Jerrod, link no work...please fix, must see

Hmmm...Mr. Cole has been busy.

impressive....

That looks completely stock....

post a pic cannt see it

It appears to be in the TTS booth...question now is....who owns it? Is it just a sticker truck?

Regardless, it is very good to see another ( I assume its a diesel) Pro Mod Diesel Truck.

hmmmmmmmm still cannt see the pic

Please post the pic here as I and a few others cant see it. Thanks :)

finally-----------damn cool truck

27618

Thanks :)

I'm going to nuke the link and move the pic there :)

that truck looks bada$$

Gale Banks unveiled his Duramax powered Pro-mod entry yesterday as well.

Ain't no show truck... except for showing up a few others in the exhibition field. Obviously, someone has been putting in the hours.

Awesome:ro)

Cant wait to see what Steve can get outa her :cool:

Wonder if either of these guys are looking for an driver?:D

I sure that is not a "sticker truck"

I cant wait to hear more details on it. Come on Steve.. Open the hood for us!

:bawl: I want one :bawl:

The TTS truck is going to be my desktop background for months to come.:ro)

why is everyone so tight lipped----hell lets hear what it has

Cummins ):h

Cummins ):h


That would be so wrong.......:rolleyes:

CumminGs -:t

fixed

JCB backhoe motor :ro)

Cummins ):h

That's not even funny :mad:

wonder if its running the power loader 3):h

wonder if its running the power loader 3):h

To be unveiled next year at SEMA!

dunno if its right or not but heard it had a 292 ci inline 6 in it

I don't see the big deal, it's ugly as hell! Now if it lays down some nmbers that's a different story...

I'd rather see that Banks rig run, I bet it flys....

come on nut...you know all this diesel stuff is top secret:exactly:

my desk top is still doits 70's chevy...and still will be for along time until i see another dmax pullin the wheels off the ground:ro) brings back some sweet memories seeing that truck

the speed secret is an external coiled hei

that banks truck is sick.....

no wonder all their stuff is so expensive...must have cost a small fortune to bulid that thing up like that

that banks truck is sick.....
they both are:ro)

Rcently heard of another ProStreet truck that dynoed 900+ on #2 only. And it is a Duramax. Its in one of the southern states. I have no idea who it is or any other info. about it. Just thought I'd through it out there with all this other sekrit skwirl stuff with these two upcoming ProStreet trucks.

Apparently there's gonna be a pulling truck built similarly as well next year.


C-ya :D

And all on a single turbo @ 66#s of boost....

I don't think Steve's truck is going to be running in Pro-Street...
It looks like a pro-mod to me. Like the Predator truck, Keating machine and the new banks truck.

I have no idea what "class" this vehicle I mentioned will run in. I was told its a dedicated drag truck only (don't know if its in a tube chassis and fiberglass body or in a full-bodied truck). I don't think 900+rwhp is going to match up that well against the likes of Keating Machine and others so it may be in a lower level of class (not sure of class designations).

I just hadn't heard any numbers like the ones I posted fom #2 only yet and thought I'd add it into the mix. If the TTS and Banks truck are ProMod (assuming 1200+ rwhp???)thats even better! Whats that relate to as far as times? Estimated 8-sec or faster on good clean passes?


What are estimated power output for the ProMod level trucks? What do they run? Is the Scheid dragster in ProMod?


C-ya

A birdie told me, it's got a Duramax in it, but not an allison:D Should easily be in the 8's

Need more pics and info!!:)

The guy that used to drive the Predator truck is gonna shoe the Banks truck. It is stupid light from what I understand. FYI the current Record in a truck bodied rail is 8.42 at 161. (predator)
Keating Machine has run 8.80 at 158, but he is spotting them about 600 lbs.

What are estimated power output for the ProMod level trucks? What do they run? Is the Scheid dragster in ProMod?
From the math I have seen the Schied rail is making 1100ish

You will see 7's pretty quick next year. There are several trucks that will be running the mod class next year- Including a toyota with a powerstroke in it.

I personally would love to see the TTS truck hand the Banks truck it's a$$. Some have differences with Mr. Cole, but when it comes down to it, he has/is helping many members and the duramax group with ideas and hard parts needed to compete. What has Banks done?

Try to buy anything that Banks runs on there ultra-high dollar race trucks.

Both trucks look way cool and should be great fun to watch all the new entrys next year. Only can dream of driving one of those, come-on lotto ticket:D

Here is a little info abouth the banks truck that was posted in another thread.Here is something interesting that I read today.

BANKS DEBUTS SIDEWINDER D-MAX TYPE-D DRAG RACE PICKUP

Prepped to be the quickest diesel pickup truck in the world, the Banks Sidewinder D-Max Type-D will be unveiled Tuesday, October 31st at the Nitrous Express Booth (#23067) during the SEMA show in Las Vegas.

