Stepping up my tow rig game

Had to be gross trailer weight and surprised its not higher. This was 16klb load

I’m surprised you aren’t harassed by dot. I think legally you have to chain down the bucket on each tractor

Mine (non obs) wasnt bad but had to drive by the egt guage and not the speedometer at the higher elevations across texas and new mexico. Pulling any grade above 4000' i was limited to 55-60mph.

The manual and SD 7.3 are a whole different animal.

No ic and a horrible turbo make the obs 7.3 a total turd in stock form. Then he most likely (well, assuming because 2wd?) has 3.55s with an auto

Ca is wierd like that. They often look the other way on things like that, but will hammer a semi for a cracked marker lense.

Yeah pretty sure it is 355s.

I've got a couple 2nd gen Cummins for sale for decent price around me that'd I'd just offload that OBS for if I had a damn title from the tweaker punk

That's only a marginal gain, you're still probably better off with the PW.
