To everyone hating on Chevy/dodge, you don't understand the ratio of gm/Mopar to Ford at these events, so many more so naturally more will break. I also want to add that at the power levels these trucks are running it really has less to do with the actual manufacturer and more to do with the owner. When you're running 3x the factory power through a factory drivetrain then something's gonna break regaurdless of who makes it.
Also the Chevy tie rods breaking is totally due to wheel hop, it's not a bad ifs setup, it's strong, but wheel hop will break all kinds of shit unless it's a solid axle. Most all of these pull trucks are converted to solid front axles. Tie rods break when you don't. So again not GM's fault.
Last four pulls I’ve attended were won by ‘79 era Fords in every class they could compete in. I prefer them over Dodge or GM, but it does get kind of old seeing the same body style every pull.
I love watching all these goofballs with their daily drivers and I can do that attitude. Next day their shelling out a grand or more to put it back together!
I've seen fords break alot worse. One guy drove a few hrs away from New Jersey blew out the rear, transfer case, transmission and drive shaft. Dont think I saw him there again at other pulls
IMP Leno Because people know Ford's usually won't even make it to the place without breaking down so those guys don't even bother. As for the 1, every dog has his day. 😂😂
skrr yuhh the chevys just sat there most women f time or just gave up and engine just failed like like normal the Ford actually made it the farthest and there was only like 2 the rest were mostly chevys
Anyone else notice the ratio between Ford vs Chevy/dodge? So far I've only seen 1 ford.... I'm a ford fan, But we all know Broken parts happen to everyone.
Kody Tuggle the reason why is because they don't have the after market parts offer too the others two (coast/available/ amount of aftermarket parts). so the can't compete in this event. ya you can get some bad ass ford's, but you don't see them putting down 2000hp to the ground. (granted they don't last at that hp just like a drag racer) just like you see so many dodge cummins, every body and they're dog makes aftermarket parts for them and it's cheaper to build 6 cylinders vs 8 cylinders.
Is it a case of shoddy parts or that these people are pushing their trucks well beyond what they are capable of? Sure you can upgrade the engine, but if your transmission or drive-train is not built to pull such heavy loads.....something is going to give.
I don't care if you support Ford, Chevy, or Dodge. These stock trucks that run suspension, They aren't built for these stressful pulls. I'm glad this video shows every truck and not just one. Because you're gonna get those people that say typical Chevy, dodge,ect.. You can't put these trucks that have a "mad tune" that makes daddy's truck roll coal. It doesn't work like that. simple as that
I love seeing these “street legal trucks” breaking apart when they do these pulls. Most of them think they are tough shit because they have a big diesel truck that puts out a lot of smoke, yet don’t have a clue how to pull. 🤣🤣
Pulling in 4wd is always a really stupid idea. Also, if it starts hopping STOP because the transient loads start to get orders of magnitude greater than normal... but what do I know, I'm only an engineer
And this is what you get for trying to do this with your stock truck, right out of your driveway. "Hello, insurance company? Let me explain something first."
So true. Look the amount of HP and torque the trucks put out from the factory, pretty impressive. Add a few bolt-ons and you more power than most people would ever need.
Dennis Vasquez Its part of the fun. Make noise, break your stuff, fix it, and repeat. Im not a fan of this stuff but its understandable. Loud, big, and power.
It’s not just limited to trucks, I like breaking all types of shit for amusement...then I grab a case of Budweiser and put it all back together just to fuck it up again. That my comment friends is the true meaning of freedom.
Most guys dont know when to stop. Seen plenty of guys break when I pulled cause they never stopped and wanted to show off. But there to alot of these guys dont have the right things on there trucks. A few clamps to hold the leaf springs clamped together and traction bars would help out alot along withh bump stops if allowed.
So , correct me if I'm wrong . This sport isn't how far you can pull the sled , but how far you get before you tell the wife we need a Taxi to get home
They do that because the tie rods are very thin from the factory. About the size of your pinky. Very easy fix time rod sleeves. Installed them on my truck and still to this day I never bent a tie rod
One thing I notice across a lot of these videos is that the Chevrolets tend to have a weaker front end with regards to the suspension than the other trucks.
Never understand why people do this to their trucks, they are meant for pulling, yes but not like this. Notice how it doesn't matter whether its new or old lol always breaks
Same, if it's a hobby truck purchased and used exclusively for this sport with money you can afford to lose, no problems. We get to see a pull and a destroyed vehicle at your expense. To use your daily driver, or work vehicle...foolish.
My 1964 c20 with a straight six could easily do that with the granny gear on the sm420 Muncie. It'd be a slow journey, but god that thing has a lot of torque
2:20 Four door truck with a toolbox. You know that was a daily driver for a man in his 40s who decided on a whim, to relive his glory days. Looks like Sarah is calling her sister to take her and the children home, while dad gets drunk at the local watering hole.
