Heading to the DYNO

[Greg Z]

I dropped everything I was doing and also called in a favor., which means I'm headed to the dyno. Its freaking 2.5 hours away but I'm doing it. We will know soon enuff if this truck has an issue or not. Wish me luck!!!

Good move, best place to start.

 

[Begood]

Good luck. Make sure after towing for 2.5 hours that you cool your truck down a little before your pull.

Sorry to hijack but wouldnt it burn up the clutch by towing with the RCs?

I don't know as much as Billy on the subject, but I do know that he pulls his Duster on a trailer (just under 5,000lbs) and has not had any issues with pulling. He doesn't like using the 10 to pull the Duster, but right at the moment, it's the best vehicle to do it.

It all comes down to how you use the clutch. If you don't strain it, you can tow even with the stock clutch.

No, maybe just a quad cab 4X4 Ram.

Awe thanks baby - but I added one requirement

I've got the wing - just need the truck :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 

[Greg Z]

I'm back!!! What a long day.

First, as far as the towing. I made an app. 2 months ago to drop off my Twin Turbo Vette at the shop today. Of course I was gonna use my 07 Silverado but when I talked them into dyno'n my 10 today ...well....why not kill 2 birds with one stone?!!! And I took it real easy on the clutch.

OK, for what everyone is waiting on.

just a reminder, truck is stock cept for a FLO PRO muffler added by the PO.

o' and just for comparision sake, they did 3 runs on a stock truck last Dec in 71 degree temp and the runs were 428 and 430

temp 83
First run: 374 . 409tq

Change the midpipes, no converters. Most bang for the buck.

 

[DevilDawg3097]

dude those are qc numbers sounds like you a have cam issue.

 

[DevilDawg3097]

check your vin number for recall on your cam. they supposedly fixed it but it the PO didn't know much about the truck then they would not have known about the loss of power.
