Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

No im way too white for the med schools in new mexico! Lol but seriously they just want first generation "Chicano" students who are bilingual ect. And im just a 6'5 285lb x college football player/ogar so basically the exact opposite of what they want! I was accepted to the university of Miami-Miller School of Medicine in Miami, university of colorado in denver, Tulane and LSU in New Orleans, and USC in Southern California.
So ive been pretty fortunate i have a few options, but im defiantly not gonna go to USC, my family lives in denver area and my wife's family is from looserana so maybe one of those areas but my mom, uncle, an aunt, and two cousins went to Miami-Miller so that's the obvious choice... personally i just wanna build monster trucks and tube frame chassis for ultra 4 buggies, rock, crawlers, roundy round cars, and big ghey mud trucks, but nobody seems to understand why lol

you got that thing running yet??

Edit: Driving

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Lol yea, i had to have it running by sema. The problem is i havent put sway bars on yet so its a pain in the ass to drive cause it squats to one side then to the other. So i need to make some just ordered the pillow blocks so hopefully it will be jumping in no time!

awesome work

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Any updates?

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Actually yea. Bad news though..... So while the truck was at sema it basically only ran for about 2 minuites total, just enough to get it off the trailer and into its spot. When i brought it back home i just kept it on the trailer and spent time with my wife for a bit cause i kinda missed her for the last 8 months of working on the truck lol. Then i went out to turn the motor over and i could hear this grinding noise coming from the blower snout, thought thats odd i wonder what that is. So i pulled a spark plug off and bumped it again and could hear the grinding in the supercharger still so i pulled off the inspection cover for the blower snout and this is what i saw......

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

So the machine shop who assembled the motor and dynoed it for 20 minutes "forgot" to put any gear oil in the blower snout, it ended up screwing up the 4 of the 6 Teflon strips on the rotors, knocking the barrings out of balance, and fried the gears....

No worries though, Don Hampton at Hampton Blowers came to the rescue and fixed it free of charge! (900 dollars in parts and labor). Oh and he even called the machine shop and let them have it! Great dude and awesome customer service i really hope i have an excuse to put a blower on another motor just so i can use his product again!

Blower Timeline:
Figured it out on Sunday 11/18
Sent it to him monday 11/19
He got it on wendesday 11/21
Sent it back to me with tracking number 11/23
Scheduled to be at my door Tuesday 11/27

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

WHOA!! Words could not fathom the amount of anger I would have had. I would take the truck and run over the machine shop after that

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

:lol: LMAO! Same here!


Man, sorry to see that. That is a really bad deal. That's awesome of Don to do that. I may have to look into him for a supercharger kit for my hemi when the time is right. I can't wait to see a vid of this monster doing it's thing!!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Better yet put one on your longhorn along with the twins!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Lol yea i verbally bodyslamed the guy. Hes an angry old man (call him mr scrooge!) which makes it worse, just not a nice guy even when he was blatently wrong all he said was oops i guess i dropped the ball... He used to build motors for don schumacher racing then for one reason or another moved to new mexico lol.

Eh owell its all taken care of now....

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha yea its pretty schweet. I acutally got the blower back today so threw it on and fired it up. The thing is stupid loud. Took it around the block which turned into "on site testing lol" Before i knew it the brakes were glowing red and i was out of fuel. No kidding lol. It took everything i threw at it and then some. I think it may be a little bit too much horsepower for my liking....

HA yeah right as if there is such a thing!!! I just need to adjust the rear nitrogen shock pressure cause if you romp on it it will just squat real hard till you let off. Theres still alot of testing and tuning prior to a video lol.

Fab wise it seems to be holding up really well the frame is really stout and for how big it is the weight seems really balanced out!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Holy hell. I'd be pissed for sure. Glad that Don stepped up and fixed someone else's mistake. That's customer service that I love to hear about. Post a youtube video so I can drool some more. I wish I had half your talent.

Loved the turkey picture. Every guy at my plant wants one now. Better get that patent quick!
