Got 1st at my pull today!

Went into the 7500lb farm truck class and pulled 292.6 and took first. Everything went real good for my truck but at the very end of my pull i hit 1400 on the pyro but other than that it was around 1200 1250. my trans temp went up to 185 and oil at 216. It was really fun. I put it on youtube. here is the link to the video, my unkle took it with a camera so it was off a little at the end.YouTube - 01 F350 1st place truck pull

Congrat! That looks like a blast! Glad everything stayed in one piece.

How'd you setup the truck: gear, hi/lo, tune?

I just put it in 4lo trans in drive dp tuner on 80T and after i got the sled moving just put her down and watched my gauges. It was a blast! not something i would always want to put my truck through very often but my whole fam and friends had a great time watching the 7.3 beat up those duramaxes and cummins.

Did they require a kill switch? If so, how did you rig one up?

Nope no kill switch, we just had to have a clevis for the sled to hook up. The only thing i would have done different is ease into it more at the start cause i had some wheel spin. The only other truck that came close to me was a 00 f350 and he was running a hypertec chip and he was about 10ft back.
