lol the issue is most guys have the ECM tuned when they do the conversion and they think the turbo is what made the difference.

Hey jfaulk a couple pages back you've got a picture of your engine with the valve covers and various other parts where they look polished/chromed. Could you share some info about that? I'd imagine it's powder coating and I'd like to do some of my pieces like that but can never find any info about it.

Random question, stumbled upon a Facebook post of drive tires for a semi, and got to wondering why nobody runs a more aggressive tire on dedicated pullers. Is it just that they move to much dirt, creating more drag than what the add in traction?

It’s about the number of biting edges, the gripper and winter deep are two on the most popular tread patterns, they have small tread blocks that grab the track but don’t move a lot of dirt.

Ok, kinda what I was thinking, a bunch of small bites better than a few big bites.

Everything that is yellow that would take the heat is powder coated (water pump, oil cooler etc is just spray paint), turbos are polished ceramic. Peanut cover, valve covers, serpentine bracket, rocker housing and some water and fuel lines I had chromed. Local shops did all the parts.
This is the only part I’m not sure I would do again. The fuel/coolant block is fine but I had the lines done too and it made them hard to install and get to seal. Have to use aerobic sealer on the AN fittings because chrome won’t seal to chrome.

Dude I had no idea those curtains your people put in your Volvo’s were a full set. I thought it was just the sweet one that went in the windshield.
I had no idea it was complete ceiling to floor badassery! You and Leiffi can really pimp those sweet rides out!
Imagine my disappointment when they seem to only come with “Volvo, Scania, DAF, MAN, Iveco and Renault” embroidery.
I could be the coolest kid at the container yard if I could get some. Can’t wait to find out what colors Leiffi has in his. And those are a full 3” tassels, none of those imitation 2” ones that the US spec “Lorry Curtains” use.

Ya it'd be nice to be that cool. Then you could close your side curtains while driving and not have to worry about those shinny things hanging off the sides of the truck and just change lanes...
