Quick Dyno Question

I've tried searching with no luck. I may be putting my truck on the dyno tomorrow if the shop allowes me to and I was wondering what gear ya'll reccomend I should run in? I've got an 05 with a NV5600 6-speed and 4.10's. I'll also be running the Bully Dog PMT on crazy larry.
Thanks Ed

generaly trucks get run in direct , 5th gear in your case. this cuts down on hp loss by not having to turn more gears etc in the trans etc.. .

if you had a large turbo , then it is some times run in 6th to load it harder in an effort to build more boost..

What type of dyno are you running on? A dyno-jet then you would run in 6th, a load dyno then 5th.

Thanks for the help. I went there this morning and he told me he didn't want to put all that weight on his dyno. So I might try another Dyno on Friday. I guess depening on what kind of dyno i'll be running either 5th or 6th.
Thanks Ed
