Puller Newbie Question - Rules ? for local event.
 
So they have some stock 4x4 pulls @ Yankee Lake Truck Night. I want to give it a shot since its only 10$ per hook. The rules state "6800 lb (max) gasoline street stock 4 X 4 truck & 8500 lb (max) diesel street stock 4 X 4 truck". So is that GVWR?? Since i have the 8800# GVWR rating does that mean i cant run... OR are they saying the truck can only WEIGH 8500# at weigh in??

The link for the event is here... Truck Night at Yankee Lake: Schedule under July 16th... If your local you should attend!

Thanks everyone!

is your truck and auto or a stick?

DieselWeasel 05-17-2010 09:15 PM

Automatic

a stock auto? might not be a good idea to hook to a sled

powerdbycummins 05-18-2010 07:11 AM

you should come hook. i go to trucknite all the time its a good time there. if you cant hook to the sled they got the tug o wars goin on to. come check it out

Yes its a stock trans... That's why I wanted to do a run for fun.

I'm assuming if I were to run then I shouldn't turn my Adrenaline up very high? To save the trans.

What really needs done t the trans to make it strong? Is it a ton of $$?

94 12valve 05-18-2010 09:09 AM

if you have a hd t case it will be fine.

If you hook run in 4 low, you prob is gonna be that your gonna be on the TC the whole pull.

DieselWeasel 05-18-2010 11:55 AM

What do u mean about the TC?

94 12valve 05-18-2010 01:00 PM

it will be very hard on a stock TC

DieselWeasel 05-18-2010 02:39 PM

Oh... Yeah, but they are like 1,500$ that's insane! Does anyone sell a rebuild kit?

94 12valve 05-18-2010 09:42 PM

I don't think so

u cant rebuild a torque converter with out the proper high high dollar tools. if u do pull, id keep the adren on a lower setting. i tore my stock TC out of my truck with just a set of rv275 inectors with no programmer.

If you are worried about how much things cost don't pull. I used to pull stock class Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 automatic. I just threw it in 4 low and put it in drive and lugged along. It's hard on everything on the truck.
