sachsmo: I have owned a cummins since 99, 50% of my life. Added up between my close friends and I we have owned 15 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation dodge pickups. I will never own the other brands. There is no way to argue that the front end would not be better with hubs.
Guy here has an 2010 one ton single axle and he ordered it with hubs,,, $4500 extra!!!:msp_ohmy:If it had hubs I would agree, but the vacuum crap isnt bullet proof.
Just have to pack a spare lift pump,,, in case,,,,:hmm3grin2orange:nice load!!!!!!!!!!!!
dodge ... depend on it.....
thats cool but cant do that here the dot here is in ever town all the local cops are dot cops and do cks all hrs of the night last week they set up at 3amhey tom I have an 8500 pound tag and came home from the quarry over 10,500 many times
see who's here in Gods country.
Hmm, I've never heard of any cops caring about weight or load securement on any non- commercial vehicle around here. Apparently it happens elsewhere.
After cutting this Oak today I was going home and I came upon a NC Highway Patrol License check. In NC the Highway Patrol runs the DOT scales also. I thought I will have to make payments on this fine. Even though I had enough tag (13,000 lbs) I figured they would still say the truck is overloaded. I rolled up to the check point and the trooper was really checking the load of wood out.
The trooper said: What you been doing bossman?
I said cutting alittle firewood.
He said : You load these big blocks by yourself?
I said: Yes, do you want to see my license?
He said : Sure do.
He looked at my license and said: Thank you and drive safe, still looking at the wood.
I felt like saying : Aren't you going to arrest me?
I was amazed he didn't care about my tag weight or the trucks GVW.
I stopped at a truck stop on the way home and weighed the truck, it weighed
11,820 without my 200lbs in it. The truck weighs 6800 lbs empty so thats 5,000 lbs of Qak
in the bed.
It was a fun day running the 390xp and my 372xp. I haven't run the 372xp in a couple years because all the Oaks I've been cutting lately were 385/390/395 size. It was fun to cut a small one for a change. Hope ya like the pics, cut safe.
