Ran my truck on a DynoJet at a show here locally & am not impressed. Proceeds went to Relay for Life, so it was for a good cause, but supposedly this guy had just done abunch of diesels down south somewhere.
Made me appreciate Dunbar and his experience and professionalism that much more! Looking forward to some diesel events later this summer.
The company doing the testing was "Track Lab" and the owner was pretty much a jerk complaining about how much my truck "leaked" (its called road draft tube - look into it). The first time he made me pull off. I cleaned up the underside of the truck and came back, but he continued to be a prick about it for the remainder of the day. Those of you who've seen my truck know it is hardly a superfund site.
They had me run the truck in 3rd with the lockup switch off, claiming his dyno would sufficiently load the truck and "pull it down" (which it didn't), and then STARTED all the pulls at 2500 RPM! First pull was like 600 lb ft. :doh:
I put it in OD and flipped the lockup when they weren't looking, and got the guy to start at 2300 or so for the last pull before the prick owner shouted about me having too many pulls and to get it off the rack. I still ran 481/1068 on #2 only, but my graph (not a curve) looked like BP's stock price over the last month - just a straight line down! Would've been nice to get some good numbers instead of just wasting my time. :banghead:
Anyone else ever deal with this clown? Maybe I caught them on a bad day? I was actually going to run the truck with some different injectors later but decided to pass - bad data and I just could not take that guy's mouth anymore. At least it was for a good cause.
Suffice it to say I appreciate Dunbar that much more - I always liked him but didn't realize how good I had it!
