Yea she used to live in a nursing home in Columbus ohio. she decided that she wasn't going to put any effort to live in this nursing home. She won't do anything. So she is moving to Dallas in a nursing home closer to my aunt. So she got moved down there last weekend. I will be leaving on Friday at 5AM to start my trek down there with my truck and a uhaul.

Good luck from one red truck to another have a safe trip

 

[Bigtman07]

Thanks!!! Trying to be totally prepared. lol.

On a side note. Got a little mud on the tires last night.

 

[Trupiano]

^^Haha that's an understatement! :********:

 

[Bigtman07]

lol Yea. Wasn't trying to get muddy either. Went to the truck pulls at the fairgrounds and the only parking spaces that were available were in the back field. Figured meh wth park with all the 4x4 and cool trucks. So I parked int he field. There was a 2002 4x4 ram next to me that was trying to park and he had it pegged trying to park. lolz I just popped it in 4 wheel pulled into the field kicked a donut and then pulled into my space feathering the throttle. he kept moving back and forth working into a spot. lol it was comical. Leaving though is what got the truck all muddy. I kicked it sideways and hit the mud road that was about a foot deep and had to work through it. lol Still a great night. Actually got to see a pulling sled break under preasure.

 

[Trupiano]

I've never been to one of those. But they sound like a blast! All that power!!! Muhahaha :********:

 

[Bigtman07]

oh yea each truck and tractor are pushing over 1k ftlb tq. and explosions. lol

 

[Trupiano]

Haha I always wanted to take my truck to work, and hook it up to a C-130 and see if I could pull it lol. Prolly disintegrate my tranny or gears, but it would be fun! ****... C-130's only rated at... like 95,000 lbs!

 

[Bigtman07]

Tractor pulls are the best. I love watching them and get nervous for my buddys when they pull their trucks. Buddy last year ripped both front and rear drive shafts out of his lifted CTD when I told him not to pull. He thought stock drive shafts lifted 9 inches with big injectors, big turbo, built tranny on 40 inch tires would work pulling 60k. I spent the entire week before it trying to talk him out of it due to we lower the Dmax to pull.... he never understood till he wheel hopped and SSNAAAPPP.

 

[Trupiano]

I'll have to check out that video tomorrow. How much weight do they pull? R there classes?

 

[Bigtman07]

Yea there are lots of classes. For tractors you have farm stock, super farm stock, modified farm and super modified farm I think. For trucks they have of coarse the different weights. No idea how much they pull. But man it is exciting to watch. Espescially the modified diesel. Man talk about rollin the coal.

Guess what it is. lol

Street diesel class pulls 60k and a full pull for them is 300lbs. The 01 2500 CTD that has cam, heads, injectors and p pump is running allllot of power the his wheels. We have no idea what he is actualy putting down anymore, before the p pump it was in the neightborhood of 500hp 1200 trq. The Dmax on a 150 hit is doing good but needs tires to dig more.

 

[Bigtman07]

Yea traction and tq are key in those pulls. I'll see if I can dig up some of the street truck pulls.

Here are some of the truck pulls from last year. Street truck and 3.0 diesel.
