Well I finally got the wife talked into it and im not sure where to go from here. What gear, do I need to do a boosted launch, etc? I know you guys have the know-how im just lookin for a little help.

 

Do a search in this forum for "sled pull" and you'll come up with a bunch of good threads on how its done. Here is one:

Thanks PD I dont stray too far from the 3rd gen hp discussions. I think that will help.

 

YOu have some big meaty tires... If you break dont be suprised.

 

I wont complain if I do but what in particular would be my weak link?

 

I've been pulling now with 35" BFG Muds, and haven't had a problem. I run the 33" ones on the street. I've been getting more distance with the 35" tires. I do have 4.10's though, I'm assuming you have 3.73's?

Anything is possible when pulling, but I wouldn't worry about your setup. Possibly a yoke could snap with running tires in the 35" range, which is pretty minor (Unless you don't have halos and the driveshaft goes wild underneath before stopping).

 

Im in the shop today and have time do you think a guy would to build a driveshaft hoop/halo just to keep the thing contained incase I were to break? I do have new u/joints(5-6000 miles on them) in both driveshafts. I guess I didnt realize that would be an issue. That is what your talking about right?

 

Ok bad news I cant pull now I thought it was friday and now I find out saturday so I cant go. Anything else goin on fridan night in sw missouri or springfield, mo? Drag race? Anything I can have a shot at tearin up the truck.

 

Pull in St. Peters, Mo. tonight at 7pm.

Jim

 

they only take the frist 20 or 25 trucks so get there early

 

yep missed it. If I can get a list of all the area pulls Im sure I can make one of them.
