Periodically, a neighbor of mine needs to borrow my truck to tow/move a construction waste grinding machine (10,000# w/ pintle hitch) when one of his trucks goes down, or he gets it into a muddy spot.
His 6.0 PowerStroke F350 4x4 auto with a dump bed is presently in dry dock with a broken rear axle--prolly from being repeatedly severely overloaded.
My truck, even with the 3.55 gears seems to pull his machine (mounted on a twin axle trailer) without much effort (low range when in loose stuff, or on a hill). My truck is in really nice shape, having been babied its whole life, and I'd like to keep it that way. My clutch is in good shape, as is my drive train.
Would any of you hesitate to tie onto 10,000# with my rig??
Thanks.
