Dyno in town today!

Who thinks it would be worth me putting my truck on it? My truck is all stock right now besides the 6637,hpx,frx,OCR,&5"ex. I was told a stock truck should make around 180hp to the wheels. I'm betting I'm more like 150hp! Haha

It would give you a baseline. Go for it! Where is this dyno event being held?

It would be interesting to see if power is the issue here... like, I'm thinking if you get good power, then it might suggest something else like a tranny (which I doubt). Who knows, I could off my rocker with this!

Where, when, and how much? Most dynos at these small events don't dyno diesels.

Gut feeling says your time and money will be better spent with live tuning. Do they use a dyne for that? ( I assume so but am unsure)

If they do take a jack and lug wrench with you, You will need to take your outside duellies off too run.

They actually had a dyno day about an hour from me this past summer. They were mostly diesels there. It was Mass Diesel's dyno. I put my truck on it. I put down 206hp 437 lbft. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...k-on-dyno.html
