Here's video of the two pulls. Don't know why I didn't take video of the CUCV, it did pretty good.

I have done the tug-o-war the last two years at Michigan Truckfest -- TRUCKWARZ HOME PAGE. It is A lot of fun. I always said I would never tug my truck, now I cant wait for every event. I even lost to a old school monster truck called "uncle slam"

That was a blast yesterday, great to see everyone who made it out. They had actually had scales that Gimp's and my trucks would fit on. The 818 came in a 19400, and the wrecker came in around 33000 lbs. That weight difference made became obvious when trying to pull him.

Yeah, my front axle isn't engaging, I was a little worried about traction. I guess the weight difference(a deuce worth) makes for lots of traction. Stretch and I went through and made sure the valves on the trans were working and then we checked the plunger on the T-case, I guess its something internal. Time to do some searching on how to troubleshoot it further.

Brian, it was good to meet you! Certainly post up and let us know whats happening. At least we can show up to offer support if they don't have anything in our weight class.
