Hauled Heavy... And FAR.....

Crossed the scales at 33k. Only had to go from Mississippi to Ohio...

Those counter-weights are heavy!

Good looking truck!

How much did it squat when you lifted that jack leg?

Not really anymore than in the pic, BUT it has brand new HD springs and i was running with 90lbs in the airbags. I usually just put the jacks down overnight to hold some wieght off the rearend.

Looks like it handled it well.

It did alright. Trailer was max'd out, and with all the tools/fuel/torches and tanks in the bed it was ALOT. About as much as i'd i wanna do with a SRW...

How heavy was the counter weight? About 20k?

Good looking load..I can't blame you for not wanting to haul more then that with a srw, im the same way with mine. I could use a dually myself. Good looking pickup btw!

Ahhhh, bags.....That splains it. Just thought that load was a little far forward on the trailer not to squat the chit outta a stock sprung truck.

that tow pig looks great!

What kind of interstate speeds were you running on the flats and on the hills?

Normally i like to run about 70-75. Its got 3.73 gears and to keep it in the power and EGT's in the right place 70-75 works best. This trip i didnt go any faster than 70, was worried about blowing a tire and such.

I've posted before but my tow tunes are SPOT ON! It was live tuned by Tony while pulling 18k. On this haul i switched out of the high hp tow tune and into the lower hp one, even on up hills where it may lose a little speed and even if i have to shift out of 6th, EGT's never got above 1,300. On 2 of the largest hills i had to shift to 5th but never dropped below 58mph or so...

I hope it paid well, sucks that it weighed so much you couldn't throw something else on the deck of the trailer. Nice and easy to tie down though!
