Almost Crashed At 120MPH!! Scariest Drag Strip Pass Of My Life... After Running My Fastest Pass Ever

[@JHDieseland4X4]

For anybody asking The Front end is tight. Ive double checked it a few times. The Gearbox has some play but that's about it. Ball joints and all tie rods are tight and good and well greased. I believe we have 1 possibly 2 issues. The Trac bar is at the proper angle which is achieved by a drop bracket but it is still a factory style Trac bar. One end has a bushing that has a little bit of play. Im gonna get rid of the bushing style and go with something else. Honestly the play is so little it's very hard to tell. It has never given us an issue before even cruising down the interstate at 80MPH. I think this was one of those perfect scenario moments. On top of that the truck has no front sway bar which lets the truck have a lot of torque roll off the line and when you let out of the throttle. These Issues will both be addressed before we take it back to the track!! Just glad it wasn't any worse... And for anybody telling me not to run the truck down the dragstrip because it's a big diesel and it shouldn't be raced.... Get that negative energy outta here!!!!!! If they will let me run it on a track you bet your ass I'm gonna try it!!! LOL

[@benhollingsworth8024]

That was sketchy asf! youll get it fixed and get that 10 second pass!

[@monkeysuck3000]

I put the synergy off road front steering kit on my second Gen super beefy setup with fox stabilizer and get a adjustable track bar

[@marcpost5989]

Add at least 2 quality steering dampeners. Will help tremendously

[@launceherron]

Definitely a track bar doing the dodge death wobble

Bad or week Steering stableizer causes death wabble bad

I definitely don’t miss it either lol

I had one first time I ever rode a Honda 250cr 2 stroke. Just happened to be on the sand dunes. Scary stuff, haha. It was my first time on a dirt bike to top it off.

[@carlpreston1680]

Don't forget about the kingpin 60 in a k30 mine death wobbled at 30 miles an hour and it shot the front grill out and ripped a brake pad off it's pretty much what that truck did at 120

[@FullSendFarm]

Death wobble is where the fun is 😂😂😂 (jeep on tons and 42s so "I know"!!)

[@austincassell4741]

You shouldn't be experiencing death wobble with one tons..... You should look into what you did wrong on your steering

[@FullSendFarm]

@austincassell4741 I know exactly why it does it lol. I'm not running street tires, I have 42" tsl"s on weld on beadlocks. It's a rock crawler that can be drove on the street. I didn't put alot into "balancing" the tires due to it only death wobbles around 35mph and momma didn't raise no b... 🤣 so I just drive through it to 45+ and not worry about it. I could probably throw some balance beads in them and help but it really don't bother me, it's become more fun than a nuisance as I can roll into 35 with an unexpecting passenger a scare the shit out of them🤣

[@Familyrootsllc]

You don’t know how to install nothing bub 😂

[@ClumsyCars]

@@FullSendFarm You have unbalanced tires, not death wobble.

[@FullSendFarm]

@ClumsyCars I have death wobble, there's a huge difference bud. I'm not a rookie at death wobble.... I've owned 100s of jeeps I know the difference 😉

[@bcrossphotos]

Those death wobbles are no joke, always surprised they don’t just tear things apart.

[@justinzieverink5756]

Add as much caster to the alignment as you can, ideally 7-12 degrees if possible. Done it many of times on all different gens of mopar straight axle vehicles!

[@9rjharper]

Yep. Caster shake.

[@russellharper3027]

I studied why this happens to sprint cars sometimes when they don't have enough caster. It's caused by gyroscopic precession slightly lifting one side of the axle, which causes the steering to turn slightly one way, which causes the opposite side to lift slightly, which causes it to steer the other way, then it repeats over and over really quickly, causing caster shake, aka death wobble.

That there my friend is a loose front suspension.. lol😂. Really like the content bud

[@701chevy9]

Im sure he hasn't done anything to the wheel bearings either lol

[@carlpreston1680]

Wasn't there something in those second gen Dodges and third gen Dodges like a missing crossmember in the front of the frame that caused the death wobble

[@paullane7489]

I’m not sure how you have your lock up switch wired, but there is a way to wire the switch where it won’t lock the converter until the transmission is in 2nd or a higher gear. What that does is it allows you to stage in 1st gear, go ahead and flip the lockup switch, and then when you shift to second the converter will lock up automatically giving you once less switch to hit while you’re going down the track. That’s actually the most common way I’ve seen a dodge lock up switch wired, so yours may already be setup like that. Just something to consider trying. It would definitely be easier than trying to shift to second and flip the lockup switch all at the same time you’re going fast accelerating down the track.

