27,400

Just press the Ctrl & Alt buttons at the same time and then press an arrow key to flip your screen view. ( ex. left arrow clockwise, right arrow counter clockwise, up arrow back to standard view)

Nevermind...nothing to see here...for some reason pics from my phone won't upload.

This used to get towed a LOT, became unstreetable, had a full roadrace suspension under it, corbeau trs seats, big stereo and all the cool factor amenities, handled like a slotcar on the 17" wheels...but bucking at cruising speeds on the highway gets old, and feathering the throttle to keep from obliterating the tires in 3rd gear was the downside.

i know how that is. 840 rwhp on pumpgas is a hanful on the street but calm at the same time. mine actually handle the highway nicely for having a glide in it

Lol well there's about a 300 rw difference there! It had ice cold ac in it, but you'd get heat from the longtubes start coming through if you were iddling or slowly moving. Had badass brakes on it at one time, but after a good hard pull, vacuum was a tad low to run em etc. It was a blast with a stock motor and running 13.8's in full street trim with 3.55's. I made it more fun/finicky to drive with each mod :-/

lol i had manual brakes with sn95 stuff in the front and strange discs in the back. went 143mph on 92 oct wawa pumpgas(turbo). my wife had a 04 v6 stang i turboed and that went 12.57@113 on 18'' michelins. that was a FUN car lol. towed that thing 500 miles through the hills in WV with a 7.3 idi and i will NEVER do that again!

37 foot?? I had a MTI Just like that but it had a 8' fold down side door. That was a sweet trailer, my 6.0 sure didnt like it though LOL 24K & BOOM! Ford got that one back.

motown how big is that? i dont need quite that size but im thinking id like a nice 32' like that

It's a 44'er. It weighs 8K empty according to the manufacturer. I am looking into getting a 40'er. This one is nice but I want a lighter trailer and a few feet shorter.

If something goes boom in my truck on the highway the fire dept will find me standing uphill of it calling my insurane agent lol.

Now in sig. LOL

I feel famous now.

BOOM was my POS 6.0 on the highway W my 37 footer behind me, no warning at all. 2006 f 250 2x4 I bought it brand new off the lot. Dealership said #2 cyl. injector failed, hydro locked & pulled the rod in two pieces I guess. I got to see it & the crank was twisted in half, literally in two separate pieces!! Looked like a bomb went off in the oil pan, there was aluminum everywhere!!

Ford did very good though 100% warranty I didnt pay $1 not even a tow bill for the truck or the trailer.

Good luck with yours!!:poke:

Damn that sucks!!! Hopefully mine holds together for a couple hundred thousand more miles.

I like your view on the 6.0.

I try to keep it real while staying optimistic.

Awesome trailer. Does it have Living quaters?

Awesome trailer. Does it have Living quaters?

nope but if you wanted it could I think. I mean theres enough room anyways and theres already a GIANT frickin inverter in there all electric runs off the truck all 110 lighting and plugs pretty nice only problem is a 68 ford pickup with tucked bumpers wont clear the wheel wells..... but we got in a 69 cobra and a 2001 saleen CLOSE fits! we were gonna take soemthin else but it was too wide too ... cant remember what it was.......

WOW, with a V10 I feel bad for your credit card. I pulled a 24' trailer W/ 6k on it about 3 hours I got 5.6 MPG round trip. I had no choice it was a loaner truck, I would never own one after having a PSD.

wow my wallet would be hurting. buddy had a v10 ex and with a 28' enclosed v nose he got bout 10.2 iirc with a 3k lb mustang in it.

:whs: I have air lifts on my truck and love them when hauling or towing big loads

my old truck had the extra overload springs the DA ordered it with them, it had a 3in rack front to back.
It rode like a 2 horse wagon on a cobble stone road unless it was loaded.
the only time i had it leveled was when i had a little over 5,000 lb or rock put on the bed for the drive way.

Have air bags. 14lbs excavator on the bumber pull trailer is quite a bit to be putting on air bags .

What hit the fender??? Trailer backing oops???

No, an idiot deputy on I-70 in Indiana passed the truck on the left and then swerved in front over onto the shoulder. Then he opened his door and hit the fender with his door. The impact destroyed his door and fender, and drove the fender into the grill and bumper. State Farm said it was our fault, because we "failed to yield to an emergency vehicle."

