    Get somebody to run video of your pull and upload it to YouTube so we can all watch it.

    Oh and drop the air pressure in your drive tires to 40 lbs for better bite. I use 4th gear overdrive to pull. You slip the clutch just a little and as you push the fuel down let out on the clutch at the same time then I hold rpms bout 1900 for the whole pull.

    A guy I worked with got fired from a KW dealer for doing that. He said he was going on vacation and trying to get one buttoned up before he left....rolled bearings, put the pan on and left the overhead for someone else to finish. Came back and truck was still there with the engine pulled....got called into the office before he clocked in and was given the news.

    There are rules for the big pulls. But we don't pay ant attention to them. No one complains until you start beating everyone then they start looking closer. I have shut off valves on my rear bags so the level valve won't deflate them.

    So does silicone! When the Celect Plus came out with it's larger accessory drive shaft and spun every bushing it saw, I was working for Cummins and we were doing these warranty repairs one after another. Guy I worked with finished one up, driver left and made it about 10 miles and the air compressor grenaded. Towed it back, same guy slams another compressor on it and 10 miles later same thing. Towed back again and I got the job to figure out what the issue was....didn't take long. He used a ton of the Cummins grey silicone on the front cover gasket and plugged the oil feed port. So a 5 hour job turned into a mess because of stupidity.
