Default RE: Guys, check this vidoe out, it will make your year!

Couple of things with this guy...

1 - He has that U-Haul truck on the trailer COMPLETELY wrong. He has that big, flat back end facing forward, just adding to the stress and the heaviest part is behind the trailer axles. Plus, we have no idea if the truck is wmpty or loaded to the hilt. Strike 1

2 - He has the RPM's pegged doing 60 MPH. Only 2 reasons that is happening. 1 - He has the tranny locked out of OD or even a lower gear or 2 the TC is slipping, which would also be causing the tranny temp's to soar. Strike 2

3 - The guy is comparing apples to oranges. You don't know it the other truck is stock, is auto or man, has exhaust mods, etc. Unless he is comparing similar to similar you can't say crap. Just because he's mad because he can't keep up with another is irrelevant. Strike 3

Obviously, something sn;t right with that truck, but to me, the guy doesn't know how to run his truck, doesn't know how to tow, and is crying because he fell for the advertising hype that he would be able to tow a grade, doing 90MPH, in 100* weather.

Just a couple of bells that went off to me. And gods knows I've had my share of truck issues, but this guy seems like he's sticking himself in the butt.
