I got to haul 12-15 cords of firewood every year. So With the price of fuel going up I try to make a full load every trip. Of course not trying to over do the truck in weight but trying to maximumize the load everytime...

I've hauled 1.0-1.5 cubic yards of gravel without thinking twice...

It a matter of not exceeding the GVWR or the weight rating of the axle. This information is displayed on a sticker in the driver side door frame...

1100...sounds like 2 dead ******. so is texas a good place to get fat hookers? kansas city isn't too bad...just gotta wait till the end of the month when most of the "john's" are out of money and waiting on that first-of-the-month paycheck...that whole supply and demand thing in action.

so how was that old diesel...i've been kicking the idea of turning one of those into a veggie mobile...just gotta convince the wife it'll work and not cost an arm and a leg

RedRam05 wanted me to get him a hook down here.....
texas is a place to find fat mexicans.... and some damn fine ones too. Im sure if AZ2500 didnt live in Fort Hoodlum he'd know what i was talking about...

it was 1100 pounds of quick crete, yeah wound up mixing a full ton of quickcrete with just a damn wheelbarrow

lets see i was 16 in 1999, so the car was 22 years old, never had any issues, wait it wouldnt shut off when you turned it off, had to pop the hood and manually shut it off, but that only lasted a few days, then had it fixed. it ran like a champ, inline 5, 21:1 compression ratio... power windows, automatic door locks, A/C, disc brakes (last year before ABS), crumple zone was the other vehicle. It died because the oil pressure gauge screwed up, it always increased when you gave it gas and decreased on idle, unlike ours that just sense like 7 PSI and then goes to the middle line, well it always leaked, but apparently it really leaked badly and the engine siezed...[:@] sad day, was planning on putting in a storage lot to save but since it died it wasnt worth it. was in great shape, only rust was underneath, nothing visible. I considered putting in a something like a ford 302 and tranny in it just to F around in. It smoked big time on cold morning start ups and sounded great, almost made you think you were in a U boat....

theyre great buys, very reliable car, cant say that about many 20+ y/o veh, ill still see some on the road, so that makes em 30 y/o vehs..

damn ive been wanting waffles, think ill try waffle house, thats about as trailer trash of a place i can think of, well that and shoneys
hrm nearest waffle house is in Austin and village inn is closed, theres always dennys... god bless fat america and 24 hour glutton houses...

2500=3/4 ton=1500 pounds
3500=1 ton=2000 pounds

I had 2180 pounds in the back of my dually, and it was just barely on the helpers.
