Not any more.
Good deal Brent Congrats!
What would I need to do to my truck to be able to pull a 2001 F350 SRW crew cab 4x4 V10 all over the place if I hooked the trucks hitch to hitch? I've got a wager with a co-worker who swears by his V10 so of course I break his ***** about it all the time.
Sorry for being on-topic in the off-topic thread BTW.
A heavy duty chain!!

I was trying to think of what I could use for ballast.
Yes they're both autos. Well. I'm pretty sure his is an auto trans. I know mine is.
I figure I'll drop my truck into 4 low and put it in 1st gear.
I figure a 5/8" grade 80 transport chain ought to hold up to something like that.
Hopefully I'll have time to get a 4" exhaust and 6637 into my truck. I think that'd help pretty significantly. Having a DP would be the ultimate, but I dunno if I'll be able to convince my parents I need one by then.
I've got to convince them because I have no CC and theres no DP dealerships so I can't use cash.
Edit: I may have figured out a way around that. Maybe I could snail mail cash to Jim who could order a DP with tunes of my choice and have it shipped to me where I intercept it at the door. Just a thought...

A good 3/8" chain will hold,I had two 4x4s and two 2x4s hooked behind me and the 3/8 held

I definitely want to open my exhaust/intake up before I try to tug this guy's truck around.
He's crafty.
He's got a Ranger that's got a 6" body lift just so that it will fit the engine under the hood. He says it gets 5mpgs. Of course I broke his ***** about how that was no worse than what his V10 gets. I forget what kind of engine he said it was though.
He asked me if I wanted to try to pull his Ranger instead of his V10. He forgot he already told me about the Ranger. Heh...

His V10 is stock ride height. His Ranger's ride height is about the same ride height as my PowerStroke. I've got a pretty large assortment of hitches available to me because of dad's business so I don't think it will be a big issue.

On the note of money orders: I went to the bank on Saturday with dad to get a cashiers check for 950$ because I needed a 5% bid security thing or some such nonsense.
I went there with 950$ cash in hand. I tried to get a cashiers check. Sorry only money orders below 1k. Alrighty. Can I have a money order? Sorry you have to deposit the money first and then withdraw it as a money order. Ok. The tension level is just rising with every answer here. So we deposit the money. 950$ cash plus the 5$ fee for the money order. Then she says "Oh it doesn't come up as accessible funds." Ratchet that stress level up one more notch. So then I tell em to just give me my cash back so I can go to Stop&Shop to get a Western Union money order. Then she needs to call her manager to see if she's allowed to give me my @#%#$ CASH back to me. Crossed the street and went to Stop&Shop. They had to give me 2 money orders instead of one since they are capped at 500$. It cost me 2$ and NO frustration to have STOP&SHOP do what the bank could not do for 5$.
Pretty pathetic on the bank's part IMO.
