[q]I'm just wondering if anyone (hopefully Grampa) has any tips for a first time sled puller? Like what gear should I start in? When I take off, do I hold it wide open and just dump the clutch or ease into it? It's a 2000 Western Star with a 14L Series 60. 7473 injectors, high flow manifold/mufflers. 177287 borg warner turbo. The ECM is wide open and set at 4000rpm (too much?). 18 speed Eaton with 3.90 rears and a Lipe clutch. Any advice would be greatly appreciated[/q]

When you say wide open do you mean rpm or fuel? rpm is set at 4000 what is your fuel set at?

I couldn't tell you exactly. I just sent my ecm away with a list of what I had done to the engine and told the company to write me the best race tune they could. I'm sure if it was sitting on a dyno they could dial it in a little better ------------------------- 2000 Western Star 4964 14L 550 S60 2003 Western Star 4900EX 12.7 500 S60

Customer Testimonials

'Great program, real easy to list engines.'

Mike Howell, Eaglemark 4 Equipment, Ohio, USA

'It took 8 months to sell a Case engine that I listed on DieselEngineTrader.com - but I was very happy because it had been in our inventory for over 3 years! Was very happy with the price I got for it too!'

Rick Fulkroad, Flight Source Inc., Halifax, USA

'We had a Mercedes engine in stock for over a year but were unable to sell it in Belgium - it was an unusual specification for generator use. Once we listed it on DieselEngineTrader.com, we sold it to a customer in England! We get regular inquiries from customers across the world.'

Rob Verhoeven, Hamofa Engines, Belgium
