hold the brakes a few secs after the go sign to get the other truck time to start to spin and then it doesent take much effort to pull the other truck backwards. But you really want to have a nice soft set of tires that will wrinkle up a bit and get traction. A hard compound tire will not hook and cause the lack of traction. Hi hook point like a gooseneck and weight in the front end. With a 6 speed low4 and 2nd gear around 1400-1600 rpms good starting point. Let the CUMMINS lug abit. make all the tourqe it can with the power turned back a bit. GOOD LUCK

This all stuff you learned when jeff snatched your *** on 14?

He has got it dead on... Except the brake part... I feel that is cheating. But thats just me most people do it

It didn't look like his tires were spinning- yours were. You lost traction. That's all.
