Joe as long as you dont romp on it youll be fine I almost pulled mine but didnt for the saem reason. After watching John pull its not bad if you dont get in it to hard. I think im going to pull this summer. Sure i wont win but who cares.

lol, you havnt seen how bad my truck twists the rear axle.... i can raise the rear bumper about 10-12 inches just by mashing the throttle from a standstill with no load on the truck. the vibration in the cab will rattle the trim screws loose to the point that they fall out if i dont check them frequently.

Not this truck...but one of the old ones(its still a 7.3)...a little too much for that trailer...but she got new tires during the trip.
I always forget the camera when I am working...heaviest I have pulled with the OBS is a 38ft bumper pull camper

So thats why my trim screws keep coming loose...lol. I cant even do a burnout, it just hops. Id like to put some of those redneck ladder bars on mine someday. Only way I can do anything close to a burnout is tach it up and dump the clutch in third gear from about a 20mph rolling start on a wet road.
I havent got the nerve to hook mine to a sled yet. Its my only form of daily transportation, and the wife would kill me if I tore it up pullin a sled.

That was my question. So low 3rd would be the best pullin' gears?

actually it depends on the sled and the track. when i pulled at goodells it would have been best to pull in lo 3rd, but when i pulled at the armada fair later in the year i was pullin against the big trucks (like john klein's dodge, and joe servo's ford w/ cummins and the chevy dirty hooker,) lo 2nd was the best gear to pull in. but my truck has 3.55 gears so if i had 4.10's i probably would use high 1st or low 3rd and never use low 2nd. another factor is if the track is sticky you wanna be in a lower gear while if it is dry it seems to work better to get your tires spinning faster in a higher gear.
