Yup, he is using the air brakes to apply a load to the "dyno", impossible to get any kind of results with that. Complete waste.

must be parts from the scale that used to weigh the truck axle.actually,thats it! the truck scale flipped with his truck on it so nothing left to do but make a dyno out of it!
lol no,i have to agree,no matter what its using for measurement,without a fixed vehicle placement i dont see how it can come close to producing consistant result.

I've gotta respect this guy for being inventive but I think I'll just drive on over to a shop with a dyno and plunk down my $75 and put my car on the dyno and get a dependable printout and then drive home to my backyard without holes and concrete and semi tractor axles lying around. just my $.02
