Just wondered how many of you would like it if I showed up at the pulls with a 25ft gooseneck to pull broken trucks home? Thought I might do it just to cover my expenses for going to the pulls. Some of you live far enough away there might be hotel expenses too.

Sounds like a good idea man. I am rather particular on who I spend the night in a hotel with.

Pack Mule

shoot i'd let ya tote me home if i broke down.

Tree DR

No the room isn't for you its for me and my kids if they were with me. You get to sleep in your broke truck.

Hey Ive logged a good many hours sleepin in that truck. Sometimes a king size bed is too "small" for me an tha ol lady. No one pics on me out there.

Tree DR

That's what the 8ft bed is for right.

tristan21

Why didnt I think of that?

How much does your mileage drop pullin that trailer? What about with a truck of two on it?

I wish I had that tow truck today since the truck has finally decided it doesn't really want to move anymore.... To think a simple trip across town became a pain in the !!!!!!!

tristan21

So cp3? I might be able to help just tell me what its doin.

Tree DR

GS's tran died finally. Slow and painfully.
Fuel mileage pulling a trailer at 60mph about 14mpg at 65mph about 13. With a truck on it about 11-12 at 60mph.

tristan21

Thats right he told me that. Ooops I thought that was you tree dr. When he said it wouldnt move I assumed the worst for your cp3. Its hard to tell sometimes on the iPhone what your lookin at. I mustve confused his for yours.

Ground Shaker

Yea, tranny is dead.... So hopefully matt will be able to take some time to pick me up. He's building the tranny as we speak so it is underway.

T21 you could have used a lift to Floor It a couple of months ago. Did you ever get your truck running right? What pull are you going to start pulling your truck?

tristan21

I dont know yet the engineers want me to stay in OK until mid-june!!! Im thinkin Im jus gonna have to pull tha plug at some level and do what I can over tha phone.

My lil ad in tha Marshfield phone book for my shop just came out (yesterday) and I expect to start getting calls and I will need to be home for that.

I'll letcha know. Ive been pretty excited to get the truck back after talkin to JD and John the other day.
