Now that we have gotten past the holidays and found some time here is our long overdue #lildebbie update. We concluded the 2018 season at the Rudy”s event in October. We had a blast at the event and the truck ran great posting a couple mid 8 sec 1/8th mile passes but were still having trouble...

Time for another #lildebbie update. Since the last time we posted the biggest change we made is the injection pump. We went to Farrel Diesel and Seth hooked us up with a 13mm maxed and balanced pump that is now capable of 970cc at full rack. This pump is absolutely insanse, Seth did an amaing...

The tow truck we've had for about two years now but this was the first time we actually got to use it to tow #lildebbie. It was one of those finds on craigslist that was just too good to pass up lol. Its It's a 93 Kenworth K300 88k miles with a Ppump 12v 8.3 cummins (6CT). We rescued it from the...

Lildebbie is back in action after the engine rebuild and with a few upgrades. We ended up getting hooked up with some used mahle power pack pistons from powerdriven and through some other work and trading we ended up with an airdog lift pump and a set of 14mm main studs. Because we plan to take...

Bad news for #lildebbie. We were prepping and testing last Friday at the track so we could be ready to attempt a 13s 1/4 next weekend at Rudy's spring opener. Unfortunately though we had an engine failure on the first pass. We were starting have some signs of an issue before but never though it...

Spring 2018 update: As new years passed and we started to strategize about the upcoming year we began to get excited because we had our truck freshly rebuilt and ready to go with only a handful of passes on it since getting it all back together after the wreck mid-summer 2017. The first local...

This update is over due but we have been very busy and just got the chance to sit down. We made it down to Gulfport MS for the diesel thunder fall event and for once we did not get pulled over and questioned and had no issues with the tow truck the entire way. We did arrive too late for the test...

It’s safe to say we’ve been learning a lot in the journey of this #lildebbie build. In the process of trying to get the motor back together we made a huge mistake and thought we were given non ic pistons from someone we know but it turned out we had 24v pistons and we didn’t even notice until we...

Lildebbie lives again!!! What began the whole box drag racing in the first place was the idea of swapping a 4bt into a Ford Excursion so even though we were having so much fun with the truck that we couldn’t stand pulling the “race” truck apart we had been recently searching high and low for...

Bad news on this update. After a good and consistent performance at the roadkill ziptie drags we decided it was time to give the truck some more fuel. We picked up a mac rack plug from Powerdriven that takes the rack travel from 19mm-21mm to give us a little more fuel at full throttle and maxed...

One of the main reasons we went to the local race was to get Lil Debbie on the dyno. We found out beforehand that it was going to be the same dyno as the one we used the previous year so we were excited to have an accurate comparison. Unfortunately, though the dyno was not at the event because...

With the motor back together and retorqued a few times it was finally time to take Lil Debbie to the track and see what she could do. After two somewhat easy passes and no issues we decided it was time to “let er buck” as the Canadians say. Unfortunately, though we could not get the truck to...

After reading more into Will Terry’s junker build thread and then talking to him over the phone it became very obvious that it was time to pull the motor and tear it down. The idea was to do the minimum necessary to build a motor that could stay together with 100-150hp per cylinder. We started...

Once the racing bug got us, we couldn’t help but find out just how fast we could make this box truck run. It was obvious and easily agreed upon that a compound turbo setup had to be fabricated and tested over the winter of 2016 to be ready for summer of 2017. Rather than buying a newer, better...

Glad to be a part of Competition Diesel. We have been browsing the sight for a little over a year now and finally decided to join. Thought you guys may find our #lildebbie build interesting. Lil Debbie, our 1997 freightliner mt35 box truck, was purchased in August of 2016 and has since been...
