Wheel spin...

GatorBaitR6 · Aug 20, 2012

While pulling a sled this weekend I found out that I'm not getting any wheel spin while pulling... My tire speed is equivalent to the truck moving... Still reving around 3k-3.5k... First run was in 2nd 4 high and Second pull was in 3rd in 4 low... Stock 5R tranny with a bts converter... Any ideas...?

If wheels speed is down then you are simply getting traction. You could try a lower gear but power is going to be your limiting factor. Lower gear may also result in a lower track mph which you do not want.

I'm running stock tires and gears... So I would think that even with thr sled I should still be able to get some wheel speed up especially on a slick track

Try 1st on the high side then.

You never actually said what the speed is either... if you're running too slow of a speed it will just have traction and run it down.

You're not even getting any wheel spin as it slows down when the sled weight comes up?

Nope this wasn't a transfer sled it was a gay ass drop sled... And I don't remember the speed it wasn't too high I was watching rpms and boost... And I got
No wheel spin at all

Trans learned?

Sent from my x2 somewhere

Doubt it... the map I was using had way way way less time to relearn then the other ones did...

So back to this... Set my livewire ts up for watching the gear selection and in drive while pulling it won't shift from 1st anyone had any issues with the initial post...? Still trying to workin things out... I think I'm gettin shafted some feet by not being able to get second or third to spin

you boosting off the line?

GatorBaitR6 · Oct 25, 2012

Boosted and non boosted

So if you run it in drive you get better wheel speed?

what the rev limiter set to??????

look in the adjustables in your sct.

you should be turning close to 4k.

Rev is set at like 4100 as I set it... Programming shifts er before then though... If I go in drive I have wheel spin but never leave first gear if I leave it in a gear (2nd or 3rd) I get no wheel spin... Though about maybe tryin to jump it out in first get er goin then up shift and downshift later... But it all doesn't really matter anymore bc this weekend is the last pull for us lol

sounds like your trying to pull in to high a gear. puting it in drive allows the pcm to decide. you selecting a manual gear,will only allow the gear you select.(whether its the right,or wrong gear)

too high a gear with out enough motor.
