WE GOT MUD RACES THIS WEEKEND CAN'T WAIT

last year i brought home almost 500$ was the only diesel there they said id be too heavy and sink i guess they weren't countin on the power a diesel can make lol......

well since then that truck has been wrecked and my new one is a five speed vs the auto in the old one... my ? is what gear should i start off in? 3rd low or somethin like 1-2 hi? last year i just put in 4 high and mashed the pedal but this year i got a little more to think about lol... thnx for ne help

 

I usually start in second in 4wd hi in my diesel. then just keep grabbin gears tell the end of the track and hold on.

 

I always find getting to 4 out of 6 is just about right. I can sling a pretty nice roster tail wheels spin right about 45-50 mph almost on the redline.

 

4th low should work

 

Wheel speed is king. So get as much as possible Colby; or is it Kolby?

 

Keep up posted on the results!

 

Take video!!!!!

 

im a dumbass it turns out it was last weekend. not very happy

 

Shifting gears with a manual while in a mud hole is not good if it's deep and sticky... your asking for trouble... Giving the FORD owner and chance to pull you out... When you go to shift... all wheel speed and momentum will be instantly be lost...leaving you stranded in the middle...and then you try to grab the next higher gear... and the engine will bogg if it don't have a massive amount of power to get the wheels going again which puts an extreme load on the drivetrain... clutch burning and u-joint popping material... unless all those parts are beefed up also. You need to pick one gear... keep the pedal down... and don't stop. As another said... wheel speed and momentum is key!!!
