Ive done four truck pulls

and lost only one to a third gen dually, Its all about traction, I usually use Third gear and low (with a good clutch), wait for the other person to break at least one tire then just pull em on back.... I havent pulled again since the loss but this worked on a 7.3 diesel, a 6.0, diesel, and (dont ask) a 6.0 chevy gasser the easiest...

tow haul will only lock your truck up in 3rd gear...

are you talking tugowars or sled pulling?
