ForceFed4g63 03-15-2013 11:19 AM

I know for a fact Chris wouldn't put this up without his permission

ElecTech 03-15-2013 11:23 AM

1998ta__1991rs 03-15-2013 11:34 AM

nothing was hurt, just a big flash, the converter split at the weld and dumped trans fluid all over the headers

DolSVT00 03-15-2013 12:04 PM

Yes, I pooped my pants when it happened. All I could think as I was sitting in the driver's seat was "this is gonna hurt"

DIGGLER 03-15-2013 12:14 PM

It wouldn't have mattered. You would think it would, but it wouldn't.

I also would have pooped myself.

Saw pictures. Pretty f'd up. better there then on the big end for sure.

RoadconeTuning 03-15-2013 02:15 PM

holy shit. woot for randy still having his feet

Foose04 03-15-2013 02:49 PM

That was a tough 24 hour period for trucks. No body got time for slinging fluids on hot headers!

Glad she/you/everyone there is alright.

1BAD4DR 03-15-2013 03:06 PM

We are hell aint we rob? Converter broke in 2 pieces

bambooi 03-15-2013 03:19 PM

Sucks this happened to your new ride, but it doesn't sound too costly.

03SVTCOBRA 03-15-2013 04:20 PM

That was wild for sure. Luckily it wasn't during the regular dyno day with a shop full of people. I hope to see that truck back on the rollers soon, was making a bunch of power before the breakage.

Blower slut 03-15-2013 04:54 PM

i about pissed myself...was not expecting that to happen!

Carlrx7 03-15-2013 05:14 PM

Did the converter try to lock or something?

Its going back on very soon, probably with more boost and meth injection, i feel it will be an easy 600/700 truck and mid 10s

98nbmz 03-15-2013 09:44 PM

That was crazy to say the least. Twas an eventful night!

spdracr0 03-15-2013 10:09 PM

Those huge fireballs can be really disorienting, mine have been nitrous induced when the car got a bad case of the hook or was a lil down on power....it is actually amazing how far you can pitch a carb that was originally bolted to the intake

Bradleyrj 03-16-2013 08:28 AM

So was the convertor folks held responsible? Did they fix it right?
