Something is wrong with this truck. every since the St.Francisville bog when we broke the springs on both sides. Left front axle, both rear shocks, two driveshafts and two yokes. Does the front end look like it's pulling like it should? I believe this truck usually "hooks and books" it's not now. For the first time in it's career it didn't place in it's own class. Something is wrong. Back tires are getting it, front is not? 7500 rpm's the whole way!! What do you guys think? www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWFA-v3RYPMThanks, Jeff McCue |

something just doenst look right about that jeff,sure appears as if the front is not pulling as hard as the rear. i agree your truck should be at or near the top in its classes.if something was broke in tc or front axle it would jump and you should be able to hear a clunk if that was the case.definately somethings off there

Hard to tell by video. Could you make a couple of launches and see if all 4 tires are tearing up grass or just pull rear shaft out completely and give it a try.

I'm undecided daughter has T-ball in the morning then I'm going racing. If Iron horse has extra money added like years past might go there, if not head down to Gussies and get in on that Pit Boss and The Bomb race.

It looks like it is pulling. The reason I say that is because of the mud spray on the door is directional like being thrown, as well as towards the rear. Usually if the tire is just rolling it will throw some straight up as well as forward along the wheel well.
A normal speed vid may be an order. Because it is hard to tell, but something does look a little off.
That mud looked rather thick, with narrower passages on the 38's?
I don't know what you have in the front end, but if you have a clutch type diff it may be giving up the ghost?
Chain drive t-case with stretched chain?
Ring and pinion still happily working together?
just a few random thoughts
Did the motor seem to rev more freely like something was slipping
also detroits don't like when axles break they tend to break as well. If that is the case and you need one, I have one 4.56 carrier d60.

Thanks Aaron for all the suggestions !! Been through everything. Even changed out the T-case. Like you said it may have very well been spinning the whole time. We are spooled in front!! Took it for a test spin today it seemed fine!!! Aaron what was wrong with yours? You never really did say what it was? Here is the test spin video! youtu.be/DRocoggAJvwJeffro |

vid looks good to me.
It was the jetting in the carb. Went bigger made it worse, went smaller and it went away.

That's a good thing. I was thinking that when you put on the velocity stack!! So glad you found it!! I'd hate to get beat by a sputtering "Pit Boss" truck! LOL If your running good that won't look so bad on me!!
