i have not been able too get the truck too hook on any type of load dyno.....whether it be constant load or variable.....the mud tires WILL NOT hook with the load....even on the street I have trouble with the tires hooking in 5th on a 2wd WOT run.

Well I suggest if you are serious about dyno numbers, get a set of street tires on stock rims and give it a run. That dyno should be able to hold down a decent tire with the way its strapped and the cut on the roller.

Sled pulling I understand but for the dyno and street/strip, Toyo Proxy's are the ultimate 1/4 mile tire that's street legal...

I agree....but the truck tops out at like 120 @4100 rpms with the largest toyo proxes s/t available. Plus I still tow my 17,000# 5th wheel every 2nd weekend. And there ain't no proxes that will handle that kinda load.

How did the dyno number look realistic? The trucks actually get to have a decent load on it during the pull? I just fired up the girl tonight, first time in about a month. I might have a truck again. It feels pretty strong.