Damn !!! I was hauling the 44'er up through Tennessee last week and a Trooper cut me off to get the little red BMW that jumped in front of me to "try" to hide from the Trooper that got him on radar. The Trooper went from 90 to nothing right in front of me. I would have killed him I wasn't paying attention and got it all slowed down in time.

did he have lights and seirens gong if not it his fault.

Gotta love it!

Really? Apparently it's my fault regardless. How else exactly can you yield to an "Emergency Vehicle" that passes on the left, with lights and sirens turned on, and then swerves over in front of the truck onto the shoulder and then immediately opens his door? All that could be done is what WAS done, which was to slow down and stay over in the right lane to let him pass. The truck was going under 30 mph, with the emergency flasher on no less. It was impossible to change lanes over to the left lane after he passed due to traffic, and due to the fact that he swerved over about two car lengths in front of the truck and took the shoulder. You can't just swerve to the other lane when your a CC/LB Dually pulling a 30' trailer. Who could have predicted that the idiot would swerve over in front of the truck onto the shoulder? I got a copy of the police report - it basically states that the Deputy was sitting on the shoulder, minding his own business, and my truck just happened to come along and sideswipe him! The report was "written" by a local city cop that they called to the scene to do the "investigation." All that DB had to do was wait another few seconds for the truck to pass and nothing would have happened. Instead, he opens his door into oncoming traffic. I bet he wasn't trained to do that.

I tried to get State Farm to get the dashcam video, but they weren't interested. If it was completely up to me I would have fought the ticket, but ultimately it wasn't worth missing work and driving out of state to go to court. That's when they depend on, obviously.

what are you running for wheels n tires scotty?

what are you running for wheels n tires scotty?

a shop called Stazworks Extreme Offroad made the wheels for me... sense they don't make anything for a 99-04 450, i went that route... they're 20x10 in the front/single wheel style, and 20x9 in the rear sunk in as deep as possible... the tires are 35x12.50x20 MT atz... they ride and handle great

Did you buy that truck new? If not where did you buy it from? Just wondering because there is not many trucks like that one around the chicagoland area and a buddy of mine had an 03 that he sold back in 04 or 05 that looks identical to yours.

welcome to PSN, your truck and trailer are going to look awsome hooked together

No. I just bought it in September. Its an 02. bought from Rockford Area

Ok just curious. That truck was named the black pearl for a reason. Many transmissions, a turbo and a motor blew up on that thing. Looks identical though withwhat looks to be darker tinted windows, those rims and everything.

This is the truck and my 08 C&C Trailer..... about 26ft on the floor....

Well going to be hauling kinda heavy in the mornin. 8-10 pallats of st augistine grass. I am hopeing it has dried out last time I hauled them wet. The guy loading them said they probly weighed about 3g's a pop.
Will get some pics up when I get loaded.

Yeah that's her, she's had a couple IDIs, 12v Cummins & more then a hand full of gassers. She finally got a real truck now though. :ford:

Did she finally decide on a cherokee?

No, that was my brother's Jeep. He wrecked it good, so I sold it. :D It's hard to tell in the pics, but the whole front end is pushed in and the frame is bent.

i had the truck for about an hr and was showing it to my dad (he is a painter) and he said it couldn't be plain white so if i bought the supplies and helped, he'd spray it. I found tangerine orange in House of Kolor catalog (i love orange) and it kinda went from there, he did all the design work and such, looks way better in the sun

No idea... I can check around for ya... SLAPS Homepage (http://www.stlouisareapowerstrokes.com) ... alot of those guys have been in the area alot longer than I have, ya may try to post up over there too...

All you need is a trailer preferably with a winch and a good supply of junk. Knowing who pays the highest prices doesn't hurt

I wouldn't count on it being the main breadwinner (especially if you have a new truck you're trying to pay for...). but, you should get used to spending time down in the ghetto where the scrap yards are. :D Sometimes, the lines can get pretty long. I've never been to the scrap yards themselves, always drove by on our way to a jobsite.

What I used to tow. 31' Mallard with no slides.

You're "baby" needs a set of airbags. Your steers look light fyi.

Yea it does. What it really needs is traction bars I thought the axle was going to rip off. I had to stop and detune.

