Pulled out a stuck Dodge HD today
So I was bee-bopping along in my golf cart at work when I came upon FRI's crew; hired landscapers. They were jumping up and down on the tailgate of an ex-cab long bed Dodge HD Cummins. The truck was stuck in the mud! Anyway, I pulled my Mini-Rig around and hooked up the tow strap.Scared of getting stuck myself, I tried not to spin the tires much. I did let the tires turn slowly to try and get a bite. Anyway, out came the big Dodge. I was grinning like a fool. 
I just wanted to share this with you all! So far I've pulled out a stuck Super Duty attached to a camper trailer and a Heavy Duty Dodge.
That's a Ford for ya!
Edit: By the way, did I do the right thing by letting my tires spin slowly? Or should I have kept them from spinning all together? Or are you supposed to fluxuate?

Sorry, bad grammar on my part. I meant I pulled it out with my truck.
It would be cool if an E-Z-Go Golf Cart could pull that hard though.

Is your truck four wheel drive? You mentioned snow.
By the way, I'm not saying the reason I pulled out the Dodge was because of my 300. It's the combination of things, I know. It's all in how the vehicle is built. =)

Good show, always nice to yank out another brand!
By the way rockin300, I have a hard time believing a 300 6 would outpull a hemi, the guy driving the hemi would have had to not know a damn thing about yanking someone out of the snow.

Its not all in the motor. Tires are a big thing, I have hooked onto things with my old truck that was a straight six that my new truck (see sig) won't touch. Its all in the power to weight ratio and of course tires. (even though the ones that were on the straight six are now on the new one.)

The Va state police stopped us from doing this some years back. I guess we were cutting in on tow truck business.

Yeah for sure, I guess I should have added, "or had bald tires" haha.

Back in the day, I would cruise the interstate here in Va after a snow storm and ****** the "unfortunates" from the ditch or embankment. I never charged any money becuase it made me feel good, but I turned a pretty good profit from the victims offerings.

A lot of people don't have the money to pay a wrecker for thier wintery misfortunes, I considered myself a humanitarian.
What's a hard core 4 wheeler to do? Find a mud hole, or a power line, or an open field, or a construction site.
