Safe to pull yet?

I have 750 miles on the new truck so far and need to pull a 2500 lb. trailer this weekend. Should I be concerned that the truck is not broke in enough yet?

thanks!

You know, I've been reading that quote in your sig and it is quite unique. Not sure what the point of him saying it was, but I like it nonetheless!

We were in the middle of one of those threads that devolved into "I know you are, but what am I?" type things...

Basically what I was saying is: Look at your own problems, and fix them before looking at everyone else and saying what's wrong with THEM.

It had to do with religion, conservatism/liberalism (both terms I despise because they have no meaning vis-a-vis current political views), automotive mechanics/dealerships, all sorts of things.

There was another one Big Orn took of mine, something that went like this:

Saying the fruit that hits the ground is dirty is completely ignoring the fact that there's bird poo on the fruit that's still in the tree.

Another weirdo reference, but basically that someone was saying "you're this, that, the other thing" while not realizing they were completely loathsome themselves. Something like "Hey, he fell on the ground, he's dirty" while not realizing that safely tucked in the tree, a bird had just crapped on him.

Back to the topic: 2500 lbs? Just don't go heavy-footin' it up to 80MPH

It's krewat's words of wisdom.

Wa-a-a-ay too deep to ponder the premise...

Rich - surely...surely you ain't thinking about going to the Islands and being Ken's sidekick?

Besides - there's way too many old ladies out there in muu-muus...you'd have to have a sidecar on your scooter with a cable-tie in case the wind got up under all that corruption...

Krewatism? Hmmm.... LOL!!

I like to quote an obscure quote from the movie Blue Thunder: "If you're walking on eggs, don't hop." That seems to hold true with a lot of people I work with for some reason...

Can't heavy-foot it to 80??? What about 75?

That's OK, but you might want to put one of those eggs under the go-pedal
