How bout that Dodge!!

[gilbertmsg]

This is an update from an older post that I submitted a few days ago. My good friend can take the rubbing that he will get from these photos. We have the Chevy strapped down with 3500 lb tie downs on each wheel. On the front, a 10,000 lb strap, in the rear chains from the bump stops to the trailer. Going to make a test run, then check our work. Going Tuesday to Maryland for new tranny (192 miles). I will update later. Any comments or advice concerning the way we have the truck loaded would be appreciated. How bout that Dodge!!!

Nice! You will have bragging rights for while now. Is his truck modified? How many miles? I always thought the allison trannies were solid units.

so trailer at max cap? whats curb weight on that boat anchor?

 

[gilbertmsg]

Trailer is at max, his truck weight is 6700 lbs. Yes he has deleted his duramax and has been tuned by EFI live. Great running truck.

Priceless pictures!

I think the Chevy is squatting more than the Dodge.

Trailer is overloaded if truck weighs 6700. Its only a 7K trailer. I'm sure it will handle it since I've hauled many a pickup with my 7K as well. That's probably why I'm replacing my trailers equalizer kits, bushings, plates, and new tires this weekend.

This has been discussed already in another thread. A good amount of the load is on the towing truck as well. So he's either real close to max or a hair over but not as overloaded as it sounds.

My buddy has a 3/4 08 and is on his 3rd. He is almost always bumper towing with his though, no 5th wheel.
