My new beater/puller build

[VanillaGorilla]

Why do you say "seem to be" Did you buy those used by chance?

No. They're new, injector guy will tell me if something's fishy

The 14mm is so tempting but I know when it locks up (seems to be a time bomb) I'll be pissed that I didn't just do a P7100, I'm trying to play the VE game a little bit but I also don't want to have the worst running truck everywhere I go... need more 6.5's and IDI's haha

If you bought them new, I'm 100% sure that's what they are. Reason I asked is there was a gentleman over on CF that bought 7x?12? (or whatever) and they said 7x.023 on the side of the nozzle......so he drove them (acted like small injectors) and then sold them as 7x23....

Shouldn't you run a turbo that puts you in a class you can compete in? What are the rules where you will be pulling?

Ideally yes but around here it's basically street diesel and guys with wallets. I'll keep it looking simple and squeeze into street diesel. Not really enough participants to break it down much further

[AHineman]

Gotcha.

[diesel freak01]

Most truck classes are determined by turbo size. Street or stock classes here generally mean you have to have a stock appearing turbo. Then you move to a 2.5 then 2.6 then 3.0 class. May want to check the rules. Hate to see you spend money on a good large turbo and then have to pull with p pumps and big rpm trucks.

IIRC, he is in FL. They only have stock and all out.

Wisconsin boy here. I'm aware of the classes but around here it's pretty much who ever shows up unless it's a large sanctioned event... I can only think of 2-3 of those where I know I'd have zero chance.

Did some stump removal, hurt the hitch that I was going to throw away anyway. Calling it a win since it was fun

[VanillaGorilla]

If anyone is still interested, I got a bunch of 3/8 plate that was, umm, drop at work to strengthen the hitch areas and the spots where the traction bars will mount. Bars are most likely going to be 2" dom 3/8 wall (waiting on price through work) a friend is laser cutting all the brackets for me from a drafting I made.
Today I got every fitting I need to run my fuel system, -12 from tank to filter to LP, then -8 to pump.
Injector nozzles and some stock bodies went out today so hopefully see them soon.
Scored some chrome H2 wheels and 60% Cooper ST's to replace the 20's and mud grapplers.

PROGRESS

[Remps]

Gonna jump a tooth or two with the 7x23's?

[VanillaGorilla]

Most likely, just gonna have to see what it wants. It's a learning curve for me at this level