A full-tube-chassis drag race pickup truck, the Sidewinder D-Max Type-D is fitted with a Banks diesel racing engine. The powerplant is a Duramax 6.6L LBZ V-8 with a Twin-Turbo arrangement and a highly modified Bosch common-rail fuel injection system.

Horsepower yields are 1000+, with quarter-mile times expected in the 7-seconds range.


The Sidewinder D-Max Type-D was designed, engineered and built by Gale Banks Engineering in conjunction with Bosch and General Motors. "This is the latest example of how Banks creates winning street power: by first developing endurance race engines of extraordinary power and durability," said John Espino, Engineering Manager at Gale Banks Engineering. "We put them to the test in complete project vehicles, and then adapt that power to the street." Banks' latest products for diesel and gas pickups, SUVs, motorhomes and Jeeps will be on display Oct. 31-Nov. 3 at the Banks Booth (#24075) at SEMA.

It looks kind of fast.

Well take it around the block and find out :D

take a pic of the little board that is leaned up against the tire there------we need info

I think we (The Diesel Place) need to build a truck.....

We won't have to after McRat sees the picture since he'll have to build one that is faster):h

That looks sweet! I think we need more info/pics! :grd:

Its a sweet looking ride for sure. too bad i can't find the keys :)

A few more.

a chevy, obviously :ro)







what no allison?? :(

Repost :rolleyes: ):h

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112249

This also looks more like drag racing or other vehicles or something like that ):h were is that little red and yellow box now :think: ):h

Nice interior, but why 4 cupholders and only one seat?;) :D

That is what I was going to say.... What no ALLISON transmission.. What was he thinking???

it definately has a hair-dryer powered duramax in it..

:drool: Nice. The Lenco's pretty sweet too.

Wonder why he went Lenco?

Can't hardly stand it. Wish he'd get his butt back from SEMA and do some explainin. I know I'm not the only one twitching with curiosity.


C-ya

Lenco with a Bruno drive is a killer setup!

The TTS truck looks like the kind of insanely fast truck you would see in the pits and be able to walk up to whoever is driving or working on it and talk to them about it.
The Banks, although a nice drag rig, would be towed down from the shut-off area and pull in behind either a screen or some roped off pit section unaccesible to the fans or fellow drivers.

i agree with what rob said, a little help would be nice

Wonder why he went Lenco?



lighter, less power loss, way more :ro)

Lenco's are a true drag race trans.It should be able to handle all that power):h

The truck looks serious Steve great job on the build.

I'm glad to see the truck on the net, Its a really nice looking truck, Its a full on fiber glass body but the unique thing about the body is its a extended cab short box. You can only get this body in a standard cab long bed. So there was some major modifations that took place to make this happen, the truck is extremely light weigh as well. I know Steve put in some serious hours in this project, and had he hands on every aspect of the truck even doing some body work at one time, we fixed his mistakes so you cant see them anymore :) I really have to take my hat off to Steve and TTS for pulling this off, I really do not think he got over 3 hours of sleep a night for the last couple of months on this thing.
I will post some pretty cool pix's in the next few days

Save your money ...there are rides at DisneyLand or Magic Moutain that pull more G's for about $10. :)

I see Max Payne in the first pict and it looks like he might have a hang over. You guys aren't drinking in Vegas are you? ):h

The Lenco is also serviceable at the track and different gear ratios are plentiful. That allows a "pioneer", such as a Duramax drag truck racer, to easily fine tune the tranny ratio's to suit the application. It's also very easy to add or remove speeds. Could be a 3 speed or a 6 speed if needed. Tower pressure or orifices can also be used to change shift characteristics.:)

Nice looking stuff!! I didn't see levers in Steve's truck. Might be air shifted also.:)

Why didn't they go with ...http://www.jericoperformance.com/31b.gif
Here is my Favorite..... AHHHHH YESSS the almighty JERICO... Here is exactly what happems when an employee in the worlds's leading dragrace company says "Screw it, I can do it Alot better,...

First "congrats" to TTS for the excellent buildup! :ro)

Concerning the Banks truck, while Banks is not currently selling components through retail channels, apparently you can buy the entire engine if you have $$$. Banks is not shy about showing their technology to gearheads either. I stopped by to get an intercooler, and they spent 2 hrs with me showing me all the goodies that go into their Dmax. Down to the custom pistons and dry sump oiling system. The same was true for their Sidewinder Cummins. If you are looking for secret squirrels, you aren't going to many of them at Banks.

Trust me, Banks is not the enemy. While they do not focus primarily on the racing-only aftermarket, neither does Edge, Predator, Bully Dog, Hypertech, etc, etc. 99% of the diesel aftermarket is <425hp tunes, so all the big companies aim for what sells.

Currently, the dominant force in diesel hot-rodding is the Cummins. Banks believes the Duramax is a superior performance engine. So in a way, we all have something in common with Banks.