You're "baby" needs a set of airbags. Your steers look light fyi.

Air bags will not change light steering, they will only push the back of the truck up until it is level.

If it pushes the back of the truck up, it is going to transfer weight to the front. The ass end squatting down pulls weight off the front. Being that trailer is a gooseneck I'd venture to say that he still has quite a bit of weight on the front end, but just that much more on the back lol.

sounds more like the gooseneck ball needs to be moved more forward of the rear axle so there could be more weight on the front axle

Wouldnt be enough of a benefit to move it forward, stiffer springs or bags is the only options really.

This would be true if the truck had a fixed pivot point between the front and rear axles but that would be a bracket attached to the road and would not really be practical (hard to move when your truck is bolted down). The actual pivot point when you use airbags is the front axle, there is minimal weight transfer by simply jacking the back up. You need to use weight distribution, but that is not possible on a gooseneck trailer. The other option would be move the hitch ball forward to shift weight from the rear axle to the front. It will make it look safer but will not actually make it safer.

Try weighing the front axle with bags deflated then inflated. I have been in trucking 35 years, 20 in maintenance management (supervising and managing truck repair shops), 10+ as a driver (trying to get axle weights right, which is what the purpose is here). I know whereof I speak.

I was going to say the same thing. If it were as simple as that I could double the capabilities of my wreckers by adding airbags...

:whs: You're right. Stiffer springs, airbags, etc., will only keep ya from blinding oncoming traffic. A fact a lot of people don't think/care about.:(
Weight doesn't move horizontally, it moves vertically, mean old Mr. Gravity.

He still has plenty of weight on his front tiress. A gooseneck wil transfer weight to both axles. I'd say he is still over 4,000 lbs on his front axle.

Weight doesn't move horizontally??? Ever hear of shifting the weight? I assume you have slid s fifth wheel before to move more weight to or from the front axle.

I think what chris was trying to say is with enough drive axle weight to the point it starts pushing the back of the truck down that far, it will start lifting the weight off of the steer tires. Raise the back of the truck up enough, it will counter that effect by requiring more downward force on the back of the truck to lighten up the front end. Same thing as leverage, or a see saw. Nobody said it would make the back lighter and the front heavier, or that they would double the carrying capacity of a truck.

Weight doesn't move horizontally??? Ever hear of shifting the weight? I assume you have slid s fifth wheel before to move more weight to or from the front axle.

Oh, just once or twice!!LOL I usually get it right the first try.;)

Let me see if I can explain myself better. When you slide the fifth wheel forward, I'll use that as example rather than the tandems, You ARE transferring more weight to the front axle. Slide it back, and you lessen the weight. You will still have the same amount of weight on the pin,[vertical], but you've moved the fulcrum rearward, so yes, you've moved the fulcrum horizontally, and the weight has shifted as well, but it's still a vertical force being applied. The only way to shift the weight on that pickup, is to move the pin forward/rearward, moving the hinge pointe, [fulcrum]. You've still got the same weight on the pin.
By putting airbags/more springs on, you are not shifting any weight. You're only lifting the load higher, reducing the nose up attitude of the truck. No weight has been moved anywhere.
I think we're both saying the same thing.
I think if weight could be shifted horizontally, we'd have a whole different set of scales!LOL

God, you are not listening to me! If you air up the air bags all the way, despite the axle weight staying the same, that weight is indeed moving!! If your pin was at 21", and you inflate the bags, your pin height is now...say, 24". Therefore the pin weight did move. 3 inches to be exact. Forget to brake, and $20.00 says it will move vertically! Don't argue with a driver, you will always be wrong ;)

Actually, and no offense to anybody if they own one. I cannot stand base stations. All of the ones I've ran across were jackasses, did nothing but talk #### and harass the driver etc. Cannot stand those guys.

We forgot the ramps. Rookie mistake .....

The guy operating the machine was good. He walked it off and eased the truck back down on the tires.

lol that hapens to my truck since we cut the load stabilizers off the goosneck.

I noticed after I quoted that there were forks on it and not a bucket. Made it much easier to control the speed of the trailer coming down. Gotta do what you gotta do.

I usually only tow my rhino with a smaller trailer but had to barrow this one to trailer two of them.http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr90/mwalker1978/2010-07-01190351-1.jpg
Only carried the rhino for this trip in my trailer. The two quads were on a flatbed. Needed more space for gear.

