Well, i just got my *** beat by a 3.5L V6 Izuzu Trooper with 115,000 miles on it. As you know my truck is a 1997 1500 4x4 with the 5.2L and 187,600 miles. We lined up said go and SHE beat me by a car length. I'm ashamed and pissed. WTF happened?

 

Weight

what year was the trooper? have you OD on? gears?

these trucks dont accelerate at all

 

Found your problem...

 

you should know all those ricers use NOS

 

In reality, 20ish hp and 30ish lbs of torque makes no difference.

Troopers are peppy little trucks. Every once in a while I get one in the shop to build.

 

You just got your *** beat by a GIRL! (which really isnt a bad thing)

 

I was being silly. It does make a difference, but on a 6000+ lb truck, the difference is pretty null.

 

BIGRED97: im not sure what year the trooper was. my OD was on but i was on it so hard that it never shifted in. We only got up to maybe 65mph. I have 3:55 gears. I kno they really dont acclerate at all...

 

Haha i know! i was ashamed after talkin all that sh*t.

 

Apparently neither does your truck.
