Gooseneck pulling up hill. Too fast.

Pulling a 35' gooseneck up hill with my '98 Cummins. Gooseneck has a big Jeep, a Lifted Tahoe and an off-road golf cart on it.
We crested the hill at 95-ish mph.

I realize that this is not the biggest hill, but it's the only real hill that I ever haul a trailer on.

I beat the living heck out of the truck in the sand dunes, and then drove it home with the trailer on it 3 days later.

HX-40/S400 turbos, Helix-2 cam, springs, etc. Ported and o-ringed head. tuned and balanced Injection pump. SBC 3850 Clutch. Fluidampr, Spearco CAC, 23° injection timing.

I've since backed off the timing a little for better in-town drive-ability.

Take care,

Phill

Well I thought I'd address some comments. I'm not sure how to post pictures of the load to youtube. The last time I tried it would not allow links. Maybe I could make a video of the pictures . . . not sure how to do that. I can't be sure how long the trailer really was, but it was a triple axle with a deck above the goose neck, and the Tahoe, Jeep and colf cart.

Yes, the truck sees 60psi and 4k rpm almost daily. It now has 225k miles. The road we were on is US31 north of Muskegon, MI.

I kept the EGT's safely below 1300 pre-turbo.

There was a lot more left for power, but I was keeping the engine safe.

That was almost 3 years ago now, and I still drive the truck mostly every day, and I have not had to do anything to it yet. I have just over 212k miles on it now . . .

It sees 4000 rpm and 60 psi boost almost every time I drive it.

towing at 95mph means your license should be revoked and you shall be sent to grade school to learn basic skills in life you fucking retard :)

1. this is not a hill

2. this is not 95....

3. why the fuck would you have an HX40 as your small turbo on a twins set.... cause that has to be one of the slowest spooling twin setups there are
