I ran a CAT 966 and 980 for 4 years in a sand and gravel pit. It was pretty cool how accurate our scales were even on older machines. Just had to adjust for hydraulic oil Temps. The best story I had was a dude in a Tacoma who put wood sides on it and wood blocks between the frame and the axle of the pickup. He wanted me to put 3 tons of gravel on his truck. Needless to say he got about a ton and the sides almost fell off. I couldn't figure out how the truck didn't squat until I saw the 6x6's under the truck haha. Can't imagine driving that thing like that much less wanting the original weight. No way I was gonna put that much in there lol.

Sounds like a good ol 24 valve. Love those trucks. Those last forever and can pull a house as long as you keep the injection pump constantly fueled.

Rock wedged in the duals reminded me of hauling a load of lumber down a super narrow road along a canal in PA, and got a turtle wedged in the duals. Poor bugger didn't make it.

Your dad should get a new 3500 cab and chassis when you get your next 5500. I enjoy all your videos! Keep up the great work!

I love both of your trucks

SC is the same when it comes to the shoulders. Many are about 6-12" and overgrown with grass. Doesn't take much to have a tire get sucked off the road. Especially not fun in the big boy trucks.

Fun fact, Hoss Cartwright on Bonanza, Dan Blocker, was a distant cousin of my grandma’s

I’m like you bud. Love the Cummins engine no doubt 💪🏻💪🏻👍👍

LOL "plus I got the dog"...

Cummins has had it figured out for awhile unlike some others

Your dad has a pretty cool pickup 😎

Love your videos.

My 7.3ps going to be a new animal here in a couple weeks as im getting a kc300 63/70 turbo and new hpop since running 180cc injectors. I just got 16000 of topsoil (2 loads) using nieghbor friends dump trl. First load was 6000. Second load ended up 14k load. Um no the trl is 14k gvwr. Had to dump a bit off. I dumped it up a bit then paddled it off so everything wasnt in the rear. Ended up 10200 which at limit for trl. My trk towed ok except wasnt fueling proper with hpop code. Running a fresher e40d so gotta be careful

Great video Sam 🇺🇲

My 18 6.7 pulls but more importantly slows down with the exhaust brake way better than my 12v or my 7.3 02 f350 w/ a banks brake. Thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Most I ever gross out with my 2nd gen was 24000lbs and my truck is auto.

I have a 2015 67 only get 8 miles a gallon any way to improve that

Always cool to hang out for a minute! 8) Were Boon and Emma confused? LOL 8) --gary

I hate letting my trailer tires get off the side of the road! There's a hole across the street from me...dang near every trailer hits it with a loud BANG! County puts in some gravel every now and then. It's on a curve and drivers are distracted and they drift to the outside...

Nothing but Cummins since 1991

Does anyone haves suggestions on what brakes to put on my second gen for the front , trying to stop the dust or is it just normal

Hell yeahh

I think with a modded 12 valve it would beat the reliability and drivability then a 6.7 vs living costs. Awesome to see the 6.7 to what it is now from the 5.9 but dinasours vs future I’d choose dinasours all the time

Your pants look like all of my pairs of pants.

What a day for towing

Is v-belts truck all stock? Would like to get your opinion on a afc live.

Genuine curiosity here, why 1 mirror up and the other down on v belts rig?

Are those toyo m608s on the 5500? I was looking at some for my f450.....thoughts on them?

Dang I have a couple of motors for the swamp cooler if ya need one??? Just let me know what size you need. We upgraded to whole house ac system 😏

Have you ever thought about starting a cattle Heard

Do you know if you can make a 12 r2 standard flow machine high flow ?

Rad

12,900 was my guess.

That weld run rig definitely has either a 6bt or 6ct Cummins under that hood no wonder why it’s so slow😂😂

Outlaw🤣

Pug will chooch your pantantler for that truck...... Stovepipe!!!

You certainly don't know Much a bout Kangaroos, nice to here , you using that, the showman Tents Outback many years ago, one would be for a boxing Kagaroo, the tent owner would put boxing gloves on the Roo, he would be in full boxing gear, with gloves , no mucking around. he would challenge others, to get in ring. The Laricans would have done if, for fun. Roos do box amongst themselves,it is natural, and the Poms, thought they did.

I can picture toyotas being driven by Karen's 🤔. Always talking about how good there vehicles are 😂. And tailgating

Allot of people don't like the VP 24 valve. But personally I love them. Also. Is that dash on your dad's truck crack free?

Try telling Karen in her Toyota POS about looking ahead so you don't have to come to a complete stop( a trick mostly old hands know). That is an old school truck driver to the younger viewers. It always takes longer to get back up to speed ,the more gears you have to go through. Also you are a big bully😂 Karan had to stop and rescue a snail or a ladybug.

Has he mentioned in other videos if he’s 5500 is re-geared?

Do I need to come show you how a 12 valve pulls a hill🤣🤣

Bro build me a bed like your dads truck that for my f350 and make a KZfaq video!!!! Lol 😂 I’ll drive down from Washington

Can you haul a kx 057-2 on our dads gooseneck. I’m looking for a drop deck goose neck
