4th low on a STOCK clutch with a box?!?! That's NUTS!

He would have a better chance of getting the clutch engaged while not slipping it very long and not destroying it in 2nd gear, but hi or low I don't know which would be better and still have a respectable distance.

sounds nuts, but I have seen it done many times. Now If you are runnin 35' tires maybe not. If you're going to pull in 2nd low you might as well stay at home

Agreed 2nd Low would not get you very far, but the man has a brand new '05 truck that I'm willing to bet he doesn't want to put a clutch in yet. Also, I think his question was just because he wanted to do it for fun. I was just trying recommend something that would save the clutch but still might get a respectable/fun distance.

I have pulled on a single disk, although aftermarket I destroyed it with ONE pull trying to do 3rd gear Low. I slipped it too long.

I had a buddy that had a 04 for about 3 months and on a track that was easy to launch on he said he thought he would have had no problem grabbing 2nd high. I am not saying I would do it but I have seen it done, just gotta dump the clutch

There is a pull at the fair every year. About 25 trucks show up, all gassers revin their engines, shootin flames, and getting huge cheers from the crowd even when they only pull half way. There is one red 2 gen gasser that always pulls the entire track. I've been watin for a diesel to show up and show them what a real turck can do.

my truck wouldn't pull jack, once i get my low on maybe i will push the sled down the track.LOL What I would like to see it a diesel pull it down the track with out even tryin. But wail pull blowin smoke all over the grandstands. The fair is the second biggest in the northeast behind the big E. So the turcks come from all over. All of their tow trucks are brand new 350 and 3500 diesels.
