Talking Something to smile about...

I was going to a friends house to brand some cows. Well on my way up the mountain and I was watch for my buddy to follow up with his Buick LeSabre (yeah right!). I was starting to take notice to the tires throwing small stones and leaving a mark. These marks seem to go on forever (8 miles worth). The only time they seem to stop is waiting for the jake to kick in then they started again.

When we got to the house my buddy asked? Were you having fun!? I said no. Just left it in 3rd and cuirsed at about 30-35 MPH! He told me about the tracks... I told him "It's hard to keep a good dodge / cummins down on the ground even if it weights 8,000 lbs!"

And yes I could of used 4 wheel drive but this was more fun!

I know the feeling. After my tranny instal I could be running about 40 mph on gravel and just stomp on it and get it to go sideways. I was never able to do that with a stock tranny.
