manual trans vs auto trans

[jammert609@yahoo.com]

I was wanting to see witch truck is the stronger truck in a tuga war my ranger vs my s10.. my s10 is manual an a four bangr my ranger is a auto an a v6 booth rear wheel drive.. I was going to have a tugga war to see witch ones stronger i am beting its my ranger but my friends say the s10 will tare my ranger up. I am a chevy an a ford guy thats why i have both makes. i think were going to have a contest to see who can tare the back bumper off first note the rangers is in one piece an not bent my s10s is bent witch truck do yall think would honestly win the tuga war..

rednecks... that said, the ranger should win. the s10 will prolly just burn clutch (great smell btw ). i think that you shouldnt do it though.

haha keep posting, everytime i read your posts i just smile

Several things are going to factor into this tug-of-war....

1. What kind of surface with it happen on? Dirt, blacktop, concrete?
2. Which truck actually weighs more, the Ranger or the "other one"?
3. Tire condition, coupled with #1.

Bottom line is........why? I'm thinking that tearing the back bumper off will be minor compared to the possible damage that's going to happen elsewhere on both trucks.

The auto trans is going to probably puke something, or just toast the bands really bad. The tires may well give up, if they spin long enough on the surface, depending on their condition. The manual trans is going to lose a clutch, or gall the surface so bad it won't work properly. U-joint failure comes to mind....hopefully the front one if it happens to either truck. If the rear one fails, the driveshaft will beat the crap out of the bottom of the truck it occurs on....anything within reach will probably end up damaged in some way. Wheel-lugs might die.

Then there's the possibility of the tow-rope (or chain) breaking or just coming loose.....could possibly end up coming through the back glass.

Other than the above.......well........

Party on, dude!!

(But I wouldn't do it, either......)

Try it! Its the only way to know for sure. We can speculate all day, in the end no one will ever know the outcome until you do it.

Post pics of the damage...

I bet you'll sit there spinning your tires without breaking anything.

Yeah, if both trucks are empty.....

I'm thinking this needs to go on YouTube, though.

Hitch to hitch proves nothing. I was on a 50hp 5500lb Massey Harris 44 and I got drug backwards by a 35hp 4500lb John Deere B. Take them to the field to actually do something productive and that B wouldn't show the 44 a thing... at all. Take them to a pulling track with a sled... same deal. Ooo boy, he beat me at a worthless contest.

If you want to prove something, get a sled involved.

Words of wisdom. Do NOT do this on gravel. Don't ask how I know.

jammert, i must give you props for doing what no one else would do, but sometimes your a warning sign instead of a role model

 

[Colin]

this is probably the the stupidest idea i've ever heard



but if you want to go and break stuff go right ahead, they're your trucks

thanks guys for stopping me from doing stupid shit. dont care to fuk up neather truck..guess ill go mudding with ranger an use other for daily driver...yall probley saved me from spending a shit load of money to put a new clutch in my s10 appreciate it...ill have to say anything i have two strong all stock trucks.

 

[Snoranger]

ill have to say anything i have two strong all stock trucks.

Why? Do you have 2 other trucks we dont know about?

the ranger would win for sure. the s10 would get pulled back immediately and hopefully whoever was driving just holds in the clutch and gets pulled back. Ive seen a good haldful of tug-o-wars in my parts and no one has broken anything yet. And im talking 2500hd's and cummins, not 2.3l s10's and v6 rangers.

but to be safe... dont do it.
