1500 hemi vs the CTD
My buddy announced loudly the other night that if I'd take my duals off and run just two rear tires he could pull me with his 05 1500. I just laughed at him. I think he actually wants to try it, in the dirt. Sometimes I guess you have to show people who's boss, I reckon. I've got highway tires on it now though, think that will hurt me?

Just tonight I smoked a 1500 hemi and he even had a rolling start. Take your wheels off and enjoy the victory.

Shoot, take all 4 rear wheels off and you'll still pull him!

Does he even have 4wd? You don't see to many 4x4 hemi half tons. Mostly just the 2wd ones with the 20'' rims.


You should have a quite a weight advantage on him, so you should just pull him any where you want to go.

That's a good one, I'll ask him if he'd like that.

Why even bother - all the energy expended to remove your wheels. Sounds like an idiot. Even after you would pull him where-ever, with ALL your wheels off, he'd probably come up with something else just as stupid. And we all know there is NO cure for stupidity!!

I'd only do it if he agreed on a $20 bet and would do the labor in taking off the wheels and replacing them.

.
Around here 2wd trucks are worthless. You go no where all winter with one. Around here its the oposite. I dont think I have ever seen a new 2wd on the lot. The ones that are around more than likely where special ordered.

Wow that's crazy like a different world or something .

Although most of the cummins you see around here are 4x4 because in 2wd they are prone to sinking to china in wet grass.
