8 speed locking into second gear?

[xrsman]

Does anyone know how to lock the 8 speed Into second gear? I want to pull my truck in a truck pull but I know that 4 wheel Low in 1st is too short a gear to get any speed!

should be able to just use the +/- buttons. it'll still start in 1st tho. good luck tho, 4 low sucks with the 8 speed and 3.92

Yeah that's what I want to avoid! Shifting would be way to hard on the tranny! 4 low in first was at 10 km/h was around 4000 rpm!

Umm I think any type of truck pull will be hard on a tranny

Why in the hell do you want to do this?

+1, why do this to your almost brand new truck?

I want to see what it can do! Haha

In 4 low locked in a gear it isn't too bad. First on my truck is way to short of a gear though, i wouldn't be able to get the speed up that I'd need. 4 high would be very hard on the tranny so that's out of the question!

People buying a truck, especially one with engine mods expect that they've been played with. One pull down the track isn't going to hurt the truck, and in all seriousness if these trucks can't handle one pull down a dirt track without hurting or breaking something than we're buying the wrong trucks!

Truck pull like your life depends on it. Hook your truck up and let the engineering do what it is supposed to do. Do you have siiiiiick tires for traction? If not, manipulating your truck, IMO, is just a waste of time. Run it how it is set up, let your truck handle its business, then come back here and share your story on a new thread.

Just the stocks now, I've ordered duratracs but they're on national backorder! I'll be pulling the truck next may! Family of mine own all the truck pull sleds in Ontario and in may there's a big test and tune event where people bring in their tractors and trucks to tune them up for the pull season! I figured that would be a good time to test the truck out!

Just put in 4 low and mash it and see what happens. Do it while your still under warrantee. LOL
