yeah i aint out to break anything its just been an idea floating around in my head, but loe and behold he broke his cv's this weeend (what else is new for chevys) ha. he claims the 6 speed has granny low? im not sure but i know his truck has a locker and i only have posi (prety reliable so far) but we will have to see when he fixes his rig.

on another note do the auto locking hubs seem to be problematic on the super dutys? when switching from 2 to 4 (just switch) my front wheels dnt spin, when i lock it in and flip it they work like a champ, and good aftermarket idea or any quick fixes out there?

i replaced mine with milemarkers better looks and stronger. Mine never seemed to work on the auto setting either, so im not sure.

Umm... what gearing does the 8.1 have? those things are pretty mean. Be careful, and I hope you don;t break man!! Good Luck!

Check your seals on the auto hubs. and if you guys pull at least get a vid

the truck has a manual 6 speed? if its auto then its got the 5 speed allison, chevy used the zf 6 speeds behind the early duramaxs so it might have a zf with a granny low if its a manual. only thing the gas has is if you both get traction, he doesnt have to wait for boost, alot of underpowered gas engines win because they get under power quicker.

I pulled agains my buddies 8.1 gasser about a month ago and drug him for about 60 ft. before he finally gave up...you'll probably kick his ***, just hope you don't break anything...pulling like that is a good way to screw something up quick...\
P.S. that was before all the mods in my sig, that pull was done stock...i also pulled my buddies 2500 Dmax, and my other friends f-250 and killed both of them...all stock too...with the new mods they wouldn't have a chance in hell

I feel that you have a huge advantage just for the simple fact that your opponent has to shift and that moment what ever advantage if any transfers too you, also the closer that your hitches are to the same height make a difference. lower your tire pressure at lease 25 pounds for added traction ( bigger foot print on the road ) might want to practice a little with some of your friends before it is for real good luck

Pull offs are pointless. All they prove is willingness to break crap

I will second this statment.

POINTLESS

Just make sure you guys do this on gravel. You will be less likly to break anything.

or dirt so you dont ding up your tailgate...but yeah it more about traction and weight versus power. My S250 bobcat could pull two f250 easily and it's only got a 60 hp motor. it has more traction and weight. I L8000 grapple truck stuck a couple months back and hooked both my F-550 and my F-350 and couldn't budge it. Dont know why i didnt try this before but when I hooked up the bobcat it came right out with no problems...