[@HardNorthOutdoors]

that pop right before decel and death wobble was odd. that death wobble reminded me of my XJ years some 20 years ago lol

[@ZedTee77]

I reckon by the way he looked to the left when the pop happened and he said the mustang was smoking at the end I’d say the pop was the mustang not the truck, just coincidental timing that both happened at the same time

[@nealfox1976]

I live about 2hrs away from Dave Goerend shop. Top notch guys to work with. Great video!!!

[@samsonitemike3127]

Dude! That second pass you smoked that mustang right off the line!! I could here him thinking, "it's a fucking truck!!!"

Alignment! toe out slightly, and make sure you have a good amount of caster angle. Your trac bar is a definite possibility but a little toe out should help no matter what is causing it

[@keatonrink8446]

OH MAN i know that feeling! not getting there that fast but death wobble at 110mph made me change my under wear!

[@failranch9542]

Caster. Add a bunch of positive caster. It'll be fine. Likely nothing is worn out or broken. The aftermarket always says it's this part or that part and want you to spend a bunch of $$ buying band aides. Look at an old dragster and notice how much positive caster they run - the front wheels look like they are going to flop over when they are turned tight in the pits. That's why. Harder to steer but super stable.

[@cephurs]

Congrats on an amazing FF500 win- wire to wire?!!!?! hell yeah, Diesel! have fun in that chopper

This truck takes me back to when I was a kid. It reminds me of the Fall Guys truck that has a TV series

Those traction bars are going to make the axle wrap forward. You might want to look into a anti wrap bar instead it has a pivot point in front. I got the box sides with the tires on my lifted truck with traction bars on

[@rockkhound943]

Axle wrap is either up or down . His bars will work just fine . I have 3 trucks with similar placed an style bars . Work great an I have lots of go pro footage to prove it . I also race on dirt an pavement.

So do I hence why I said something.

[@1975427bronco]

I watched it at the track very impressive expessilly for its first time out

[@BleedingWhiteKnuckles]

That death wobble looked more like tank slap but in a square body!

[@FadeToBlackRacing]

Damn, I rebuilt front ends multiple times for death wobble, ended up being an upper control arm bushing was smoked. Was one of the rebuildable xflex type ones. Good luck and hope this thing is fixed in a jiffy!

[@chevota1500]

I would suggest doing long arms on the front suspension as well as the track bar. I have a 2nd gen on 40s with no death wobble.

[@stevetrojano1595]

I like that Bradenton lets you run sub 11.5 no cage. My duramax was asked to leave multiple tracks for 11.20s and escorted from English town after a 10.5

[@hangfire6368]

I have a Jeep TJ on 35's and experienced a death wobble at around 65. I sucked up the seat cushion. It was a loose control arm bolt. I went through everything and it is good now. I can't imagine a death wobble at 120mph. Holy hell! I was sweating watching that.

[@HennyTRX3773]

Give the truck to him as a suprise gift as he built /fixed it

IM SO HAPPY YOU WON!!!!! CONGRATS!! but dont forget to pay your $8,000 towing invoice.

[@deegan727]

This is usually when everyone starts talking about stabilizers. They only mask and compensate for the real problem. Often it’s worn or loose components but JH commented it’s been checked numerous times. Id say look into checking and changing caster.

tank slap on a gsxr1000 is pretty wild had birthed me some little cosby kidsthat day

Your going to have to put an adjustable heavy duty track bar. I put one on my second gen and it made a big difference. Ive never had death wobble since.

[@kevind5508]

Guessing your at the limits of caster and those short arms in the front. Traction and power created the perfect storm for what could have been horrible. Nice work keeping it out of the wall

Who else watched the rear sliding glass doing the death wobble at the same pace as justin lol. Ive fought death wobble in my jeeps before but obv not at that speed. Glad u held onto it.

[@witcher71]

LMAO! DW for the win!! You need to add some caster into the front axle to help fend off death wobble.

[@scottvaughan473]

[@jesselowhorn]

Need to look into control arm drop brackets or a “long arm” setup to get those control arms a little less of a angle it’ll help the ride and ton

I was in my 84 f150, not super fast by modern standards, but I had it wound out to about 130mph and the rear end started to sway , hit the sand at my local track, got lucky that time lol, turns out 3 of the leafs snapped on each side. rebuilding soon, glad everything turned out ok for you guys!

[@Burrrrrrrr25]

Get a 98-99 hd front end kit. It’s a T style steering way beefier and pretty easy on the wallet. And maxspeedingrods makes one hell of an adjustable track bar with 4th gen mount conversion for about $250. It will be the smoothest driving second gen front end you’ve ever felt. That factory y style that is on the truck let’s the fronts toe in and out over bumps.

[@timschaar95]

Third gen track bar conversion and a steering box brace. Also I noticed the front control arms are pretty steep. Might not be a bad idea to put a set of long arms on it.
