im getting alot of peer pressure to pull my truck. my neighbor has a duramax that dynoed at 635 horse n 1114 ft lbs n he pulls it. he is on my case bad tryin to get me to hook up at our fair. it'd be the 95 in my sig. its got a nv4500 with an upgraded input shaft n a south bend dual disc clutch with a 3250 plate load. i think its prolly strong enough but im still a bit apprehensive.... whats u guys opinion?

 

i would say that the 3250 would hold...that is if you are only pulling once...

when is your pull?

 

i was in your same shoes a coupe years ago i never hooked up though becausue i couldnt justafy replacing clutches on my my daily driver so often

 

pull would be the first week of september. i doubt im gonna do it

 

i'm with u on that, i'm affraid of braking something on my daily driver so maybe i'll wait till i have another truck to do it. but sure would like to get out there!

 

yeah if i can find a 6 speed for the 96 im gonna build that. gonna leave it dented n rusted for the sleeper effect

 

that clutch will b fine just go show him whats up

 

While the clutch will be fine, if your neighbor has 600+ HP that duramax will be a long ways ahead of your 12v. You aren't gonna be able to prove much to him with your mods.

If its your DD then I would prolly sit it out til you can afford to break it, or build another toy. Too easy to break an axle, or u-joint, or the t-case.

 

x2 your 241 dld will not last very long, ask me how I know

Are you talking about hooking at the buck?

 

no not at the buck, just our local fair. n i'm not going to pull. i know there's no way my truck will ever be what his is so thats not the issue. but like i said, if i ever find a good tranny for my 96 i'll build that n pull it. until then i'll just stay in the pits n watch the little 6 cylinders stomp the v8's.
thanks for the input guys
