[VAC] Re: Trucks as pullers



I thought the truck show was by invitation only, and the invitation was sent to my wife!  Sort of like inviting me to a needlework workshop, :-).
 
Anyway, when I got there (using her invitation) I found that anyone could come in.  They just used the invitation ploy to keep the crowds down.  Having an invitation did get you a free lunch, though.
 
I realize that 5500#  isn't much of a load for a 350/3500 truck to pull, but it was better than nothing, and was the same for all three trucks.  A fairly good chance to compare acceleration and shift points while pulling.
 
This was my first chance to see the Duramax diesel, and I was favorably impressed.
