mine pushes 7200 lbs. more than you'd ever put on there. You must have a cheapo. Mine is a Truckcraft aluminum.

BM, Glad this forum gives you a chance to throw out insults. I'm sure its a self esteem crusher pulling out that step ladder to climb into that new pick up of yours. I got a ez dumper and they are to weak for tree work for my liking. Glad to see you replaced that beater of a truck and those landscaper inserts are working out for ya.
How long of a trip was he making? Why not just pull it home? You didn't spring for some decent tires on that old unit for the guy Dave? Shame shame....
Thanks. The nice thing about having 4 dump trucks is they don't all have to be big. Let me know when you plan on upgrading your little one ton to real truck and I'll guide you through the ins and outs.
tires were fine as was the spare. just obviously easier than towing out of Ohio, completely thru Indiana and into Illinois with just a few hours of daylight left. It was there choice ofcourse tho. Fit perfect in the bed.
Wish I coulda showed them the town and took em out for a nice meal, but it was late so I just bought em supper while they were on the road. I/we, me and Kyle were filthy and lsoaking wet from sweat from work too.
Ouchy....that's gotta leave a mark.
Signed the check for this little truck today. '04 1 ton diesel. Will be replacing our current 1 ton and our ranger estimate truck.
I just hope thats no a 6 liter blakes I've seen horrible things from those engines ....
It is, and I was leery of it at first. Those engines are hit and miss from what I'd read. I had my diesel guy check it out and it wasn't exhibiting any of the warning signs. From what he explained to me, the egr in those trucks is the whole problem. It gets plugged up and forces the turbo to work harder potentially locking that into the fixed full boost setting which will in turn blow the head gasket or something like that. This one still had the factory egr but that will be replaced to a less constrictive version shortly which should eliminate any of the issues the 6.0's are known for.
I suggest you get more experience then, ya know...before spouting off like a retard.
I am working a deal right now, trying to turn my blown 06 into a 2012 F-350 XL Commercial w the diesel, ordering from the factory, 44810 for truck, 5350 for blade, forest green, with the black trim. We will see, the dealership does not know the engine is blown yet! Getting them to give me numbers on the whole deal independently, that way I know they are not inflating anything. Then I will let them know, and dangle the check for the new one in front of them when I tell them, It should book out way higher than I owe, so it should make it easy for them to swallow!
Friend of mine just bought a 1 ton Silverado with no money down and 6 years with no interest and

I see. That's a bit of a long haul for a 630. I don't like to pull mine over 55 mph for the most part. They're a good machine. Set it up with greenteeth and keep them sharp and they'll keep chewin'. Couldn't be happier with my 630B, has ground stumps twice it's size and made it's money back countless times.
My brother runs the bowtie- when I moved back from cali, he came out to help, he pulled my little car on a dolly as i pulled a 34' enclosed full of my stuff, going thru the Rockies, his duramax couldn't handle the grade, i passed him with ten times the load like he was going backwards! That was with my 04 250 w/ 7.3:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

IMO there is no such thing. Not since the 80's
