Those Duramax's aint so Tuff

Yesterday at the pulls, I had to pull against two very stout Duramax's. When I saw them all I could think was OH **** I'm gonna get my you know what handed to me. Thre was also a powerstroke there that made 900ft lbs at the rear wheels. But when the dust settled 5ft seperated 1st place and 4th place which I got. All of us had the sled moving 17mph, so i was pretty happy with my little cummins. she pulled like a champ. Sadley the 1st puller in 8500 SS diesel broke the sled so i didnt get a shot at the 6.0 thats been beating me all year.

those dmaxs are hard to beat with dual cp3s and a big charger but you were close to beating him. get a tst or edge drag box and a big charger and you will be more competitive

How'd the weight rack and traction bars hold up?

Good job running right up there. Just a little more (isn't it always that way) and you'll have'em.

The weight bracket and traction bars held up great, considering that was the roughest track I've pulled on in a while. I'll post the vids in the morning.

Don't they have to have there truck teched to make sure they're legal for the class there in, we do with the sled I pull with. It's not so much about cheating as it is also a safety issue. Everyone knows you cant hide everything.

It's always the sore losers that claim the other guys running nos!!
I have yet to catch wind of any Duramax' running nos and getting banned.. But if you say so..... I know you are most likely talking about the Crank It Up Diesel trucks, and I know all the guys, and not one of them run nos.......

Luke, I like the title of this tread! To bad they were just a little to tuff, even though they weren't very tuff.
