Do any of u guys/gals sled pull with your daily driven truck!
I want to have so fun and don't have the money to invest in two trucks so i was thinkin of competing with my daily driver/worktruck what do u guys think.

:thankyou2:
 
I think almost everybody around here drives their pullers. BigDog has a full ladder rack and side boxes on his.

Nope, I sure don't.


But you can have a ton of fun pulling, no matter what class you are in. Be careful though, you may end up owning two trucks before you know it.

I agree two trucks, a trailer and a ton of parts haha. maybe a couple engines. it gets addicting quick! Set up a streetable truck and run it. The street classes are very competitive in my eyes because everyone is changing parts and ideas very quickly. Make do with what fits the budget, thats how it has to work.
 
I pull mine and its a DD. But its getting to the point where I need to quit making it bigger or get another DD.
 
If you're going to stick with the stock turbo, injectors, and single CP3, you should be fine. Above 500 HP there's a bit more risk involved, and over 600 rwhp it gets pretty dicey with stock parts.
 
I pull triple duty with mine when I can. Drag, Pull, DD. It's an 03' also.
 
what would be a good tranny for somethin like I want?
or should i just get a tranny rebuild kit
i was thinking something like 650 rwhp down the road
 
650 on fuel, or with nitrous? Since you want to pull, I'm going to assume #2 only here.

650 on fuel will take dual fuelers and an aftermarket turbo. It will also require a stout tranny with essentially a heavy rebuild....I run an ATS Stage 2 and pull competitively and it's been great.

The problem for you is that if you want 650 to be a reliable 650, you're going to need to be in the motor for a set of rods, at a minimum.

Also understand, 650 is enough to start snapping driveline parts (like axles). If you truly want to drive to pulls with very little risk, you should be shooting for a smaller class where 500-500 rwhp will get the job done. At 650 or more, you're into trailer category IMHO.

Running pulling tires on the road isn't a great idea either. I'd throw a set in the bed and change 'em at the track. I did that for one season until I got a tow rig.
