Re: sled pullin

You have an auto tranny? I'm assuming yes because of the tranny temp gauge.

If it's an auto, you can just leave it in (D) and put it on the floor.
Alternatively, I start in 1st and hand shift it up to second when first winds out. I feel this is the best at my power level because the truck would fall on its face if it decided to hit (D), at my power level.

Re: sled pullin

It works if you throw the switch, I would say you might have the power to run 2nd depending on how the sled is setup.

Re: sled pullin

b4 i got my injectors i was pullin 1st gear and lockin the converter. with ur setup u will prolly be disgusted with ur truck if u try pullin in drive. if u get on a really loose or even a muddy track u might be able to pull 2nd gear. get those injectors! then itll pull 2nd gear with the converter locked [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]
