Here's a clip of my 4BT powered Hummer pulling against a 2006 F250 Powerstroke.

What are your differential ratios ? Nice TruckIt's a 4BT hooked to a 4l80E with a Compushift computer. I'm running a volvo intercooler as well. The injection pump is untouched. I'm in the process of building a custom intake manifold, once that's complete I'm going to upgrade the intercooler and crank the pump up. The power is good. My truck weighs 6780lbs. empty, and I can pull Sandstone Mtn.(6% grade for 6miles) at 50mph (900egt post turbo) with a 1000lb. load. I debated between 6bt and 4bt for some time and couldn't be happier with my choice.

Did he bust the front U-joint or twist off the pinion yoke - kinda hard to tell the extensiveness of the damage!Here's a clip of my 4BT powered Hummer pulling against a 2006 F250 Powerstroke.

I think that would be the pinion.The Ford snapped the splined shaft in the 3rd member.

He should put a stock 4BT in it, then he wouldn't have to worry about breaking everything LOL!The Ford snapped the splined shaft in the 3rd member.
There's really no way you could twist off a pinion on a stock truck like that unless you were abusing itThe pinion it is. The owner of the Ford told me that 3 dealerships have called him bullshit on breaking it (he told them he was in the field) and said no to a warranty claim. He said it's going to cost him $1100 to fix it.
No offense taken. There's no question it’s a horrible idea. However, I was curious as to what might happen, and the Ford owner talked alot of shit, so there comes a time when you just gotta sack up and do something (I was raised on WWF, Wild Turkey and Testosterone). Fortunately, the Ford broke. In the end I think it’s an entertaining video clip.No offense, but truck pulling on a sticky surface is a very bad idea. I would never expose any of my trucks to such strain. I would do such a thing on dirt or mud.
