My dad swears that his Dodge v-10 daully would out pull me. I'd love to try it but I'm not sure I could make up the difference with only having srw.

 

Hold your brake until he spins, then start pulling.

EDITED.. New explanation below.

 

Using that line of logic, top fuel dragsters would run better ETs if they used bicycle tires on the rear since that would provide more pressure per tire. It depends whether you're going to pull on pavement (where more rubber = more traction) or on grass or dirt (where the higher unit loading of a narrower tire, or fewer tires, might provide some advantage).

on pavement, i really dont think that the dually will spin. i cant even bark my tires on the pavement. but of course ive never been hooked to anything thats been trying to go the other way. but on the grass...... i dont know. anybodys game i would think

 

The pull would be on blacktop

 

is urs a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton srw? on blacktop i do belive that ur dad would out pull you. but the only way to know is to try it? ill stand corrected if you win....

 

RustyJC, here is a better explanation:

If you're both in 2wd the single wheel truck will get more traction on pavement due to its higher pounds per square inch of weight pushing down on the pavement...
With a dually the load is more evenly placed and has less weight on each contact patch of rubber on the ground that will allow them to spin more easily...

 

TQ for TQ


No he cannot pull you, mass and traction.. he has a chance.. is say go ahead and dump some weights in the rear to make up for the tires, then pull him... But bobcat is right, you have more contact area with ur single rear wheel than he does with his duals, specially if you are running larger tires.. regardless i still say ud pull him.... get a video if u try it!!

ive got a buddy with the same set up as mine and he can get out and smoke the tires compleatly off of his truck from a stand still with out powerbraking on a 3/4 ton. Now if id try that on my truck id smoke the clutch compleatly out of it or shell out every u joint on the truck. and not even bark the tires.

 

ADD WEIGHT TO YOUR TRUCK!

 

In 2wd he is gonna pull you. In 4wd you are gonna pull him. Dodges are so light on the back that anything will pull them in 2wd. I have about 8 hooks on pavement with my 2005. I pulled aganist a 03 6.0 Stoker 3 times twice in 4wd drive and I drug him and once in 2wd and he dryug me. then 3 times to a 97 stroker all 3 timmes in 4wd I drug him, My brothers 01 once and I drug him. Also in my 2004 automatic I hooked up to a similar situation. 1 ton dually to my 3/4 ton Dodge the dually was a 96 Chevy with the 6.6 diesel and in 4wd I drug him but in 2wd he drug me. So I say you win by a long shot in 4wd.

i second kman

 

I pulled a Duramax backwards in 2WD

well maybe a dmax is even lighter than a cummins in the back but I know my truck is about 700 pounds lighter than any powerstroke I know and that is with a tool box and about 150 pounds worth of tools.
