Ok, a slight change of plans-
I just found a gooseneck hitch that a guy is selling right around the corner from my house for $200. I going to go get it right after work and install it tonight. Now I can use my diesel 2500 with 3500 rear springs to haul it. Only issue now is getting a brake...
Ok, I need to consult with Brandon, it is his trailer after all, but here is my plan.
My boss has a 1992 Dodge D350 with a 360 gasser and gooseneck hitch. He used to pull large horse trailers and a boat with it all over the SE. He will let me borrow it. I want to put it on my car trailer, and...
Sleep? what is this sleep you speak of? you mean other people stop working for part of the day? that's just crazy talk...
I did get some cat naps in between blown tires and the like last night, and got an hour when I got to the house, and now we are done moving railcars, I might go sling a...
BigUgh and I are looking at going up to the trailer tomorrow or Wed, I'm going to find a shop in Knoxville, and put load range F tires on if I can find them ( I know they are availible in that size)
I'm working with my boss, he has an old dodge dually gasser with a gooseneck hitch, I'm going...
E,
those would be Brandon questions. It is an 8 lug pattern, that's all I know. The rims on it the center is bigger than it has to be, the tire shop had a couple of rims that would have worked, so we should have bought them and more times, but B was pretty sure it wouldn't work as the center was...
Ÿwe did get the truck back to Brandon's. I'm on the way home. Its looking like his truck is down for a bit and I don't have a dually or a gooseneck hitcH. Not sure what our next move will be but we can't leave it where it is.
What Brandon is thinking is we find a member with a wrecker close, fix the one tire, pick the wrecker bed off the gooseneck and put it on either his lowboy or my 270. Since we haven't blown the same tire location twice, my money is on crappy tires failing. I want to just buy 3 more, to replace...
Ok thanks TY.
The biggest thing is getting it somewhere safe. Don't want to go out there and the whole thing is gone.
I wish I hadn't have screwed up my m915, or we had brought Brandon's M52 and lowboy. We can't believe this newer equipment is causing us so much grief. We would be done by now...
Its striped of easy to steal items. It is on the west side of knoxville, mile 385. Might have to sit there all week.
If there are any members in the knoxville are, please keep an eye on it if you can.
Hey Ty,
I should have called. Didn't think about it.
The wieght shouldn't be an issue, we wieghed it and the bed is only 10k, so the trailer should be fine with 14k of capacity. We are thinking that it is the fact they are cheap chinese year old tires that finally saw some highway time under...
Ok we found a tire shop with some in stock. $485!!!!
Called around somemore, found a guy who will meet us at his shop, $150 for the emergency call, and $135 a tire!
On the way there now.
Thanks Eric for the list!
Broke down in TN side of i-40. Need 235/85r16 load range E or better. We already blew the a tire and used the spare earlier. Brandons dodge is making oil as well. Anyone nearby can help please call me 803-467-1220
Well, the M814 part is true anyways...
Talk with Mike about the rally, we could put you in the driver seat for the trip down, or at least copilot. Between all the trucks going from SC.
