Pulled out a stuck Dodge HD today

<TABLE width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>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 pickup 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!

That's a Ford 300 for ya!

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?

When you achieve what you have set out to do, you have done the right thing. No set rules, but less spin is always best. When you spin you can go down too, but sometimes you can't do it without a little spin.

My darned 300 sounds like a sick goose and runs like a three legged dislexic cat, but you can't deny the fact it's a pulling motor!

Nevermind the V8, I'm going to drop the V10 in. Whatcha think?

think it would have issues with room and it'd drink gas like there is no tomorrow.



I almost bought one for a grand, about ten years ago but the feedback isnt all that positive on it.
