He always does that, jumps into a thread, posts a message just to cause a stir. I think he feels good just from getting a rise out of people.

I'm sure it has happened, but I haven't seen it, and Chevys and Fords need pulling out a lot more than Dodges it seems.

 

yeah im always seeing dodges pulling out others , and as you see in the picture sweet!!!

 

Ive got friends of mine that call me at 3 in the morning to come pull them out because they know that my truck can do it, and all of them were chevys and fords i ve got one friend that has a honda prelude that breaks down all the time and guess who he calls?
BTW who ever told you that chains were safe lied to you
a friend of mine lost his dad because he was pulling his son out of a ditch when the chain snapped and lashe over the truck smacking the windshield and hitting him.
and he wasnt being stupid either all slow and easy tow STRAP IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.

 

that scary man :/

 

Maybe he's not a brother......

 

They ONLY way the chain broke doing that is
1. The chain was tied in a knot
2. He never checked his chain for bad links (stretched or cut)
3. Used too small of a chain

Like I said check with ANY tow truck driver or any tow truck owner and they will say chains used right and maintiance properly is safer and stronger than any tow rope.

 

I think ****** straps are the way to go. A smaller truck can then exert the same momentum as a larger, heavier truck by snatching it out. I had to pull out a forklift at work one day, and not even 4 lo got it out (the chassis torqued over, that was kinda cool) with a chain. I then got out my ****** strap, and snapped on it about 5 times and pulled it out.

 

They all have thier place but ****** strap or tow strap is only good for 10 recoveries befor you hit the recomended time to replace a chain is good till the links get damaged. I know from being a Firefighter that a Life rope is only good to use 1 time then we have to throw it away due to the rope is streatched and may be damaged.
