Little update on the truck. I would like to thank Vincent (vin63). I set my IC at 62" out and 2.6" up and the truck hooks great. I have been fighting trans problems all year. The Allison would not hold up to all the power, so I started talking with people and they told me I need to get a BTS 4R100 trans. I had an adapter made to go from the Duramax to the Ford 4R100. Had Brian build me a trans and installed it with a PCS trans computer. I went to the dyno last week to get the trans all dialed in and the truck dyno'ed 960hp on the small race tune. Witch is 40 more hp then the Allison on the small tune. On the big tune the truck made 1105hp. I went to the track last Wendesday and on the small race tune it ran a 9.62@146. On my 2nd run I blew a boost tube. I was so happy to get the trans problems figured out. This Saturday was a Diesel Shoot Out at my local track. My first run of the day on my small tune I ran a 9.43@148 with a 1.44 60ft. The best thing is my front tires come off the ground about 2" off the line. That has been a goal of mine since I started this project 3 years ago. On my 2nd pass I ran a 9.59@146 with a 1.43 60ft. I thought since the trans was working so good and the track prep was great I would put it on the big tune and see if I could get a 8.9@15x. When the truck hit 3rd gear I herd a snap and the motor hit the rev limiter. Well that bullet proof trans is not so bullet proof. I snapped the input shaft in half. Brian told me he has never had one break before and they are made out of 300M material. He is having some new shafts made out of Jasco 1000 material, I'm not even sure that is how you spell it. He said I will not have to worry about those shafts breaking.
