Default Dyno prep

What do you guys normall do when you take your truck to the Dyno? Just drive up and go? or do you do any last minute tewaks? suspension changes? tire pressures?

I havent dyno'd this truck yet but I will within the month, just wanting to get it right the first time so I get the best numbers. With a 3K stall and 4.10's what gear do you dyno it in? I dont want to chunk the driveshaft out from under this thing... that would be bad...

anyway, let me know how you guys do it.

No, just go and do it!
You might make sure your air and fuel filters are clean.

Like Trev said, just roll in. Yeah make sure tires are set up and you'll want to run it in 3rd. Make sure there's a big *** fan blowing on your grill while you pull!

Make sure your tranny and engine oil/fuilds are full and your belt/tensiors look ok....clean out your air/fuel filters. Make sure your truck is also at operating temperatures before you run.
