Default Impressive pull!

Maybe it's been posted before. If so I apologize. I don't normally look for these kind of things. Just happened to come across it. I'm assuming the E-locker is helping out a lot!

Must be the lift kit and larger tires that are causing the Dodge issues.

pulling like that is all about traction, the dodges bigger tires are probably mud tires that won't grip pavement very well.

It makes me glad that I bought my truck with 40 miles on it. I wouldn't wish something like this on my truck

I'm sure it does. Still I'm surprised. The weight of that diesel engine over the front tires of that Dodge along with what I assume is a heavier truck, I would not have thought this would be the outcome.

Still kind of impressive.

You can see on the last pull the rear right tire of the ford stop spinning then resumed traction. Traction control kicked in and did it's job. Who ever has the best traction wins. Great video it's impressive a gasser beating a larger and heavier diesel.
