Adding 120 HP to a 20 year-old Diesel

In the housing we have our Banks exhaust brake assembly, so if you're towing something that's going downhill, this is kind of an automatic system and it gives you a much more efficient lower restriction output from the turbo. Remember I was talking about back pressure. Yes this. the back pressure drops inside the turbine, just like this interesting, more aerodynamic and larger one, so there is a thing called a warm-up valve on the original turbocharger, it just ruins the airflow coming out of the turbine, we remove it and We do this and this is how it is. it transforms it wow, you will feel this step on the accelerator pedal, okay, yes, okay, we control the brake with these two electronic boxes, one of them has to do with the brake performance, it is observing what the engine does, throttle position, things of that nature, the other one is blocking the torque reverser in your transmission, you're going downhill, so you're using the engine becomes a big air pump, okay, it's out of fuel, so To say it, the power comes from the road through the wheels, through the rear, through The drive shaft in the transmission flows backward through the transmission, so we lock up the torque converter clutch, there is no slip in the torque converter and we increase the line pressure so there is no slip in the clutch.

The packs inside the transmission are incredible, so all the power flows to the rear. Through more than 200 horsepower, braking horsepower can be dissipated when you are under power, we have the hard bench cover, which is unique in this aspect, look at the detail, it is about dissipating the heat of the rear axle, the lubricant is fine, which extends the life of the lubricant but also extends the life of the ring and pinion gears, all the bearing sets and basically the air going under the truck hits these vanes and drives the cooling air into these fins, of course, now the exhaust system is on the truck, uh, we'll be I could see the tip and all of that was made right here, all of it all right here in California, it's all designed here, in fact , things like this are designed right behind us here and up, well, I mean, it's fascinating to me.

Just walking around seeing that you're doing everything here and that's amazing, it's really amazing, you know, starting from one building and expanding to an entire campus, yeah, I mean, it keeps you going, yeah, yeah, I love it. I love it, yeah, so you want to see your truck. I'm dying to see the truck. I'm dying to see it. I saw it before and simply. I have never seen an excursion that looked so good. B, let's go see the truck. All perfect. right, that sounds good, it looks very different, yeah, what do you think of the wheels and tires?
adding 120 hp to a 20 year old diesel
Oh man, that's something that looks good, looks good, yeah, and the type of shock absorbers, yeah, that's it, I know, I know it's not here for that, but you got it, no, I'm so grateful, man , this is something, uh, so let's talk about suspension wheels and tires for a minute. I have my little cheat sheet here. Bilstein made some special 5160s with a remote reservoir which is cool because if you're working off road and riding a bike, lots of fluid, that remote reservoir also helps with cooling, okay, so it helps with a number of things. Tremor, which is a new wheel company, these are the Shaker of it. 17, okay, they look good, you know, and the Falcon Wild Peak R/T, these 35's are starting to fill the wheel well, so things are looking good.

I just love the combination, the whole combination, the tires are crazy. There's the battery, like I mentioned, yeah, right here, yeah, on the ram, a booster tube coming out of the compressor, you can't see the charge, a cooler, it's down here in front of the radiator, okay, so we have a small engine cover. What happens in a little engine cover is crazy, man, how cool is it that it really dresses up, isn't it? So you guys got the Shaw Strength logo and then Banks Brian Shaw, that's the next level, why the hell not? That's the next level man, how cool is it that we have a couple of iDash DataMonster meters from banks and what they both show.
What we're showing, trans seal rise and exhaust gas temperature are the dominant readings we have there. Yes, take a look below, there is a patent on that exhaust tip, it's called, we call it SideKick and this is a sweep design that I've done, it forms a partial vacuum that sucks in the exhaust, interesting, yes, further reduction of the back pressure. God, that's beautiful. man and the differential cover, of course, you have to reach there, but you can lift it up. Oh that's beautiful, it doesn't look like the same truck, not really, yeah, it's amazing how wheels and tires can blow up a truck, yeah, yeah. so I have to say it has been an absolute pleasure and an honor to take the tour to learn about all of you, yes, but after seeing the truck, I have to say that I would really like to receive the keys, okay?
I grant it to you. If I have them, I hope maybe we'll be nice. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it, you're welcome, thank you sir, and that's it.
