Off Season Sled Pulling Mods
- Thread starter Rhall
- Start date
Up in the air on that now....One thing I know is I want to have it setup to pull the national events, TS, SDX, etc. but will also set it to pull Mid atlantic. Not much in my backyard to pull, so I'll have to travel to pull. I was going to send you a message to see who you pull with, and what the rules are, so I could travel up that way throughout the season.
He said it went to Jersey so I'm assuming so. I always liked the look of that truck.
What gears are you going with assuming your running 4.56 now? Yes, Thats Ed's ol truck.
Kind of wondering why your doing that? Doesn't seem like a very big difference.
i'm hoping its enough of a difference? i dont know if its going to be noticeable i could go to 4:10's but when i go south to the real power tracks i dont know if the truck will like it. i'm hoping the 4:56 is better on the loose tracks around home and they're still low enough of a gear to work on the tacky tracks south?
there isn't much worth while going on up here i kinda jump around i go to pa and surrounding pulls as much as i can! rob santini is in jersey you might wanna look him up if you dont know him he goes to quite a few pulls around your area
i couldn't tell you off hand just know he's a bean farmer has a green crew cab dually dmax puller with a hoodstack
I'll have to keep my eyes out for that truck. Don't know of many dedicated pullers around here
Id have to 3rd that. I miss pulling a lot, but then i realize i get home earlier and have more money.
Okay both of those are lies, I just find new ways to waste time and money. I guess the pulling disease transfers to any hobby.
For me it was more about working on them. Mine has sat parked for over 2 years and all my time is filled up making money on other peoples trucks. Worked out well in the end.
The best part of pulling is the adrenaline rush of making it there and the friends you pickup along the way.
Ill get back into it someday though. Plan on pulling the old KW in some street semi pulls when the day comes haha.
My puller sits as a frame and body in the old shop still. If anybody is interested in it to use for building a puller before they go and strip their truck down let me know.
My other truck still looks the same as it did in april when i drove it out of jim's shop. Been a busy summer. Might have to return to you though jim as it got a boo boo being parked all summer.

Hate to see it go, but I dont blame you for a second. I will say that life is stress free in the retired pullers club
Yeah I don't miss it yet but it's also not summer.
I can't say I'm never getting back in it but just not now. My kids are too important and the classes need to settle in.
Good luck Kevin. I hope the truck works out for you. Just don't put that damn turbo in the valley.
I really liked my 4.56 gears. Hooked better and had way more ground speed. I had to use a unlock switch sometimes do to being a 2.5 charger.
Rich I know of a complete zf6 and triple disk south bend clutch is for sale up here in Ontario if you are interested.

Is it considered off season if you have not made a season? I'll stay out of this one....four years in so far....

idk if thats a good idea now after getting the gear calculator to finally work on my computer...its only a 2mph difference at 4K
Is that a inline 6 duramax? Tell me its not a cummins.Is it considered off season if you have not made a season? I'll stay out of this one....four years in so far....
Thats why i went with 4.56 gears. 4.88's weren't a big enough difference.
