(quoted from post at 13:37:17 05/04/15) It's cummins not Cummings a lot of people mistake it and always irritates me, tug of wars don't prove ,ugh shows who gets traction and who has weight, not power put a trailer behind them and see who has the power,
(quoted from post at 18:59:16 05/04/15) The Ford is just a heavier framed truck than the dodge, puts more weight on the wheels.
(quoted from post at 11:30:50 05/05/15) How do you know the ford owner don't have a lot of weight in the bed or in the cab or tucked up front were you can't see it, my new power
wagon with a 6.4 weighs 7960 pounds full of fuel I'd say that's a pretty heavy truck
(quoted from post at 11:31:38 05/15/15) Though the one where you hear someone say "that Cummins ain't got nothin on this duramax", then the duramax gets drug across the lot, over 2 curbs, and on around the lot, is pretty funny.
(quoted from post at 02:09:00 05/05/15) When Force Fails, use Finesse!
1- The way it looks to me, the strap between the 2 Dodges is not level. The lead Dodge's pull is tending to lift the front of the second one, basically eliminating his front wheel traction. Also by pulling down on his hitch, the lead Dodge is putting some lift on his own front axle, lessening traction there too.
2- Here is the Finesse part. The Ford driver held position & let the Dodges smoke their tires, then just walked them away. Smoke equals melted tire rubber, about as slippery as a wet bar of soap.
Back in the early days of truck pulls I watched a prime example. This was on dirt track. High powered, fat tired, auto trans Fords & Dodges went full throttle. Lots of noise & flying dirt, spun out about half way through.
Then came a farmer with bone stock, skinny tired, 6 cylinder, 4 speed manual trans, IHC, with years of dents & cow pxxp on the fenders. Didn't touch the gas until clutch all the way out, then opened it up to about half throttle. Walked the sled the whole lenght of the course, never spun a wheel.

personally , MY 2 cents is, when you do the two trucks and then have one pulling the other way, the truck pulling the other way being heavier(quoted from post at 09:16:51 05/24/15) I still haven't had anyone point out the fallacy in my statement, "Ford owns Cummings, Cummins builds engines".

tends to want to lift up the truck closest to it, and then that front dodge, is trying to pull 2 trucks
PLUS spinning wheels don't have traction
the tow dodge drivers would have been better off standing on there brakes and waiting for the ford to start to spin its wheels and then got on the throttle!
knowing how to pull makes a big difference , at times too!
