Big Dumb Loads

Factory Rep= You haul what????

 

[Elwenil]

Don't you have to pull the cab to work on a lot of stuff on those piles of shit?

No. That truck is old enough that it's a 7.3L diesel or 6.8 gasser.

Ah, gotcha. I thought the cab had to come off all of those to pull the transmission or something.

 

[ANGELO]

He's at the freedom factory right now. He's from out of state. Comes down every year for the race season.
It's a 7.3

 

[AKnate]

I bet it goes down the road like a water bed

 

[Thatg9659]

Needs a truss under the frame.

Tranny drops from underneath. Cab comes off to pull the engine.

I had the unpleasant task of swapping a flexplate in 8" of snow in the driveway. I hate cold weather, but I did get a HF tranny jack out of the deal.

You have a lot of faith in those rotten rear quarters….

If it was rotten I wouldn't have done it. Do I look like an amateur?

You want the truth of a good lie?

Back it up a couple of feet and it would probably be better.
Dual tandems under the trailer so the axles are probably good for 10-12k each, might be a little much for the truck, but the trailer should be ok with the weight.

kinda what I was thinking as well.

Emergency use to get it from your place to a shop? yea go for it.

hotshotting it across several states? prolly not a good idea.

geez, that one took me a second to figure out WTF was going on there...

 

[WaterH]

Won’t scratch the paint.

Looks like it will work until he hits a dip in the road and gets some axle movement.

I've done that to carry a few 20 footers. But I did it back to front.

I have hauled 20's with the Hardbody

throw them under the truck, and two motorcycle straps, just take it easy and go home

never had it not work

 

[gunracer1]

did it with rebar more than a few times.

Those are very lightweight trucks. You'd be surprised. With a dd13 daycab configuration, I'm wanting to say they are like 13 to 14k. Maybe less. All our tare weights are with 48' aluminum hopper bottoms and they are around 16k truck and trailer. They are all plastic. Definitely not old school iron. Which is likely why its on the trailer to begin with.

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

Always fun to get stuck behind a rig move. May as well pull off and take a few hours nap.
Where's that pic from? Looks like a Doyon rig and NES (used to be Peak) truck.

Road grader at the end for braking?

That was awesome!

Wow. My International flatbed 10 wheeler was right around 24,000 empty. Was a semi truck that got converted to a concrete truck and then later to a dumping 18ft flatbed.
855 Cummins and 9 speed.

Yeah, probably just in case. I'm not up to speed in how that all works, just have seen it, or have been held up
Looks like a 16M or H, so ~50,000lbs.

Couple weeks ago they shutdown the north end of the Dalton for almost 2 days while moving a rig something like 60 miles, at 2-3 mph. Was way too wide for anything to pass by.

cool. With rebar, let the end drag and make cool Sparks.

with channel steel you can run both hooks at the bottom, so if you drag it on something the strap won't get cut
