Tell him you'll each hook on to 10,000 lbs and pull the nearest hill.

traction depends on several things, like weight, which depends on hitch height (make sure your hitch is higher than his) etc. there are many factors.

I have seen lesser trucks own better trucks simply because the driver in the better truck was a terrible driver. (kinda like me yanking back a tuned 08 duramax...twice)

im taller, heaver, and have more power! lol and good kill on the 08!!!!

I would say you got him. Video!

Find me one forum where that doesnt' happen.

Several of the 55 posts are you complaining because OBS guys were in a 6.4 thread... how dare us. I didnt know you were a mod now?

And I didnt know you were a mod now too see ya in the fight thread.

How do you pull then? Do you think everyone on this site is gunna agree on everything? its preference, different people do it different ways. He asked, we each gave him our answer, so whats the problem?

NOW this thread is really derailed over pointless complaining. Im done here, anything else to say post it in the fight club thread.

From now on every thread should have 1 reply, from the most knowledgeable person here with the 1 and only correct answer.

Its up to him to decide which works best for his truck, track conditions, and his personal likings. What i dont' get is how complaining about differing opinions is going to help him. You are the one that really derailed the thread. I'm done here as well. If you have anything more to say to me about this, the fight club thread is the place to take it, that is what that thread is for.

If anyone has other ideas for pulling, i wouldn't be afraid to let the OP know, being thats what he asked for.

Are you obsessed with pahrump or something? his truck is amazingly sweet, but you bring up his full pulls every post. weird.

Im going to bed. sorry that we irritated you. Hopefully nothing serious happens if you got that upset over this.

Originally Posted by GM Duraturd

Way to be a grown up. That way others wondering the same thing cant see your opinion. Kinda defeats the purpose of a forum

I will admit he is my hero too

Originally Posted by GM Duraturd

Cause you 2 got your panties in a bunch because 2 7.3 owners gave their opinion to the OP's question.

Your complaining about the thread being off topic only made it derailed twice as bad.

Im done, going to work. Sorry for the inconvenience of having several opinions in a thread asking a question.

After careful revision you are right GM dura you 7.3 guys stayed on track the whole time only answering the OP questions

Here is another video, not nearly as good, hopped like crazy, i was running street pressure in my tires, which i think is why it hopped so bad, like a full basket ball. lol.

Here is another dude pullin 275 tune street pressure in the front tires, hopped like crazy too. He was runnin 4lo 3rd gear
Picture083.flv video by dzchey21 - Photobucket

The only thing i can see an advatage to 4low is locking the converter in 3rd gear. might help put all of the available power down, but in theory the gear ratio is probably close to the same either way
I bet the dude that started the thread hates us...

I PMed him last night and apologized to him. He was cool about it and seemed to have similar thoughts about the whole ordeal. I also PMed GM Duraturd and settled our differences. I think wuboring got the info he needed from you D

We answered the question, that was my point. I never said that it didnt get off track, it clearly did. Half of the quotes in that were responses to a 6.4 member

Can we just let this go? 08stroker250 pmed me and it was appreciated, that cleared things up. No need to continue going back and forth about it.
