I'd like to once again thank Eric for the traction bars. I really enjoy having them on the truck

[PToombs]

Just remember .....up around 150mph lift slowly when slowing back down.....never lift all at once.

Why? I don't remember a problem when I did it before.

[RCCUMMINS89]

I'm glad you like them.... Put EFI on the 06 tonight.... not too bad. Torque converter threw in the towel though.

tank slappers

[DMan1198]

Yeah. They really help with the standing out thing

Bummer your tc threw in the towel. What kind of tune were you running?

[RCCUMMINS89]

Well... it didn't really throw in the towel... it just isn't passing half the power through that it could. I can hit about 3600 rpm.... that's a lot of slip.

And right now we are using Anarchy tunes... we will be doing the custom stuff.... but for now, I want to use what is tested to be top notch.

Anything under about 35 and the truck is instantly sideways.

[DMan1198]

Well that's fun. What gears does it have? Mine rarely gets loose except from a dead stop, and even then it hooks right up, and goes.

Eric, my buddy has Starlight tuning. Zach had a stock trans tune for him. Put 420hp down and he ran it for 2 years with that tune before upping it when he got a Firepunk trans. It was a really fun truck before the trans, a beast after.

Stress test came back ok. Didn't take long to get my heart rate to 178bpm and my blood pressure to 168/120. So now on to other tests to find the random rhythm that keeps appearing.

Is the random rhythm while your at rest only.?

Have they had you carry around a recorder for a few days?

[oldestof11]

Yes it's a rhythm at rest. Has to do with me breathing. According to Doc, when you inhale your heart picks up. You're born with it but as you get older, it does it less. Mine is still very active. He's thinking more towards thyroid now. The way my heart reacted to stress snd the blood work both suggest that.

Is this a GP Doctor?? If it is make sure he is consulting with a Cardiologist. Here is a link with the meaning of that last word.

I had the same problem. When all the tests were done and I was half dead from all the stress tests.

They finaly decided that later in my life I would need a pace maker. Well 25 years later I got that little contraption.

[RCCUMMINS89]

So a weird at rest heart rate isn't normal.......crap. LOL.... no, I've always known that, but I've got the same thing. When I exercise my heart rate is normal (and can get EXTREMELY fast). I can easily get my heart rate around 250 when exercising. At rest I'm around 50, but it skips beats and then beats extra hard and crap.

Hope it's simple and heals itself Jon. I don't go to the doctors office until I'm incompatible of functioning. When I go it's never good.

That's what mine was doing. At rest it was skipping beats. When I started any movement no issues.

You rate is low also. 50 is low. Normal they say is 60 to 80 on the rate.

The day I had my pace maker put in I saw a bunch of medical people about to panic. My heart rate was down to 25 and they couldn't get it higher. They were scrambling to say the least. I was 75 miles from the nearest hospital that could do a pace maker. All heli's were spoken for from Indy for 3 hours out. They found one out of the FT Wayne hospitals.

Keep a close watch on your heart rate. If you see it dropping lower than you all ready are. Heard for a ER.

[RCCUMMINS89]

All doctors have just told me that my heart rate is low at rest due to me being in shape..... whether that be true or not who knows. But has always raised my curiosity is how extremely fast my heart races with minimal movement. I'll exercise right next to a bunch of other people... they'll almost all be around 180, and I'll be at like 260 lol. Feel fine though.

You'd think with Obama care I'd have insurance..... nope, I'd rather pay. I need to get insurance though because the older I get the more I notice that it could be an issue.


Jon, keep us updated!
