It was earlier today, we were all getting geared up for the bachelor party.  (he lives in the country) So we did burnouts, guys would power break all the way up the street (lil more than a 1/4 mile)  Lots of rubber was laid.  5 tires blew out.  

Then everyone put on their good tires and started doing pulloffs.  Everyone lost to a 99 ford f150 ext cab offroad truck.  Total stocker other than a posi (which everyone had)  

He beat dodge with a 360(reg cab long bed), pulled away with a 2002 chevy 1500 hd with a 6.0(?) and my chevy, my buddies chevy (same as mine cept a 94) and a guys 91 chevy.   I must say a lot of people were dissapointed tonight.  So we all drowned our sorrows in our beer.  Must say its pretty damn cool seeing the wires in radials sparking up as a guy power brakes it a long ways down the road.... :(

So is a truck being pulled backwards in 4lo with all 4 tires smokin!  Then we all went to Hooters.  After hooters a local bar and got tanked and watched some....ahem "Entertainment" heh heh heh  I'm so tired i nedd to go to bed.  Specially since its taken me like 20 munutes to write this lol

Where were they hooking up?

 

If the Ford 4x4 had a higher bumper than everyone else, that would explain it.

 

However, depends on the length of the tow strap, and tires too.

Ford torque.

Great. Another "Fordie". As if paco didn't cause enough trouble around here. ;)

Paco, did you introduce pepper32 to the site?

 

Seriously, welcome aboard pepper!

If the truck being pulled backwards was "smoking all 4"by the F@#$, this proves one thing.

 

The F@#$ had more traction, not more power, torque, reliability.

 

The higher hookup point will almost always win, as DiHappy said.  The higher hookup point will unload the rear tires of the lower hookup point.  At the same time, the lower hookup point will increase the "load" on the higher hookup point.

 

4-Lo would help keep the truck from spinning.

Yeah I saw some kids at College doing that, The ford with the 302 won against a 90ish Chevy with a 350, The only reason was because the Ford had the rope on the bumper and the chevy had the rope on the rearend!  I'd have to agree with the fact that if the 4wd was spinning the tires then the Ford had better tires or better traction though somthing.

Also, if it had off-road tires, those will break loose quicker than a regular All Terrain or other street tire.

 

I've had S-10's that out "burnout" my 8.1, but we all know which is FAR more powerful.

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
