I was surprised (short story)

[eracers999]

As i was traveling north bound i 35 north i could see way up ahead somthing that i thought was in trouble. It was the rear of a trailer that had smoke rolling around the rear of it and i mean alot of it. As i got closer and closer i got a better look and it was a tripple axel race trailer about 45 ft and what ever was pulling it definatly was really puttin the diesel in the air. I thought to my self that there is no way that is a 6.5 because they cant put that much out there, when i got up along side it ill be damed if it was'nt a 6.5. I departed thinking that these motors must be tougher than people think they are to be able to take what must have been a real ass kicken in the pyrometer readings dept.

Probably needs a Turbo-Master, like the rest of us.

Was he going 55mph on flat ground with a tail-wind?

[rjschoolcraft]

I don't have a turbo master and don't need one. ;)

[markrinker]

...or some attention to the operation of the boost controls, as Ronnie Joe points out.

I was actually in my car going about 80 and it took quite a while to reel him in. He was doing 70 plus. I just knew he was burning it down.

I'm just trying to keep some balance, that's all.

If it ain't broke, don't fix... My vacuum wastegate control works great.

How do you know it was a 6.5 under the hood? There are around 5 12V swaps in my area. Most have mods done.

What is a 12V swap ?

A 12V (twelve valve) is a first generation Dodge/Cummins engine.

LucasEnglish;
Some things in life you just know. The 12v conversion is not popular in this neck of the woods.
