Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
questions you'll be able to answer after watching this fascinating video:
1. Where is the Greg and Dusty going? 2. How far did Americans drive per day before DIVOC? 3. How many shake down miles is the Greg trying to put on the truck? 4. How old were you when you got your driver's license? and more... DIY EV Conversion GMCe Update: To Home Depot The Long Way Part I _ |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Wow, I am so impressed I am willing to send you a $25 dollar gift card to AMAZON, [not kidding, PM me your email address] or you can go for double or nothing on the next video aka Part II when it uploads on Friday, twice the questions for twice the reward?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Just a reminder to cast a vote for this amazing build. I appreciate all the candidates this month but to hand build a fully functioning ev in your garage is truly next level.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
today is the big day, we are going to go get Dusty dynoed at a place called Holeshot Performance in Sacramento California, judging by these pics they seem to be Chevy Truck Friendly, CTF, we spoke to a nice guy there named Rick who will allow us to take pics and shoot some talkies

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
more vertical dyno videos (I think YouTube limits us to 60 seconds so I tend to post a bit longer ones, 90 seconds on the_gregski Instagram) a longer format video is being edited as we speak, or I type and you read (you get the idea, lol)
for any of you Nor Cal guys and gals, this place Holeshot Performance is in Rancho Cordova off of Sunrise Blvd and White Rock and Rick and Jake (and Rick's wife) are salt of the earth people, the shop is brand new and the cleanest one I have ever been in |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
sorry, I had trouble editing that video my production crew is already running on holiday brains, lol
122 hp @ 42 mph using only one motor not both (on a 60% charged battery pack) 219 ft-lbs torque (this was estimated since we had no useable RPM signal) CAR SPECS

Vehicle RPM Hook Ups with Dynojet Automotive Dynamometers
this video goes over the five different ways you can send RPM signal from the vehicle to the dynamometer (maybe two of these could work for the EV, what do you think?)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
So at the moment, you are getting 6 cyl power levels? That will do some work.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
The final touch after your final power levels are found is to add fake exhaust stacks that blow bubbles as you drive.
