the local pulls are this thursday and im wanting to compete bad. the thing is i dont know if i should risk it... i will have to have the truck the sat after to bring the trailer home from that fair

i think i would be competing in tsomething like the 8000lb stock class.

my question to all of you that have pulled before do you think i could pull it off? i was thinking i might be allright since im close to stock but what do ya'll think?

also would i have proablems or be more prone to breakage since my toyo"s are fairly new? also what would i launch in 3rd low? 4th low? and how

i have never pulled a truck before but have always wanted to since i was a little kid so all advice on the subject is appreciated.

 

You don't have the clutch to go in 4th low.

 

if you have the money to buy a new clutch, go for it. It might last one pull but prob. not. If you don't have the money for a clutch, or want to mess with it, turn it down and have some fun.

 

You should go for it just be smart about it since it's your first pull and don't try and shift during the pull let the truck do the work. Just remember it's a Dodge and if you take care of it the truck will make you proud,mine has never let me down. Good luck and make sure there is video.

 

i forgot to update my sig. i have a sbc dd 6 button clutch with the 3600lb pressure plate and the hydro upgrade.

 

You will be fine. Pull third low, and come out of the hole no higher than 2000rmps, but try and hold it steady there as you are coming out of the hole. I pulled with about that same set up all last summer and had no probs. good luck!

 

You'll be fine I had 6 hooks on my stock clutch and still held fine buddies hook theres once or twice a year with stock clutch. I agree with 07dodge no higher than 2000 rpms and get out of the clutch as soon as you feel the tires grab and ur good as gold might not win but you'll have fun I guarantee that.

 

I was able to pull 4th gear low with 35's and a DD clutch and smarty last year. I say give it hell put it in 4th rev it to 3000rpm and let the clutch out slowly until the tires start spiningthen let it out completly. Brandon he's got the same deal that dustin had at the beggining of the summer and he's always pulled 4thgear low

 

i thnk im gonna go for it. so how should i do it high or low 4 wheel? what gear? and just keep it at 2000 rpm or go to say 3000? and also is there anything i should check or change prior to doing this? and anybody who has pulled the same setup what would you recomend i set the smarty at?

it will all be videotaped

 

Go with 4th low and you will be fine. Not sure of turbo but make sure you have it around 3000 or more when starting get a little boosted coming up and then let out. The faster you are off the clutch the more power and speed you are going to have.

 

If your on a stock clutch and go 4th low 3000rpm I'm guessing you will go about 40ft with enough clutch smoke to smoke out the audience expecially with a 35inch mud tire. I'm still saying 3rd low.

 

With your DD clutch and smarty you should have no problum going in 4th low.
My last pull I went in 4th low and before I left the starting line I was at 3400 RPM and 40 pounds of boost. When I let the clutch out all the way I went down to 3000 RPM for a few seconds. Also my tires are 37's

Smarty on 7 TST on 2/2 is where I set my programers.

 

Oh i c you do have a dual disc yeah 4th low and 3000Rpms maybe even a little higher.

 

Same here.

Local fair pulls are Tuesday. I'd like to try. Think I can handle 4th low too?

I have no idea what I'm doing so 3k rpm, get it moving, dump the clutch and hang on?

 

make sure you have traction bars and if not dont think about blocking the rear or your springs will wrap easier, i found this out the hard way when i pulled my 02 few years ago.
