Worst part about using a GM as a pulling truck.....IFS. Don't get me wrong, I love GM's and my Duramax, and the IFS is great for a street truck, but it's shit for a pulling truck.
Cort Meinhardt says morons that only have had a dodge anyone in the real world knows the best selling,most dependable and longest lasting proven time and time again FORD
Steven the dodges you see are not Dodge they are Cummins Motor with a junk transmission and if the front and rear ends stay together are Danas so no Dodge can not build a decent truck but with all the aftermarket parts and a junk shell can pull good.
JohnKS Libertyforall so the point is that the cummins motor is the key. it can handle a lot of abuse. Anyone transplant a cummins motor in another truck?
Nothing. All of the big 3 truck manufacturers have their strengths and weaknesses. It really just depends on the area. In my neck of the woods it's mostly GM. Yes, the 5.9 Cummins is a great engine, but they're also super cheap to get a hold of and relatively easy to get parts for so that's one reason you see a lot of them.
I got my 1997 f250 with the 5.8l in it that's modified she pulls hard even with 279,000 miles shes still going strong and with my dana 60 axles she will pull just about anything
It's the inducer size of the turbo in inches. The inducer is where the air goes into the compressor housing of the turbo, by limiting the size of this intake, you limit the amount of air the engine can get. This restriction in the intake limits the available air for the engine and limits power, creating a competitive class, in theory. NASCAR does something similar on larger tracks with "Restrictor Plates" to limit horsepower on larger tracks and to even out how much power each team makes, as well as rally cars to meet certain class requirements.

I hope that guy that's moving his had knows doin that isn't going to make him go farther
Why is it that it appears that all the trucks are pulling to about the same distance? is the sled weighted differently depending on class?
Yes
