That’s nothing.
Try it in a landfill once where you can’t see where the holes are from the trash all over the place, only to find one when you pull up.
I think I aged a year just in that 5 minutes.

Oh no didn't mean to sound like I was bragging. I've seen em lay over, just can't imagine how someone watching would think yeah that's an acceptable amount of lean to keep goingPoleCrusher, D.Tibbitt, clausland and 8 others Thank this.

Not a problem. It’s just that sometimes it can’t be helped, and for someone new to dump trailers it can be quite unnerving. I learned that lesson well.PoleCrusher, D.Tibbitt, MOBee and 8 others Thank this.

Bit of a rant/ and a very good learning experience for us both. You cat and 60 ser guys have it easy Lol. Known tune's, turbos, cams, etc what parts to build together. We dove in the dark Lol.
Called Antrim for the hell of it since this other pump guy is slower than molasses. They wanted 5k to build a 13mm pump

No thanks, will wait for the old slow guy Lol. The guy Rich was very helpful tho and knew his stuff. He said we need about 650cc to hit 650hp. We're pushing 435cc out of this pump. No idea what the semi-electric flows for cc but the guy from Antrim said 525cc roughly.
This has been one heck of a learning experience for my dad and myself I'll say that. Felt like ripping out our hair at times.........like going from 42psi with semi-electric pump to 28 on the mechanical Lol............all pumped up after waiting a full year and bam WTF WTF. Going from ~600hp to ~450 (maybe closer to 400) really makes you appreciate the power.
Gonna try one other thing for now but I need a special tool for pulling the barrels/plungers out. Have the B/P off the electronic pump (minus 1 cracked barrel) pull em out and see how they look. If they look good buy 1 new one and put it in the pump now and see what it does along with full cut DV's. Then we might not even need the 13mm. I was very happy how it pulled before.
On the bright side at least the partial miss is gone Lol
End rant/ After I'm old and my dad's long gone I'll never forget these memories. I'm so lucky being able to do all this and get paid for it.
Enjoy the weekend

It is quite a bit louder inside. Modified trucks and tractors are the worst. VERY hard on my ears.BigBob410, PoleCrusher, clausland and 10 others Thank this.

My truck has this torque percentage gauge in the dash. It accelerates at 80% in gears 1-10 and 90% in 11-12. It’s probably the peppiest thing on our lot. It sucks on a day I might have to drive somebody else’s pig sty because the shop idiots waited until 5 minutes before I punch in to start a PM in it even though they were there all night, only to find that this POS only pulls at 50%.BigBob410, PoleCrusher, Eldiablo and 7 others Thank this.
