Cummins came through....!

Yesterday I was taking a shower and heard someone banging on my front door.

I throw a towel on and walk outside and low and behold this lady got lost and ended up putting their jeep over an enbankment in my driveway trying to turn around.

This bank is almost 90 degrees and one of her front wheels was in the air.

It was literally on the verge of flipping end over end.

Well, I back up the Dodge, throw a tow strap on the Jeep, throw the truck in 4wl, 1st gear and ease it on up.

It pulled it right out just idling the truck - I did'nt even feel it back there.

It was my first opportunity since getting the truck where I've witnessed the raw power this engine has.

Incredible...

that's pretty cool, that you were able to help the lady out, and see what the truck could do.

OK...now you walk out in your bath towel & put one hand on the door while looking into her eyes & smile. You have only witnessed the beginning of what these trucks are capable of. Good Job helping the lady out!
