First sled pull this season

[red1977]

Well my first sled pull this season is tomorrow. Think I got the truck set up good, let me know what you think.

Dropping the tbars all the way down.
Spring clamps on front and back of leaf springs.
1,000 lbs of weight to add to the truck.
285/75/16 on pyro half tread good year wrangler mts.
Going to run 30 psi in the front tires and 50 psi in the back tires.
Air bags are going to have 90 psi in them that will put my hitch right at 26 inchs.
Going to crank the pressure up on my lift pump to try to help me hold rail pressure.

Question is with my built trans do I want to run tow/haul mode or leave it in regular mode and use my lock up switch?

 

[JD Dave]

Always use tow/haul. Good luck.

depending on the track conditions i'd go down a hair on the pressures...

Nice work. Get any videos by chance? Alot of guys seem to do well with similar set ups to u.

You can see in the video I held the brakes to long trying to build up heat. Not the best video I was surprised she took it cause of how bad it was raining.

I bet that was an interesting pull in the mud, how did everyone do overrall? Kinda hard to tell by the vid but were you easing into it the first 50' feet and rolling into it?

Ya I eased into holding brakes trying to get the turbo to light then hammer down but I held the brakes to long. It was interesting in the mud lots of trucks had a hard time. the top 5 were up towards 300 ft plus.

Wow. I sure was wet. Lol nice for those conditions.

 

[red1977]

We got a inch of rain while we were pulling lol.

 

[arneson]

I cant believe they pulled in those conditions. Pretty crazy. About the only time a mud terrain woulda paid off to have.

 

[red1977]

Oh it did pay off to have them.

 

[arneson]

Yeah i bet. It looked muddy as hell.
