    2016 Haspin rally, June 8th-12th, info/discussion thread

    Last year was REALLY bad. Someone burned up the water tankers tires, stole it and crash it in the woods. It was a huge mess. I think if we talk to Pete we might get a night ride wednesday-thursday but I would not hold my breath for Friday and Saturday. Haspin is a great time but it is the only...

    6.2 Broken Crankshaft Revisited.

    When I have blown engines it has been at higher RPM and I have ALWAYS tossed a rod. I have never broken a crank at high RPMS only braking connecting rods. I am thinking that lugging the engine would place WAY more stress on the crank then a high load and high RPMS. When lugging the piston that...

    I did not read the who post it was trollish... You should use the correct heads.. 6.2 on a 6.2 and 6.5 on a 6.5. the difference in the turbo heads the the pre cups. on a non turbo engine they are a lot smaller and are made for low end and good MPG. The larger the cups the more power the engine...

    M1008 craigslist find

    It has around $1500.00 in lift and tires. $3500-5000 is a good base price for a M1008. You do have to remember it is a 30 year old Chevrolet pick up. You can buy early 2000's durmaxs 4X4 for as much as he is asking.

    M35A2 performance in Sand

    I have been out to Sliver lake a few times with my old Deuce. Airing down is a MUST and only using low range. I did have 900 duals and they worked just fine at 15 PSI. loose soil/sand EATS up horse power and the multi fuel is lacking to state it best. On flat ground your ok but if you hit a hill...

    More charging whoas

    good advise on the cleaning Gunny. I have found that to be a issue many times with the Gen lights and all the other lights on the back of the dash. 30 years of oxidation will do that.

    Zero Rates on Front of 1009?

    Yes the front drive shaft will be fine. I have M1009 axles under my M1008 with 4" lift with zero rates and did not do anything to the drive shaft.

    Zero Rates on Front of 1009?

    Yes I have and it works well... DO NOT move the axle. It does not work so well in the 09 with factory type steering. Just bolt in the block and new U bolts in the factory location.

    turbo function question, no output...

    seals will not cause a no boost condition. There is NO way a worn seal will let that much air past and not every drop of oil in the engine.

    turbo function question, no output...

    If it is a GM5 it has a valve in the back of the exhaust casting. I bet it is stuck open. Its called a wastegate. It is used to let excessive pressure out the exhaust and lower the intake pressure. Factory valves were set in the 10 PSI range.
