got snatched by megacab

well me and my buddy decided to see what would happen between my 97 excab long bed 4x4 with 300hp 725tq and his 06 3500 single rearwheel 4x4 megacab he has the bullydog with crazy larry in it but he put it on stock setting and i think it still gives it 50-70 hp and 100-140 tq any way he pulled me no problem well he spun a little but he has to have me by a 1000 pounds and my micky thompson claws don't hook good on pavment my truck is 7000 lbs. dose anyone know how much a stock megacab 3500 4x4 wieghs. I was pretty sure he was going to get me we just wanted to know. i should have tried high range.

That seems a little light, maybe not. My 05 quad cab 2500 short bed with me at 175 pounds and a toolbox in the back with maybe 50 pounds of tools weighed in at 7860 at all the local pulls. My brothers 01 extended cab short bed 2500 weighed in at 6700 pounds. So yeah I would say that you are at least outweighed my 1000 pounds if not more.

Something tells me this is an older more experienced guy pulling a younger less experienced guy around, of course I'd never do anything like that.....

Welcome to DTR to the both of you!!
