: Going to the strip for the first time in my DMax silvermax 07-06-2005, 03:12 PM Im going to the strip thurs nite for test-n-tune and was wondering if the truck will make it down the 1/4 with the OD locked out,I dont want to limp the tranny threw the traps. Im running 285 AT KO's and will be in the 165 mode on my tuner. ratlover 07-06-2005, 03:50 PM You will be shifting into 5th about the 1/8 mile.....or your truck will want to anyway. You need OD if you want a deccent time. If you have no trans upgrades I'm betting with a 165 tune you will piss off the trans. IMO stick it in the 90hp or so level, work on your 60's and just have fun. set your rancho's to all the way stiff too ;) IdahoRob 07-06-2005, 06:19 PM I'm with Rat, lower your tune and work on the launch/lights etc. I ran a 14.7 w/65hp predator tune and had a ball. You won't have much fun with O/D locked out. Rob silvermax 07-06-2005, 11:37 PM Ok thanks guys,I ran the truck tonight on the 165 tune and I backed off the fuel in 5th and pedeled it all the way to 105 or so,if im lucky I can get it to run the full 1/4 on the 165. Thanks for the input. lakingslayer 07-07-2005, 11:48 PM Ok thanks guys,I ran the truck tonight on the 165 tune and I backed off the fuel in 5th and pedeled it all the way to 105 or so,if im lucky I can get it to run the full 1/4 on the 165. Thanks for the input. WARNING! Your gonna need a new tranny soon! silvermax 07-14-2005, 11:39 PM Ok tonight was test-n-tune at my local track,here are my times. All were in the 165 mode and I didnt limp the tranny not one time... 1st run-14.77 91.03 1.96 60' 6lbs boost 2nd run 14.49 91.63 1.93 60' 7lbs boost 3rd run 14.46 91.72 1.91 60' 8lbs boost Man I had a blast tonight,everyone was surpized to see a 7480 lb truck run what it did.... man I was fired up.. WI Huck 07-15-2005, 12:04 AM WARNING! Your gonna need a new tranny soon! :exactly: There is no turning back now, your sir are addicted! Squirrel as much cash away as you can and make some room on the plastic. It is worth it though! :thumb: silvermax 07-15-2005, 01:54 PM Yep im hooked,I was really surprized at how well the tranny held fifth the way it did although it didnt shift into fifth until the 1000' mark. I think it's got a 14 flat in it...:ro) Morse 07-28-2005, 10:50 PM Congrats.. The addiction only gets worse now.. I used to run my dmax/alli with OD locked out when I ran 39's.. I don't think a person could do it with much smaller tires.. Maxter 08-05-2005, 12:29 PM Depending on the power, the tranny is going to shift in 5th sonner and sooner. With the bastard stack alone, the tranny was shifting in 5th exactly at the 1/8 line. Lately with a .78 jet of nitrous (5/64 drill bit) it's shifting in 5th about 75' before the 1/8 line. Since you have a little less power; it makes sense that you're shifting after the line. | ||
