Sled Pulling
I was on FTE this morning, go figure, and I had the TV tuned to Spike. I just happenned to look over when they were talking about sled pulling diesels. I know mech/Kevin does this type of thing so I watched the piece. Holy S#%t.
I could never do that to my truck. He must have a set of cajones or an expense account that I will never have. I mean those trucks were huffing, and doing a lot of breaking. Now they were mostly Cummins Dodges, go figure, but those 360s I believe they are were making some ponies. Matter of fact, I didn't see anything but Dodges. That sucks. Wish I could help you out financially Kevin. Good luck and put in a good show for us.

I gotta be honest here. I often wondered why anybody would pull a sled. They do have tractor pulls here. I guess I just had to see it. I couldn't do it with my truck, but it's quite a show. I'm looking forward to the video too. Something without a Dodge in it.

Hey Kevin, was just lookin in your gallery. Question, you don't drive the truck to those pulls do you? I mean, should something happen, surely you have that covered. Just wondering how extensive this hobby or operation of yours is.

I do drive it every day. If the pull is more than a couple hours away we tow it. Towed to Summitville IN last year the tow rig (D-Max) blew an intercooler boot on his last hook and I bent my hitch. We duct taped the intercooler boot to drive that truck back and I pulled the empty trailor back.

Yeah it's amazing how much pulling a sled works a truck over watch the cab to bed alignment sometime those frames are twisting up pretty good. I don't know the exact numbers but that sled puts a whole lotta down force on the back of the truck for sure.
I would like to see your truck in a vid too.
Just found out that they have a pull last year and are doing it this year at the county fair so I am planning on taking my F250 up and seeing how I do with it, but since it's only about a mile from my house even if I break I can always come home and grab the trailer and Expy to tow it home that far.

Are you going to the National DHRA events? I'm planning on going to the one on 07/29 at the Gasconade County Fairgrounds in Rosebud, MO. Of course, I will only be watching. But, if you're there, I'd be sure to stop by to say hi.
