god I need a turbo in my 80......

Looks like Sunriver, an area south of bend I use to vacation to all the time.

So, I've been driving pretty tentatively to get familiar with the new setup. It obviously has plenty of power under light throttle. Yesterday, as an excusable matter of curiosity, I selected 2nd and mashed the throttle... holy sh!t. It's like a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S on mud tires; except it would flip over in corners. We have created a cartoon truck.

definitely need a video of that too!

I'm visualizing this right now with a big smile on my face!

The resulting Cruiser-dog, made from original internals, is shockingly heavy...

(No wonder nothing ever breaks; just eventually leaks/burns oil.)

Still fine tuning some things. Temps broke 70° today, and the warm idle was set too low...

Yep I can lift the corner front tire on my truck in corners if I mash the throttle.

What are you worried about breaking?

There's loads of turbo diesel 70, 80, 100, 200 series pushing huge torque and HP through stock drive trains

the 1hd-fte ECU 'knows' that the transmission is in 1st, and pulls the fuel back so as not to overload the drivetrain.

and that's stock.

True.

Ever seen a broken one?

Nope.

I once watched a driveline behind a kta600 Cummins get pretzeled when someone dumped the clutch with a big load on and got impatient with the right foot.

I’ve shattered a few u-joints drag racing.

1st gear in a h151f is 4.08:1. Assuming you stomp on the skinny pedal, that 500 ft-lbs at 3500 rpm is going to be 2,000 ft-lbs before something breaks loose.

Hopefully it’s the tires. Assuming 35s, it will occur at about 20mph.

Got the warm idle fixed in the 70-degree weather today. Hope you're all happy for me.

FYI, might be selling this beastie in the next few months. There will be regrets; I just have way too many other chainsaws to juggle these days.

(I'll add it to the long list of epic vehicles I should have kept.)

 

[JMM]

FYI, just put a preliminary listing under 80-Series classifieds...

A'ight, here's yer damned video with turbo noises...

Wow. That is amazing. Sounds like a tank!

 

[rdcnj]

id spend all my money on a truck that made me 17 again.....

Isn't that why we're all here? Man am I lost again?!

Awesome build, congrats and enjoy the truck!
