I am going to do my first sled pull tomarrow night and was wondering how many of you have pulled, and if anyone has any good advice for a first timer?
I will be in the stock class, under 8000 lbs. I am excited to try it but I don't know what to expect.

Air up those firestones to 100psi.
Lower the pressure in the front tires to around 35psi.
Get your hitch height up as high as you can.

Cool, but not my thing....

Dont have enough money to build a competetive truck....

I think the biggest thing to watch out for is hoping. When you hop you risk breaking something, if it does that let out of it. Spool 4-5psi(more or less for how sticky the track is) and slowly let out of the brake(ride it a little) while you slowly get into the skinny pedal. Youll love it!

Dump a bottle of cetane boost into the tank and make sure to have the boxes set to where you make the most horsepower.

let us all know how it went!

I would like to have a puller, but have to depend on my truck to much to have it down on mondays. We have a little fun with a dragster that we play with on the weekends, so that usually gets me by.

IT WAS AWSOME!! That was the most fun I've had in a long time. I took 2nd place in the stock/street class with a pull of 261 feet. I used everyones advice so thankyou. Air bags full, cetane boost, 2nd gear, tow-haul, 4wd low. I also have to depend on my truck for work everyday so I didn't want to run to hard. I got a little nervous because the guy right before me in an 06 mega cab said goodbye to his head gasket and came to a stop in a cloud of white smoke. I am sure I will be pulling again next season, and maybe I will have to get another truck to use only for pulling someday. I think may have done better with some more agressive tires also. Over all I would recomend trying it. I have a video, but no idea how to post it yet. It sounds pretty good with the 5" stacks and strait pipe, best sounding truck in the stock/street class IMHO.
