Bottom line:

Proud gear and a ripped intercooler boot makes for bad pull...

Dang Satburn, why didn't you tell us about the pull? I sure would have been there.

 

Sorry, I thought most everyone knew. It was at a county fair and I've just been hitting the close ones in case of carnage so the wife doesn't have to push it very far.

 

jeez, what gear were you in? lol didnt sound like you got her tached up to me

lol nice smoke!

 

Lets just say I bit off clearly more than I can chew. I launched @ around 2800 rpm and with my new tires it didn't slip much. By the time i realized it was a no go, it was past 75 ft. A 4GSK would probably have helped me out of the hole, but I had 3 gear choices to choose from, this was the first time using the taller of the 3, so at least I've narrowed down what gear is working best for the truck in its current setup.