Its a Weekend Warrior LE3305 with one slide in cargo area. Truck and trailer weighed in at 23600#s with rhino and bikes in it for a trip to the desert.

Is that an RC 100? That's a heavy bastard. How much is that trailer rated for?

Not sure. I borrowed it from my father in law's construction company to unload pallets of mulch we bought for the church. they had it loaded on that trailer sitting in the yard when I went and picked it up. Others who saw that pic said the trailer wasnt heavy enough for the machine too....

I also found out my trailer brake controller didnt work while pulling that thing. Luckily I was on backroads pulling at low speed...

Had a 30' gooseneck do that to me when I loaded our 4320 JD with loader... Tractor probably weighed in close to 13-14k. It didn't help that the truck/trailer was pointed up hill either.. LOL

If you ever find the need to do that again try and find some blocks to put under the back of the trailer.... Your lucky the hitch didn't let loose

holy hell man!! i borrowed a buddies skid loader and towed it with a bronco and didnt come near doing that to it

Thats an old RC 100.

That ASV is probably 4000lbs heavier than any skid loader you hooked behind a bronco

No matter how ya cut it, both of ya are up there. Geez!!LOL

I like both of your trailers. Sometimes I wish I'd gone with a deckover instead of an equipment type trailer.

i went and measured it its 9'3" on the ground

i went and measured it its 9'3" on the ground

So you're right about 13' on the trailer?;)

That'd be funny as hell to get out at the fuel island and find a traffic light in the windshield.

Both M's I thought, they are not my tractors hauled them for a fella, had a heck of a time getting to them. Posted roads, but I didn't see any water running :lookaround: :lookaround: :lookaround: :lookaround:

He bought them at a estate sale, now plans to be haying with them by the end of the summer. Just a hobby for him though, not sure of the years of these tractors either.

Likely early '50's, '40's. Good old tractors. I just can't use my '41 A for anything but play, and parades. That thing deserves a rest, but a lot of guys still work them.;)

here is some small stuff i hauled around this weekend moving some farm equipemnt

and if your a john deer fan keep back in on monday for some new pics

A friend that a landscape with and I picked this up today. Its a one off custom built trailer my grandfather had made to haul hi '51 Jaguar race car. Its been sitting for about 5 years so we are going to fix it up, paint it, and use it as a mowing/mulch trailer. Best part is we got it for $200 :D

Nice caddie!

http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx112/TheJared966/SAM_0892.jpg[/QUOTE]

looks like it has house trialer axles under it, if so is it still legal to run were you live, it not really legal to run them here although every body does.

I don't have any pics but over the summer I tow 14 ton chopper boxes.

Towed this last week

This isn't me towing, but I thought y'all would get a kick out of the pics.

This is the house my father-in-law was born in. He donated it to the local historical society as the centerpiece for a historical village they're building.

Wow you guys literally went STRAIGHT there. You live near an Amish community?

Yes, Ohio is home to the world's largest Amish population, and Kiddron is heavily populated w/them. My father-in-law's farm is about 2-2.5 miles cross country from the heart of Kiddron.
Being from PA. your no strainger to them either. :pointlaugh:

Cool, I've been in your area a few times, nice country and people down there.;)

Got that right. Probably the most polite and respectful people I have ever met. Lancaster is always a great place to go because of them

If you're familiar with the area, maybe there are others too. If you guys think I should start a thread on the move of this and the construction of the village I could start a new one. They say it will take about 5 years to complete. Let me know what y'all think.

Ya, do it. I think it's interesting myself. There are quite a few Amish and Mennonite people up here. You won't find a nicer, harder working people anywhere. Anyone that willingly lives/works like they do get my respect. Oh man, don't get me going on the food.;)

I agreee John. I love history. Can never get enough of it, and if there pictures to boot it's perfect!

Old buildings are great, houses, barns, whatever. That's one reason I always liked being in New England, you guys have places pre 1776.;)

Please do the new thread. That would be great to see and read about.

wasnt very fun when we pulled up and I ripped the wires out of the plug and had no lights or brakes....and almost broke my rear window out. Needless to say, this was a one time thing.

You are lucky you didn't have one hell of a body shop bill trying to pull that with a short bed.
