hes having some shifting probs and the truck has never been off-roading its never plowed or towed or anything 100,000 miles and its shifting funny and sometimes he has to turn the truck off to fix it..... put that in ur pie hole and smoke it!!! my trans is all new and ready for some more beatin!!
im pretty sure either way itd suck to move...then again ive pushed my truck before so id rather it be in the wagon...hey i overloaded my truck again..no pictures this time.. my buddy had a trailer that needed to be backed in like 10 feet. had a bunch of shop stuff like saws and drills and laiths. i asked him before we hooked up...how much that thing weght?! he said 10,000-13,000 lbs my truck went right to bump stops haha whats my hitch rated to? i know its not that high and for a bumper ball its only 5,000 but i have a normal hitch whats the rating on that?
would it be harder to put 2k pounds on your back and walk or would it be harder to pull it all in a wagon?
People are saying this shortened the life of his transmission, that simply is not true. The weight was held off the ground by the suspension, that's what would have been damaged. If he towed the load in a trailer or in the bed it makes no difference to the transmission. Poor argument
me towing had nothing to do with the trans blowin up. my brake Torques are what blew it up and i know it for a fact! i tow like once a month if that or even load my bed. but when i do i make it worth while.
Its people like you who cause big messy ugly crashes. Thinking they can tow 13000lbs with their small V8 1/2 ton truck, and hauling around twice what they should in the box...not tied down no less. Well done.
i have a no slip mat that thing wasnt going anywere. and i never towed anything over 10,000lbs i backed it up all of 10 feet.
That mat wouldn't save you if you jammed on the brakes hard. Either way, its people like you who cause accidents trying to haul big truck loads with under sized trucks.
