Dyno?
Anybody put their truck on the dyno?
I would be interested in seeing your numbers.
I think I am going to take mine over to Ken Imler diesl and do a dyno run before I start messing with it.
I know what the stock figures are, but I also know that a lot of you turn your pumps up and add turbo chargers and stuff.
If any of you are in the Sacto area and are interested in a Dyno run, maybe we can get a rate for getting two trucks on there.

In many bigger towns some of the diesel shops have dyno days, reduced or even free rates.
On normal days, rates are usually not that cheap, a dyno is a rather costly piece of equipment.
100 or 150 usually gets you a couple runs is what I normally hear for prices.

I'd throw $$ into a pot to get Dave's truck on a dyno, especially before he decides to put an intercooler on it.

We've been trying to get his truck on a dyno for years.....keep trying guys.
Some of us have to work for a living it seems.
Our town has a dyno shop that opened a few years ago and heard its $60 for a single run. Never went there but its not a priority for me.

I was offered free runs on a dyno a year or two ago.
Catch, 6 hour drive from here to the dyno and then 6 more hours home again.
There are many other things that would be a much better use of my time.

Joe, I have been hauling and towing weight like that since the truck was new with the stock 6.9 NA under the hood.
Like I have said many times before, it don't make any difference what I haul or tow, I will get there.
Maybe I won't be the first one there, but I will get there.
The only time I have been stranded was when I took the short route and installed a reman 7.3 turbo engine.
I should have taken the time and rebuilt the 6.9 to start with and been done with it.
But motor sitting here, 14 hour swap and back on the road with a reman engine looked good, right up till it was in my truck.
Then the nightmare started.
Took me about three weeks to rebuild what I have now working weekends and after work, also missing several days to rain since I did it outside in my driveway.
The rebuild was even 1500 cheaper than the reman was and I am coming up on twice as many miles as I got out of three remans.
28,000 out of three remans and I am a bit over 50,000 on the motor I built in round numbers.
