Default Just pulled a truck with the D....... AGAIN!!!!

I with I had pictures of this... but it was at 3am and camera didnt work great. I started at 8pm to go and get a buddy's GMS 1500 full size truck from 85 miles away. The truck had a bad wheel bearing so it couldnt be driven. Went my brother-in-law and his dual axel 15' long trailer to get the truck. Mind you this is just a flat trailer.. not a car hauler. we drove the truck up onto the trailer at 3am and tied it down with some walmart 1,666lb tie downs. put it this way once up on the trailer the bed of the truck stuck out about 2 ft. and the tires were right on the rails of each side of the trailer. Drove 35 mph the entire way home with it and took us almost 3hrs to get home. The D squatted down a little but not bad. If you would have seen this you also would have thought "NO WAY IS THIS GOING TO MAKE IT HOME" I never thought that it would. But we did and it was amazing. I mean we are talking a full size 1500 pickup truck with the bed loaded and the cab loaded with stuff on a trailer that wasnt meant to haul a truck!!

Just thought I would share my most recent experience.

It has the 4.7 in it. No engine mods.. Just the add-a-leaf in the rear and the T/B cranked in the front.

Hey, You got a deal... the next time I get a vacation or some time off... I will be there to try and out pull ya.

I am almost tempted to just put that truck back on the trailer, hook it up to the D just to take a picture of it so you guys know what it looked like. It was crazy looking... I mean I even had a Michigan State boy drive by me and just shake his head in disbelieve.
