Dyno test cost??

I have paid $250. For a test.

Going to do it again in a week. This is not a dealer but a shop in California.

Diesel Truck Repairs & Mobile Service

 

Most Dyno test give you a print out. It will give some information. During stressfully pulls on the motor, tranny, axles and rear tires.

Unless you have a base line from way back you won't have anything to test against. But once you have this done its a baseline. Mine is a baseline from an Inframe and new head. So if it breaks it breaks during the Dyno run.
I'm not into "just drive it like ya stole it". Don't idle
Don't put Lucas oil additive in it.
Just some basic stuff after an Inframe.

Good luck on your Dyno run.

 

The last one I rode on in KW Denver was 1500.00 We were forcing the engine full on work to cruise at 72, then applied resistance to drag it down to hands and knees all the way down to 1st gear. Temps went right up. Which was what we were looking for. But they did not resolve the root overheating issue until another heavy shop finally tore down enough to get at the actual physical scaled and rusted sensor inside the coolant pipe itself on the block. Essentially three separate breakdown type calls totaling around 7000 dollars to hunt up a 100 dollar sensor and wire.

I considered that particular problem with the FLD frustrating because it was killing appointment times and incuring enough expense as to make be get close to asking boss for a newer T2000 and be done with the breakdown mystery machine that was costing us all money. But a good shop found the root cause and fixed it.

Thats my one experience dealing with dynos in heavy trucking and having to handle the billing for it. After riding the thing wtih the seat belt on in the passenger seat (I had been in the berth for about half a day with curtains shut as the mechanics worked on that rig, dyno charges are extra on top of other charges for the day which approached 3000.)

By and large I have stopped taking anything to the dealer for more than one work job order. The last time we showed up with two things to fix, they took the book billed us 7 hours times 70 dollars for labor while the car only needed 2.4 hours of shop bay time physically to get both tasks completed. That drove the bill over 1200 nicely.

It will be a while before we are back.

 

paid $370 for 1.5 hrs in West Aus on the dyno to find a intermittent misfire at the Cat dealer.

they were freaking out at the 610rwhp from a 575factory file and standard injectors

 

DieselTeck_Aus. You weren't using a little Foster's fuel addative, we're ya?

 

No, no fuel additive at all.

Just old school 3406E tip size injectors 3.07kg/minute which basically makes the a 10r8502 with standard 575 7CZ file, a 0000 BW non waste gate turbo and the 800hp marine cam.

No resistors or flash file edits.
