This is my rig loaded up with 5 logs, the tranny dumped all the fluid on this pull but this was before the turbo. How much do you guys think it weighs?? 5 logs: 3 oak, 12 ft long 18" to 12" and 2 pine 20 ft, 15" to 12". The flat is 16 ft. and over built weighing 2,500. I was thinking the rig was about ranging from 8-10K (minus truck obviously). What do ya'll think??
6700 lbs
trailer:
2500 lbs
logs:
(white?) oak: 3022 lbs
(red?) pine: 1811 lbs
log total: 4833 lbs
combined weight:
14,033 lbs.
nice jag.
keep this handy snapon.

Having never owned an E4OD I wont rag on it, but have been disappointed numerous times by the supposedly superior C6. The ZF5 has been and continues to be everything I need in a transmission.

, driving me nuts; and without the turbo, I don't think I ever got into overdrive. I'm gonna have to take a pic of the hills around here and show ya'll cause they ain't no 10% grade or lower, I'm thinking of two that are at least over 20% but I'll post some pics one of these days. That makes me pretty happy about the E4OD's with 4:10's. Makes me feel better about towing a lot with it now
They just need a powerful engine ahead of them and they do just fine. My E4OD dumped the fluids 3 times before it finally blew, the fluid was like boiling and bubbling and foaming all over on the ground-not a pretty site especially in front of a bunch of chevy guys.

what a bummer.
something that would never of happened with an aftermarket trans cooler and temp gauge.
did you make sure the radiators cooler was free flowing? and that the pump in the trans was working,by just unhooking the line and starting the truck,you could see it pumping into a bucket real quick.

I don't know if it was working or not, I never checked. just took it to the shop and they put a new E4OD in - was a while ago looking back, I put just about 16K on the truck since the new tranny. And thats why I have a tranny temp gauge now. Now looking back, I would have done it myself or got a used tranny and had a shop put that in, oh well, you live and learn.

Partially loaded, still pulling logs from the site.
Arrived back at site, and some shameless product placement, of my recovery rope which I used to pull all the logs. (Not my biggest load, but it sagged a bit)
Not the same load, but a usual day.
