Thanks for hosting Mike! Yes Tom, it shifted into Drive and the drop in RPM's created a lot of turbo surge. You've got to let out of it or it will shorten the life of the turbo. For those that don't understand what turbo surge is, it is boost that is created that the engine can't use. Basically it trys to make the turbo run in reverse.
Something missing in the videos is the trip down that hill! We have to take the trailer down that hill, stop at the bottom and turn around. And that I believe is really just as important to take note. Mitch and I both smoked the brakes getting down that hill. That's a 12 and 14 year old truck for you. Matt and Scott's trucks really showed how much advancement has been made in both gas and diesel trucks in how well they can hold back that kind of load without using too much brake. Pulling is great, but not as important as being able to get it stopped. I down shifted to 2nd going down, then into 1st when I neared the bottom. Hey Mike, didn't you say you weighed something like 21,000lbs with your truck and trailer when you picked it up? |

I was in the chase truck for both the 6.7 & 7.3 and not much of a smoke cloud at all. The weeds were really blowing from the exhaust. I was driving & riding in the gassers so don't know what it looked like.

Man I would really love to see a 5.4 make that pull.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...98fde0506b.jpg Lifter bearing went bad and of course tore up the cam and I assume the low pressure oil pump. Seems to be a few of these threads with the lifter bearing going bad. |
The second video of Mitch's with the 91 Tune is now up and original post edited.

91 tune gave it a couple mph throughout the pull.

Nice pulls gents. Awesome to see how much technology has changed and the capability of these trucks.
Thanks for the videos and hopefully I will be able to bring my 6.2 up there one day. |

Haha it is okay....at least you are there to represent!

Matt, your truck pulls amazingly. I would definitely get a 6.2 with 4.3 gears if i get a new truck.
