first time hook!

[sootman73]

hooked my truck up to the sled sat night at the local truck pulls. just wanted to see what it would do. did alright with 169 feet. beat an '06 Cummins and a first gen with light mods! bad shifting and some bouncing at the end of the run shut me down earlier. should have started in first but didn't. started in second and when rpm's were too high for wheel speed i locked the TC and it came down to 1200! slammed it into 1st and rpms came back up. oh well first time not bad and nothing broken! heres a vid. let me know if it doesn't work. kinda crappy cuz its at night.

sorry ill have to get my friend to put it up on youtube

Right on, I'm going to be doing one in the next couple weeks, I cant wait . I'll probably go 3rd gear 4 low, maybe 2nd gear 4 low. I'll try to get one of my buddies to come with a better camera than mine, so it can take a vid longer than 15seconds

Im going to be doing the same in a month or so, one thing to remember one bounce-ok, second bounce-watch third-your gonna start breaking stuff

 

[Optikalillushun]

I'd love to try this!

ya i thought i could hold it in second with 4LO but nope! had to drop to 1st. sounds pretty bad on the video. i gotta find some more events close by. i think ill have to go into michigan.

idk how many times it bounced but i saw enough trucks try to drive through it and break so i shut 'er down!

sure wish there where some pulls round here

 

[zigzkidz]

the thing that sucks about the one pulling clubs rules say that if i put a turbo on i have to run with the Pro Street Diesels they have over 700hp and i would probaly be beaten easily but hey you never know

I have tried 3rd gear/4 low on dryer tracks to get wheel speed....really works the clutch tho

Thats good to know, guess I'll be running in 2nd gear 4 low

Also if you want to change gear while your pulling and you have a manual, DONT it wont work, sometimes ir you dont have the right gear and your dont make 100 feet you can try again but thats for around hear i dont know about were you are

 

[tractorman86]

maybe i'll start my own truck pull events i sure wish there was a way to do it and not have to spend so much damn money

 

[4x4TruckinGirl]

I'll come out there and we can have our own sled pulls.... hahaha

 

[tractorman86]

yea, i've got some old semis lets just jerk those around. so what do they build the sleds out of? i've always wondered...
