Okay first off the truck has 108,000 on the clock and doing very very well
I took a trip to KY. to pick up an engine for my other truck, now take in mind i usually haul small things tires, wood, etc... this time i was loaded down very good.
Items are as follows:
>> half of a army engine container 800lbs.
LDT-465-1C(turbo engine) coming in at 1650lbs bolted in container.
9.00x 20 tires 80-100 lbs for both.
20 gallons of extra diesel.
one spare tire for the dodge
one bottom to air shock seat(all metal) at least 70lbs.
Take in mind this was all in the bed, up in the cab somewhere between 450-500lbs that including my friend as he went with me.
Route 24 to I-40 over to I-81 and home, avg. speed 70mph, the truck rode like a dream with the weight.
So for anyone with a calculator did i push the limits of the dodge and even with 410's in the rear i only stopped for fuel 3 times once going up to top off and 2 times coming back, would have been only once coming back but thanks to prepay pumps, what a crock!!!!! i took a $20 in and was out of there, Nashville is a busy place on a saturday evening
was i over loaded?
