Hey all hows eveeryone doin? So I was wondering something the other day and I want to know what you guys think. I have a 1997 F-150 Super Cab 4x4 with a 4.6L V8 and my girlfriends brother has a 1995 Chevy Silverado its an Ext. Cab Z71 package 4x4 with a 350 V8. Just wondering if I should challenge him to a pull-off and I want to know what you guys think will I get embarrassed or will I embarrass him what you guys think???

 

it all depends on the tires and driver. Whoever spins first lost. Both trucks have enough power to pull the other truck that is spinning the tires.

 

what size/kind of tires do you and that guy have?

 

Blah not sure what tires he runs but I know they are wider then mine are IO run 265/r16 all terrain tires and I think he is running 285/r16 not sure what brand but they are just all season tires.

 

as a former z71 owner i can say that they have a super low range not sure of the gear ratio but my 93 would pull like no tomorow i have recovered 2 hummers that were high centered and other trucks not saying that the f150,s not strong but i think stock vs stock the z would win

 

Yeah not saying I will do it though it was just a thought. That stuff I can imagine is very hard on parts I wouldn't say the diffs and tranny like that stuff lol.

 

well I pulled a lifted dodge with 35's, then I tried pulling an f350 4 door dually 6 speed with a huge chip... yeah that didnt go over well.

 

but if you do try let us know because if you do pull him it would be a huge slap in the face to the chevy guy,s

 

We would have a few cawcktails and do this all the time when I first got my truck in 98. Haven't did it in awhile , but I was the one that couldn't be beat.

4WD Low Lock with a little gas would win everytime..

Course the E4OD, 9.75 rear gear and 5.4L might have had something to do with it.

 

the fords can pull pretty well. i got stuck a few winters back in my dakota 4x4 with the plow.slid into a snowbank. here comes 2000 f150 xl 4.2 2WD TO PULL MY A$$ OUT. dakotas arent big trucks but add 500# plow and sand bags in the back so...thats what converted me to buy ford next time around.

 

Crap!! Freakin brother informed me I did get beat , but I don't remember how .. I don't remember a thing.

I prolly had it in neutral

Yea Keith, these things will pull - Betty Joe(that's was her name , not kidding) put the school bus in the ditch a few winters ago - Gotter out before the wrecker came.

I got lectured for pulling her out and she got in trouble at the bus garage for letting me pull them out with the kids on the bus .

I guess I had it comin - I wanted to try it with everyone aboard, I apoligized, hehe, I can still remember the applause I got tho

They all got over it eventually..

 

lol jbrews the school hero haha

 

School bus full of popsicle kiddies
Or pull them out
You da man JBREW
I bet it was fun to pull out too. Ha ha Ha

I say do the pull off and let us know how you do! Pu a couple of sacks of concrete in the bed over the axle to get those tires to stick.

 

Oh come on , you all would do the same for them , well , if yuh could


Yah , it was fun - couldn't wipe the smirk of my face - even when I was getting bi^tched @

 

Yea, what were they afraid of? Were you going to tear the bus in half? Pull it into oncoming traffic?
Sell it on the black market?

Jeez, what happened to "thank you for saving us and you the tax payer money, how can we compensate you?"
I know here is a bowl of ****s to eat

Im sure thats how that conversation went. And I am sure you would do it again.
