Looks great! Can't wait to see you out again. Check out the provent 200 catch cans too.

Love seeing old faithful back, what a rig. When can we expect the next episode to drop fellas?

[wdglampingaustralia]

If you run it again on the dyno with stock wheels it will probably go close to 200hp as it is now. Those 35s are really heavy compared to stock wheel and tyre. A heavier rotating mass sucks more power. 👍 good to see it back

[brentmcd]

nice one! good work ! thanks for the update !

[craigdavies]

Well done mate. Which cylinders bent rods?
I chopped the top off the intake manifold and made it big right to cylinders 1 and 6, noticable gains in response and power. From my understanding cylinders 1 and 6 starve for air when pushed, they are still getting the same fuel but less air as the rest. This can cause overheating in 1 & 6 hence the question about which cylinders bent rods.
Keep up the great work.

Gr8 job I'm glad you got the truck back before Xmas 👍👍 it must have been a big damage bill !!!

[mountainconstructions]

Reliability is ALL you want....
Just look back over the past 3 months to remind you why

Awesome to see the big rig back. Are we going to get a video of her back on the tracks anytime soon?
