Pulling power
 

Well this weekend i put the H2 to the test.A buddy with a 2oo2 Gmc deisel dually wanted to have a pulloff.Back to back we pretty nmuch stayed in 1 spot,front to front i draged him about 2 feet.That was on hard dirt.On pavement i dragged him like he wasnt even there.

Re: Pulling power
 

That surprises me. Were you in 4-Low with lockers on?

Re: Pulling power
 

Very COOL :cool: :cool: :beerchug:

Re: Pulling power
 

Surprises me too. Were his rear tires bald?

Re: Pulling power
 

Hardly a legitimate test of "pulling power". :rolleyes:

Re: Pulling power
 

Yeah but it sounds real good :giggling:

Re: Pulling power
 

Was the first time ive gone out without my camera so no pics.I was in 4 lo loc with diff loc on, his tires were good ,And in the dirt it may not be a pull power test but on pavement i beleive it is ,now that i did it once maybe ill do it again when i have my cam,

Re: Pulling power
 

LOL. Waddya gonna do next? Arm wrestle? :D

Re: Pulling power
 

hmm dont think so he to freakin big for that.But pulling is fun.yall should try it

Re: Pulling power
 

Sound like a good idea. I'll head over to Wal*Mart and do some practice runs with parked cars.

Re: Pulling power
 

was his dually four wheel drive?

Re: Pulling power
 

Sweet I'll see if I can get one of my contractors to re-enact this battle. I would say the weight, gearing, and tires would have more to do with it than engine power.

Re: Pulling power
 

Yeah, he was probably holding back...now when you have your camera out, he'll toast your a**.. :)

Re: Pulling power
 

This can't be good for suspension components:shhh:

Re: Pulling power
 

LMAO! I seriously hope you didn't screw up your Hummer.:jump:

Re: Pulling power
 

Now, that would suprise Me! :giggling: ...So, without Video!...:twak:...of the tug, and rig set-up! :twak: ...This thread is useless....Here's Your Sign!......:D


I Sure Like My 2.....But, REALLY KNOW!..What My Trucks Would Do! ;) :D

Re: Pulling power
 

doesn't suprise me at all really.... the dually doesn't have a whole lot of weight on the rear tires at all where the H2 is fairly evenly loaded front to rear. Now put a few thousand pounds in the bed of the chevy or dodge or ford and see how far it will pull the H2....

Best to keep a close eye on your t-case when doing this... you know the shifter fork is completely plastic on an H2 t-case???? the chains also stretch....

Re: Pulling power
 

LOL! Like I Said! :jump: :OWNED:

Pallet Of Concrete in each!..... Let's PLAY! Know My Trucks! :giggling: DooooYou! :crying: :dancingbanana: :D Painers are good! :rant: ;)

Re: Pulling power
 

Did someone say plastic?

Re: Pulling power
 

It Was $ wheel drive ,just found out today he took out his front diff in the process

Re: Pulling power
 

Isnt that what were all about

Re: Pulling power
 

there was no holding out he tore out his front diff he was trying his best, H2 ROCKS

Re: Pulling power
 

Well so far so good ,a new weekend comong up and im sure well try it again

Re: Pulling power
 

Yah but through some weight in the h2 and you have the same odds

Re: Pulling power
 

I dont think we were talking about weight capacity i think i was talking abouit Draggin a GMC dually down the road

Re: Pulling power
 

Re: Pulling power
 

Well i guess if i had a lil ugly parts trick i would but i dont ,OF course if you have a schwack of weight in the back your going to have an advantage,but if you noticed we had no weight in our trucks,so dont care if you have a palat of concrete in the back of yours.

Re: Pulling power
 

Agin if i a few thousand pounds in the back of mine it would be even again,and i would drag you once again.so lets keep on track

Re: Pulling power
 

OK, I've Had enough Fun! :D....lol

Re: Pulling power
 

AHHHH Victory again LOL:dancingbanana:

Re: Pulling power
 

To really get a good estimation of pulling power you need to put a trailer on both vehicles.... but I will tell you the Diesel trucks, be it a Chevy Duramax, Ford Powerstroke or a Dodge Cummins, will out pull an H2 and even an H1 (without the Dmax)... hook up the trailer to the vehicle and then floor it to 60 and who gets there first can pull more (the slower one is engine limited or gearing limited).... this is what testing the corporations due for competitors and its also whats done on the diesel page if any of you are on that....

Its all dynamics, the H2 hooked up to a pick-up doesn't really prove anything other then the pick-up is traction limited.... but the output of the engine power-wise is of course higher on the pick-up....

Lol---Not even on a good day Tonguester...I Mean Youngster! :twak: :D ROFL!

Re: Pulling power
 

Hey a poet cool.:violin:

Re: Pulling power
 

If He was setup like Dragons GMC 3/4 ton single axle with turbo deisel and the edge system on I do not think an H2 would out pull Him.
Dyno'd at 400HP and 800 or 900 ft. .lbs of torque.
We hook trailers and throw just about anything on including My H2 and it seems to not even strain on long up hill grades.
Turbo deisel only should be to tough on H2 with any amount of HP and torque.

I know what i got in My H2 with supercharger and all the low end add-ons You can do with out going to lower gears to get it off the line in a hurry chewing up and spitting out rice rockets and even My cousins new Vette which He just did not believe it could be done. It was a 0 to 60 run but, He was gaining if it had been to 100 He may have caught Me. But, main thing is I had the low end torque which is the most important number when it comes to pulling.

Has been an interesting thread though.

Agreed. Worthless without the video.
