Man I just don't think I could risk getting pulled by one of MY friends, they are the type that would take you to the store and show everyone in town before unhooking the two trucks, Sorry that defense mode kicked in a little back there but I never cheat at anything...Its just more of a practical joke between me and whom ever is on the other end of the strap than a competition to me. Quess I have never took it serious, Its priceless to see the look on their face when they get pulled (windsheild to windsheild) you can't beat it.
Actually, it isn't. Sure the other driver should know better than to get his tires spinning, but the brake holder also should know this isn't providing a truly fair and accurate competition. Just like some of the videos on youtube. You see Silverado's holding their brakes, not even trying to accellerate until the F150 starts spinning, then they release their brake and go. Sure some may feel using a brake is fair, but I've seen too many people that use this tactic complain about it when it's used on them. So in all fairness, and to see what each truck can truly do, don't use the brake.
True a tug-o-war isn't the best comparison and I've seen similar situations as you describe (hummer/psd), but this is usually chalked up to the better driver and the losing driver being either less experienced or too over confident. Plus the stock tires vs 37" tires, may depend on which truck can hook up better and gain the traction.
I guess thats true. Yeah if you look on youtube long enough you could find enough videos of one truck pulling another to state a case any way you want it.
Once I pulled my Dads samy out of a mudd hole and I just couldn't resist dragging him all the way back to the litle parking area to show everyone what i caught.

All you do in impromptu tug-o-war's and drag races is either break stuff, get tickets or hurt feelings...I'm not saying I haven't ever done one of these just putting it into perspective.
No I have not seen him since then, He is corporate and only pops in on our site every so often. It will happen just don't know when....If I keep working all these long hours(6:30-8:30 7days a week), I may have to put a little more under the hood of this powerstroke.haha but I promise to post no matter what the result's are.

man i think he's got a chance with some good driving. if it's an 08 dmax, he's got a DPF which sucks in a race cause it could clog before 2nd gear lol.
but just to be sure, i personally would be putting some DIY injector kits on a credit card. ad the previous poster's gogo juice and he doesnt stand a chance.
Edit: sorry to mislead DIY doesnt sell for the 6.0 so maybe a full injector set

The way to win this battle is to pull something heavy. Hook up to a 10,000 to 15,000 pound trailer and have him do the same. You will win. This summer pulling our 5th wheel, we out pulled both Dodge and Chevy with the same size load going up long grades. We are completely stock.

Well it's final we will never race. His duramax is in the shop for the third time,same problem and the dealer is going to trade it in on a different one(he knows him well) seems they can't fix his problem? I didn't get to talk to him much/ I didn't have to say anything about ford/chevy.....I know it must sting enuf without me putting salt on an open wound.
