Very nice work. Have you done any mods to the Cummins or plan on doing so?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
yes - the Cummins and donor Dodge was the primary project truck for a while, so the engine was recently rebuilt (0.040" over); probably less than 1000 miles on 'er. pretty basic 12v mods for now: 0.012" injectors, 4k rpm springs, lots of AFC mods, 16.5° timing. i've got around 325-350hp worth of fuel, but only about 300hp worth of air to cool it, so EGTs get high quick.Very nice work. Have you done any mods to the Cummins ...?
thanks. to date, the disc brakes and electric fans were the only major dollar items. everything else is reasonably priced (ebay, mostly)... but there's a bunch of that kind of stuff, so it adds up.Nice job...looks like you and your wallet have been working overtime...
some things went together incredibly smoothly. most of the major items that i thought would be a nightmare have gone relatively smooth, and now the 'small' things are killing me.Amazing project. Glad to see it went together smoothly.
i don't think it would complicate things, but i think i'd choose a different master cylinder. with tandem rears, a hydromax master cylinder designed for tandem rears would be more suitable. i guess it wouldn't much matter if you used a single circuit system. (i've got an adjustable proportioning valve in my rear circuit)Do you think that the disk brake kit that you used would be a good choice for a regular 6X6? Or does the third axle complicate things?
more than that - Steve doesn't have the heavy duty prices on his site. but, self-adjusting, better than 26k lb components, and exponentially better failure mode analysis, and all pre-machined and assembled... worth it in my book.1000$ per axle for the brakes. ouch
i'm actually on the Gnvl/Spart border - Greer/Duncan line.That thing is amazing. Where are you in Greenville?
*GASP* could it be? The worlds fastest DRAG DEUCEtop speed? um, well, the rpm spreadsheet i put together calculates 126 mph at 4000 engine rpm. i won't be trying that.
will do on the rest of the data.
not yet. i've never actually posted a vid, so i need to figure that out...Video of it running???
good catch - yes, it's been tabbed. i will be around this weekend.... hope you tabbed the KDP on that 12 valve before you put it in...
looking forward to seeing this done and might be in Greenville this coming weekend if you are around after the holiday.
well, it was absolutely the most convenient since it was already bolted behind the Cummins. however, the actual tranny in the truck is a rebuilt unit.When you have the time , it would help if you explained the choice of tranny. I always thought the Deuce's was a tough one. I know the nv4500 is smooth shifting but has problems, right or wrong. ...
