I may have told Trent 360ft in the excitment but actually pulled 341ft. As for the duals they decided to allow it so factory dual wheel trucks do not have to pull a tire.
I will try to get the video of it bouncing all the way down the track loaded.

We need video!!!! Sound like you might need to try a little more tire pressure in the duals for the next pull. Your truck is my trucks idol:D

Thanks for the tire explanation. Makes perfect sense...like "stock appearing charger"....;)

Your truck pulls very very well. Looked like you were out for a normal drive in the country.

Here is Matt Larson's first 4th gear attempt. His truck has come a long ways in a short time pulling and this track was very hard to grab 4th gear with all the moisture in it.

Thanks Matt for posting the vid!:hug: Now I can watch it 300 times this week and analize it. Looks like i grabbed the hero gear a little too quick and waited to long to downshift. It looks like she needs a more fuel at lower RPMs as well. Cant wait til next week, sled pulling down the street from my house:happy2:

To this untrained eye, it looks like you waited a bit too long to go full throttle, Matt. Got the sled started very smoothly, though.

Looks like different gear ratio's might have helped the regular cab too! It will come to you just remember practice makes perfect.:rofl:
