Talking FINALLY PULLED A LOAD

Well as the title says, I was finally able to pull a sizeable load. Southernboy6.2's truck broke down, and I went and hauled it home for him.(well not really it is in my yard, but what are friends for).
I am even happier with my truck now. I am sure the new TC and VB made a difference, but she did her job. Pics below.

OOHHH I miss my old Blazer. That was my first truck I owned was a 77 full size blazer with the 400 small block in it. God dogs what a truck that was. It would pull a mountain if you could find a chain strong enough but I couldn't paint the body fast enough to keep the rust from eatin it up.

Nice being able to use them aint it. I pulled a small load the other day with mine. I hate pintel pull trailers. Had a very small dozer on a pintel pull, was nice having the impact brakes on the trailer though. I never take any pics though.

LOL
the 5.9 in my motorhome pulls my wife's car and it pulls itself too!!! LOL

the freightliner motorhome chassis has exhaust brakes and this extra cool PTO thingy that sets your rpms to a thousand while idling, just turn-on the cruise and push the button... i never realized how much i would use PTO thing but it's cool...
someday i'll learn what it's called....
