Hmmm
if u can put ur power to the ground better than he can, ull win, if not, it will be the inverse, but i sincerely doubt he has the TQ that ur cummins has..
Just put some weight and some tractiony tires and ur good to go...

With 40 tires and 4.56 gears if he starts in 4wheel low I think he will make it 1/2 to 3/4 down the track and something will break 
Then you are going to hear all the bragging that his truck has so much power he can twist a driveshaft or axil. So all you can do is pull him and hope his truck doesn't break

If you want to test the "torque" your truck has look me up next spring I'll direct you towards the local truck pulls.
I am only 25 miles south of you in Columbus.

yeah I know. He still keeps insisting I don't have a chance. He says "well i've got a locker so i'll be getting power to all 4 for sure" that may be true, but he's still got a powerstroke and I know what they do with a TS chip, intake and exhaust and it's not going to do what my truck will do with what i've got. He'll have trouble laying down his power through those big tires and he just doesn't seem to get it. I mean I'm using common sense here, and some biased dude with a big truck won't look at the whole picture.....

If he has the tires and lift that you say then if you were to hook and tug-o-war his hitch heigth would unload your rear and he might take you.
But he doesn't have the torque that our mighty CUMMINS has.

tires
If 40s were so awesome at sled pulling id better get me some along with a 7.3 and some lockers then i can go through all the mud and think my trucks bad!!!
All BS aside, Bumper to Bumper id put my money on 40s, for one when he pulls he lifts your butt end up and you pull his down giving him more traction unless you have a goose neck and he hooks to his bumper then i think it would be close, on a track with a sled, It woud be a joke to watch him run, you would moke him like a pack of cools. as far as that other guy hes just backing his powerstroke buddies cause he thinks there isnt a better motor in the world.
