Im a Ford guy but that was an impressive tow, very stout truck and it looks great with the flatbed.

Thanks for the video Sam It pulled great up the hills just getting broke in ❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️.

Wow, haven’t been up 20 since they started all that construction. Seemed like the truck did great pulling that weight. Last time I was up that road it wasn’t paved past Fuller lake.

Nice one Sam ! She is a towing monster 😈💪🏻

Towing Monster Sam 💪🏻👍🇺🇸

Nice I got my 40k diamond c custom with 3" ball, obviously, and I tow my medium mulcher that weighs 31k, and trailer weighs 9600, pulls great still. Stopping is still pretty easy, too. It's just so nice not using our peterbuilt to get into tighter areas.

Great Towing as always bud 👍

Awesome video man!!! I’m somewhat new to the steel track world my guess would be to prevent the tracks to touch pavement so it doesn’t damage them!!!! But I’d love to be educated a little more on this subject,but awesome video man

I've been down that road. Plenty of times Man. You have some cojones to be holding that way through there 🤘🏽🇺🇸

Awesome video 👍👍👍

The extra gears on the Fords definitely make it nice going up hills but nothing and I mean nothing compares to the cummins exhaust brake.

Hey man I’m it was awhile back that you did it but I was curious what all was needed to make grandmas truck a dually

Hey Sam could you make a video on what the diffrence in phisical parts and or ecu programing is between the standerd output and the high output cummins? And maybe what the diffrence is between them and the derated 5500 trucks. Ive allways wondered how hard it would be to turn a 500 up to the H.O. numbers where it should already be. It has never made to much sense to me to derate the trucks as they get bigger. I get they do it for reliability or longevity or what ever but they can make it just as reliable as a 3500 with the more power if they wqnted to. In my opinion

A good idea I think would be to Install a fan switch so you can flick it on when it’s gets warmer then 205-2010

Wonder how the ford 6.7 with 10 spd would do on those climbs, I’m sure the downhills would be handful tho with fords stupid exhaust brake setup

How do you feel about that 240 oil temp? I was going over Donner once, not pulling anything close to what you are, and hit 235 on a 85 degree day. I was pushing it a little bit, 55-60mph I didn't think it would get that warm on me.

It's been a minute, ya must be busy. I went looking yesterday in case YT screwed up again! LOL Hoss not like the 4500? Would that tow the other DC on a long haul?? Just a dumb thought. 8-/ Bet the new motor would like fresh oil sooner running hotter maybe ?? Mine does. 8) Great to see ya, hope all's well! 8) --gary

Did good, imagine if the engine could inhale and exhale without the mandated garbage, would run alot cooler too.

What make and model is the grapple you’re running on the Mecalac?

Let me know when you run into weirdos, they make the world go around. Weirdos live matter, lol 😂

Sure thing get that FROD for uphill, that way you get only one trip per your lifetime, going up. Down and you will be going over that cliff without an exhaust brake.
