Truck Pulls

Gents,

 

I understand that this may be frowned upon by some or all guys in here, but I have grown up watching truck pulls all my life, and ever since I bought my 6.2 Max Tow ive been itching to take it out to see what it can pull at the truck pulls. I'm nevous that I will break something. I know that its really bad for the trucks, and I only intend on doing it once (i know thats all it takes to break) but I was looking for any friendly advice or opinions? Im not 100% sure yet that I want to do it, I just would enjoy doing so.

 

Any experiance here would be great!

if you enjoy tearing your truck up then go for it.. also with those tires you have on there you wont get ANY traction at all... not to mention at the stock height of your truck you wont be able to clear the optimal size tire youd need..

 

i dont think it would hurt anything to try it 1 time.. but please take a video if you do

Up here at the buck county Pulls in PA. I tried but it was a diesel only thing. I said we'll I'm boosted and awd. (03' whipple charged ss silverado) Why don't you let me show these guys what gas engines can really do!! Haha but I also have the 6.2 max tow and I swear I could pull a building down! I say go for it! I know most drop the front suspension as far as they can go and utilize 4wd adjust trying to get the weight transfer down. But for full potential I would even get a second tune for just pulling changing shift points and what not. Good luck!

Dave, it's a shame you pulled with the SS

Bucks County! Im in Berks :-) Haha. How'd you do with the SS? Im not going to go all crazy and lower the front end and do all of that. Im more so curious to see what it can do as is. I will however change wheels and tires, and be adding a 2.5" lift shortly. Changing shift points seems like an ideal thing, but I dont want to spend that much on it. If I go for the pull shall I pull 1st gear in 4High? or do I let it shift into 2nd in 4 high?

Haha bringing up a past thread to bring

Up some bad news. Just got a phone call from the kids dad that bought my truck. Said he totaled it. So sad. I guess another one bites the dust.

    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.     
    • Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
    • Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
    • Howdy! New to the forum of course! My name is Casey, just picked up a 2024 high country midnight edition. First “new” truck in 24 years for me. Driving a 1998 Z71 since 2002. Have been on the GMT400 forum with lots of good info and help there. Nervous about driving these newer trucks and all their electronics…. Did a lot of work on the Z71 myself over the years. New truck is definitely a nice upgrade after 24 years. Photo of the old and new, still keeping the Z71 - has 320,000 miles on her and still running well!
