Re:Ram 4500/5500 Cancelation being Reconsidered

I want to see Dodge make a commercial with the Cummins pulling a Gooseneck with a Case 650 Dozer on it like I have to do. Or hauling a cab tractor with duals still on it. Come on people. Or how about a dodge hooked to a pulling sled with SMOKE so thick it clouds the sky. THATS A COMMERCIAL!!!!!!! ;D

I have seen Dodge trucks in Mexico that are larger than a Ram 3500, same basic lines but certainly bigger. I wonder if these are what I have seen.

we dont need no stinking CAT our little Cummins goes in ford 850's surely it can handle a Dodge 5500 it would be sweet if a cummins 8.3 was offered but i would not get a Cat just my opinion...Also i hear our little 5.9 is rated to pull 50,000 lbs!

Re:Ram 4500/5500 Cancelation being Reconsidered

Hey talked with Joey the other night. He has a white Ford 350 that we like to call the Happy Sperm. In the snow the other night he said his wouldnt even move. Yes it is a 4x4. Then last night he came down to help feed. Well he insisted on driving his truck out in the field to feed. We went through the gate............ well thats it. We were hung on a piece of loose hay. Had to go back and get the Dodge to pull him home. That pretty white Ford is not so pretty and white today. <br><br>Just goes to show you that the Ford commercial is a joke. Like we didn't already know that.

This is just MHO though.<br>[/quote]<br><br>That would be cool in a way 'cause the M-B has a real engine brake! Straight pipe that sucker, let off the throttle, and <br>[move]BUWAAAAT![/move]

http://community.webshots.com/photo/...74785278DPDIoF<br>This truck does not have two sets of axles but there were some just like it that did. I wish iI had more pics. they had dodge trucks bigger than fl170's down there. I saw one that had to be like a f650 or bigger. it was sweet they use them for grabage trucks.<br>DM01

Put a western hauler bed on it and pull up beside a 450 or 550 ford and I'll bet they will be doing this . ;D
