Gross Weight??

[BCFAST]

What's the HIGHEST weight youve ever run over the scales in your Dodge and trailer?

------------------
97 2500 CC 4x4 3. 54 5spd, #12 plate, 4inch open exhaust, 235/85 Michelins, PrimeLoc, Red Tops

Well, my Ram has tipped the scale at about 33,000 lbs including trailer. This was weighed by a Indiana DOT on her scales. But my dad was dating her at the time so he didnt have any problems. #ad


So how long till Doc tells his high weight of greater than 1 million pounds in his ram w/o trailer.

Well, when I first bought my Dodge, I got real stupid and headed to the Lance dealer. I have a really nice 26' Prowler travel trailer and a great 19' ski boat, but I could only take one at a time. Silly me thought, buy a LANCE cabover! Yeah baby! I bought the 11'3" with everything on it. As a matter of fact it cost me 2/3 of what I paid for my truck! Well... ... ... ... when I left the dealer, it was a 20 mile drive home. . EEEEEEKKKKK"SSS it scared the holy $h1t out of me. The slightest wind sent me all over the road! Off it came when I got home and back to town for a set of Firestone Ride Rites! Well, that took the sag out of the back end of the truck but wooooo baby, the wind still had its way with me. I thought, hey, get this thing weighed. . YEKS!!! 3000lbs over the GVW! That was the dry weight with my fuel tank empty! Why they sell these trucks with the "camper package" is beyond me. As you guessed, I sold it the following week and never did get to use it. The funny thing was, the guy who called and showed up was driving the exact truck I owned except for the color. He told me that I was a puss for not keeping it and that it would never tip over. . Well I was up front with him about my fears but he bought it anyway, laughing all the time we were installing it on his truck. . Funny thing was, a month later I sat it advertised in the local rag with that guys phone number. I guess he should have listened to me~!
I should have kept the camper for my 72 Chevy! shoulda, coulda, woulda!

The most I've hooked to was a rented backhoe and the truck trailer and backhoe where 24,800 pounds. Engine had plently of reserve power left but the trailer brakes wheren't the best. They would go from no brakes to lock up with nothing in between.

22,000 all the time while towing. No problem. Good trailer brakes and E-Brake.

sick, wrong & probably illegal or at least a jury will think so if you're ever at fault - heck, even if you're not at fault a scumbag lawyer will sue you anyhow. Buy a truck rated for the job - not an engine rated for the job in a chassis that isn't.

They say you can literaly take the house with if its Cummins powered. But Id rather take the garage. So last summer hauled a single car garage to friends place. Good reward for the was a case of Miller.
Other than that Ive hauled cars,trucks and wood.