Seeing it in person is even better.):h I can't wait to see what Steve will be able to run when he gets everything squared away... I can't tell you how many times I saw someone come around the corner of the booth and just stop, because they didn't know what to think...):h

The Banks truck at SEMA looked to have more of a show engine than a go engine in it. The turbo chargers were tiny and it only has a single CP3. I know they have the technology to build something more aggressive. There were Banks race intakes displayed in their booth, but when I asked for part numbers they just scratched their heads. The Sidewinder has been around for a long time now and still nothing available to the public. It does sound like Banks will bring their truck to some events next year. I hope they do! I looked all over the TTS truck for the hood latch and could not find one.:confuzeld Steve is not accepting driver applications either. I tried! The TTS truck is not something that was just thrown together. Every detail was built to the extreme! Good job Steve, but now the expectations start mounting. :grd:

The truck is a full size 2500 2wd extendcab short box. We built it to see what we could do with a full size truck just the same as most of our customers have. We could have built a S-10 like others have done but that just not what we wanted to do. We know we will be giving up 1000 lbs or more in the weight area and a bunch of airo drag but it's what we thought represented our customers trucks. The engine is an LLY based engine with twin turbo's. All the hard parts developed for the truck are going to be offered for sale so it becomes a very good test bed for our parts. The truck is about 80% complete at this point and it should be ready to do some racing next season. We will run it two ways, #2 only and #2 with NOS.

So the truck has a stock 2500HD frame and a full steel body just the same as your customers' trucks?

I think you are reading into this a bit much.... Everyone knows it isn't a stock frame...

An LLY.....Tommy likey!:ro)

Gee mike, I see you have one of those fancey allison trannies in you truck...all us regular guys have Lenco trannies...must be nice):h ):h

I think someone is making excuses because a certain S-10 is going to be tough to catch, much less run with. If I was going thru the trouble to build a race truck I'd start with the the smallest profile body and build the lightest chassis.

How can a fiberglass bodied Silverado on a tube chassis represent your customers trucks? Why make excuses? I would have believed "I like the Silverado body better than an S-10" or "I got a good deal on the Silverado" or something instead of "it's what we thought represented our customers trucks." Who's really going to believe that?

I see nothing wrong with their statement...I own a full size truck...not an s-10...and I think it would be great to see a full size truck...with or without a factory frame...getting record speeds...why...because I own a full size truck and not an s-10...I could give a chit if an s-10 is the fastest thing out there..but to see something that resembles my truck haulin arse...yeah I think that would be pretty cool...

Amen.....X2

I agree with the last two posts in that I'd like to see a full-size truck punching out the quick times HOWEVER the excuse given for why the full size body is being used is a bit far fetched IMO as others have mentioned.


C-ya

Maybe he should of just said "cause he wanted to"!:)

Maybe he should of just said "cause he wanted to"!:)


I would have believed that.

Didn't TTS already build a steel frame steel body as GM delivered truck by the name of Salty?

Um yes ;)

I think it's awesome that TTS has taken it to the NEXT level and build a full race vehicle that represents the truck that is what we all own!

No need to be sour

There are about 9-10 Mod trucks either running or in the works for next year. This should be really cool.

The engine is an LLY based engine with twin turbo's.

of course its an LLY, the far superior generation of all the duramax's :D :ro)

awesome build up steve, cant wait to see how it does when its finished

ben

Any idea how long before she makes her maiden voyage?

By just going on how long it is taking to get the PL III out, I think my 401k should be matured before we see that thing on the track.

So anything other than a Silverado bodied truck shouldn't count when discussing the fastest Duramax powered vehicle?

I would expect no less from Tomac

):h thanks

I'm just sad that a perfectly good 03 style fiberglass body and tube chassis was wasted on a drag race car. It would look sooo much better a foot higher and sitting on cepeks.

Nice truck though!!! It will be cool to root for more than one high dollar race duramax out there on the strip.

How much does it weigh? I know some guys that run a TTS Extreme at truck pulls and have about 2-300 lbs hanging on the front. So I figure they weigh about 7700lbs on an average day, so I'm guessing this truck is around 7700lbs? ......For parts testing purposes.

I got to see all the parts when I was at TTS in September, it wasn't painted yet and looks way better now. Saw the engine too, every piece of it. My twin turbos looked like actual hair dryers next to the ones he is putting on this truck. I really want to know what races you plan to take it to Steve, come up to Diesel Thunder in Spokane in August, that would be a great venue. Also Seattle both of those are really good tracks.:grd: :grd: By the way Michael, my new regular cab is not a Silverado, not a Sierra either, it's a GMC work truck, hope there is a class of fast Dmax's for it or Nathan and I better stop working on it now.;)

I'm in the process of mounting a dmax engine and tranny to my son's skate board, but it will have 2500 HD badges on it :)

I can't wait to see it! As long as you put some GMC badges on it, it will represent my truck. Good luck and post pics!!):h
