I agree with Cypher on this. Scott, you would be better off to travel some and put your truck on one of the reputable, dyno's at shops with diesel experience, or one of the travelling versions such as Dunbar's.

Most likely the sensor that the VW shop did not have was the rpm sensor that needs to be added to the vehicle to be able to calculate hp from the torque readings.

When things are working right, and little to no tuning is being done.. I don't see why a dyno shouldn't be able to process 3 to 4 trucks an hour, with three pulls per truck.

Scott.. just bring it to Terre Haute at the end of the month... there will be two dyno's there to choose from. Dunbar will be there and Scheid's are bringing thiers out from the Effingham location as well.

Plus, you would get to enjoy diesel truck and tractor pulls, and drag races if you stay for Sunday!!!

my local dyno shop charges $65 for 3 pulls on the dyno and you can tune in between if you choose to.
