On the way to the car meet tonight I did some ricer roll racing against a 2003 Reg Cab Short Bed 2wd 5.7 Ram. The first 2 runs were @ 65 & 70. The first run he got the jump big time, and I pulled to his front bumper and let off at the end of 2nd gear. 2nd run we left at the same time and his front bumper was at my rear bumper shortly after I shifted into 3rd probably around 90. The third race was from 50 mph, both leaving at the same time. At the end of 2nd (85? mph) I had half a length to a length. All races were done on an abandoned highway in Mexico. His best time at the track is a 14.69 I believe @ 92 stock truck, with a 2.1 short time.

Holy fWon that's a quick truck stock! :thumbs: I expected you to beat him, but I didn't think he'd be that close. Thank God for Zippy. :D

Definitely, I was pulling on him every race, just not that fast! That truck definitely has balls!! I kind of expected what happened, he's only 3-4mph slower in the 1/4, his extra cubes and TQ are kind of trumped by his weight, so the extra little bit of HP/tune and less weight I had ftw!

 

edit: I had no idea reg cab short bed 2wd Hemi's ran 14.6's stock? Aren't they like 14.8-15.1ish?? I dig raced a Rumble Bee a long time ago and held my own. He spun off the line some but he never caught up? SCT doesn't make tuners for those trucks until 04...unless he has a superchips hand held...He has a 12 second Fox body and a Big Block Jr dragster, I don't see him keeping this thing stock. :nono:

Glad you beat the Hemi.

My brother has one, either a 2007 or 2008. Not sure which.

He thinks it is about the fastest thing on the planet. :D:thumbs:

 

He has challenged Darkanion's 2007 Denali to a dragrace.

 

I want to see the Hemi get beat...BAD...by the GMC. :nono::lol::D

Tuned 6 speed Denali's are hitting high 13's low 14's in the 1/4, he should be fine :shakehead:

lets go, Im down for a run, if you put the stock tune back first :shakehead:

 

 

I think you may have your hands full even with tuned 5.3 against a stock tuned SD.

 

 

Mike are you sure about those times? Because a Tundra 5.7 runs in the 14.6-14.8 range stock and I know a stock Dodge Hemi is not running with a Tundra.

RCSB Tundra's are in the lower 14's stock. The crew cab 4x4's are probably high 14's. The 5.7 Ram I raced was the same configuration as mine, RCSB 2wd. I don't think it should run 14.69's stock either though, so he's probably got a hand held or something he's keeping secret. :shakehead:

Hey Felix, I hope to have my exhaust on this week or weekend. I will let you know when I have the mufflers in my possession if you are still interested.

 

Sorry to thread jack.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
