in a street tire does more harm than good. I Have slicks for when i race, but im not running those every day
