How many of you accept adequate with your camping gear or get by on just good enough. Thats what yer doin with a gasser pulling over 8,000lbs. It will NOT pull as good as a diesel. It WILL NOT last as long. It will have premature wear. It WONT be worth as much with 150K miles.
My 1994 Cummins 12 valve has 324k carefree miles and will out pull any gasser off the assembly line in 3/4 or 1 ton.
If anyone thinks 45mph on the interstate is safe they are jaded.
I have seen some absurd things on this forum, but this one ranks way up there. Anyone that states that old doge will out snort any gasser off the now a days assy line is not in touch with reality - that is unless he has a modern motor in the dodge.
I tow 11.5K with one of those puny ford 6.2 gassers. I run 65 on the interstate. On the long grade going north on I 26 In NC you will catch me grinding up that one at 50 mph.
