Competition Drag racing pulling a trailer...

[DaveMorris]

I might be doing a grudge match at the local drag strip pulling a trailer with about 6K on it. My jeep club was asked to be the entertainment during the down times (between heats) and we where kicking around the ideas of starting out with a match against a couple of the tow rigs yanking the jeep behind it.



Here is my question, other than an ETG, and a EZ box, my truck is stock. I know the 48re is not going to like this run, but am I looking at possibably breaking anything??? My truck should have lots of traction, so there will be some major stress put on the drivetrain. With just the box, is there a possibility of snapping the input / output shaft???



truck specs:

2004 quad 2500 SWB, 48re, 305/555, edge EZ.



The competition is (might just pull the same trailer and just run times to make it equal):

Ford 7. 3 w/bully dog box

Ford 7. 3 w/propane

Duramax dually LLY (stock)

Ram w/Edge EZ





Thanks in advance

I would not think a 6k trailer is much of a challenge for your truck. I would not slam it off the line but after that your only worry would be EGT's IMHO.

Boost launch it at about 5psi... you won't break it.
