Duramaxzak 2.6 pulling truck build

[Yellow Jacket]

It should be locking by itself, I should not have to manually lock it.

Anyone I've seen with a 2800+ stall has over 500 rpm slip difference WHILE SLED PULLING and has to be locked with a manual switch or box...

It's definitely not locking based on the videos.

Because I'm not a know it all and am still learning alot about having a competive 2.6 pulling truck!

I built about 99% of this truck myself and did this thread to help me learn and to help others learn.

I greatly appreciate everyone who has give me advice and help learning. This truck is really starting to come together!

This is totally random but any plans to stretch the truck anytime soon?

I am thinking about stretching it this winter to 158" wheelbase. This winter will focus on weight reduction, stand alone wire harness and probably a draw bar hitch set up. I found a ECLB frame I might purchase this week.

My truck currently has full interior and dash!

We are going to be selling our 2.6 truck this week. If we don't sell it complete it would make you a good ECLB roller!

If I stretch it, I will be keeping the regular cab and making a 10' box!

Def needs converter lock, you would have had a lot more wheel speed

Yeah, that last video you can really tell it is not locked!

Especially with a super loose convertor, coupling is poorer normally, so your wheel speed will greatly increase with lock up.
