Dodge With Gooseneck Attempts To Haul 20k+ D6

[dannyknapp]

u need to block the back of the trailer to keep the ramps from kicking out. not sure what kind of weight this trailer/truck is licensed for. might be alright, but if the blade is wider than 8'6" then you need oversized permits or you need to remove the blade.

[rev800g]

I have a similar set up and regularly haul a 24k# Lull. At least until DMV catches up with me. Make sure the trailer brakes are good the truck won't stop crap without them.

[gdogdieseldually]

@rev800g how does it tow it?

[Ranger0024]

Push some dirt and make a small pile to back it up simple as that take five min

[rtmike70]

If you would have taken those ramps completely off you could have backed it on.

[MyBullDogMack]

Good point, the ditch along the drive would have given enough height if the truck had pulled off the drive. But than one runs the risk of getting stuck, -- off load dozer and pull it out. They only needed oak planks put over the ramps to hold them down & give a bit more height. U said it "idiots" with noo smarts. Wrong equipment "period" even though engine has the power. Cheers

[haxila]

That cummins can easily pull it. But if they had dozer operator with half a brain he would have ether loaded from the ditch or made a pile with dirt for ramps... Idiots

[MyBullDogMack]

Wrong trailer-wrong truck-wrong for them to even have tried it. Should have been a tri-axle-should have been at least an F-550 Ford like I use. I like Dodges but they don't make one heavy duty enough to pull safely a load as such. They were probably just moving it a short distance other wise it would not have been at night time.

[madtownmadman]

@MyBullDogMack They've made 4500 and 5500 models for a while now.

[mustangman02232]

im sure the truck would have no problem pulling it, I would rather see a panic stop from 60 mph or the truck go across the scales

[01161996bubba]

back the trailer to the hill and load on the hill so it will be less of an incline and the truck would have handled it well

[5cylcoupe]

dang I would have loved to see that truck pull that thing. Not saying it cant but I love seeing those things pull heavy shit down the road

[mcconnell51]

My old ford (88 F450 7.3 idi) regularly pulled that kind of weight almost daily some days in excess. The ol girl had over 2 million k on it but it did the job. It sure didn't like hills tho but for 2000 bucks, it made its money back tenfold with very few problems. Mostly replacing tires, and 1 u joint and a starter.

[titfucker1990]

ewww youtube advertisement before this vid was on a ford fiesta and i could not skip it

gross lol

[GusCowMiller]

If you could get the proper trailer, that truck would pull that D6 easy, it's just not legally rated to do so.

[ONEAL367011]

what state you in looks like your out in the middle of no where lol

[14x4nut]

This doesn't concern loading the dozer but did anyone notice that the ball was to far back?

It was behind the axle.

[commando7144]

never stand on the side!

[Theruler1997]

dodge ftw

[GCFarmboy]

whoever was loadin the dozer on that trailer is a complete idiot when they was backing on if they would wiggle the blade back and forth while reversing it will load just fine done it hundreds of times we have hauled heavier loads on our dodge 3500 cummins single axle 4x4

[freddythestandard]

@GCFarmboy seconded my friend,

[mcconnell51]

@GCFarmboy or put blocks under the back of the trailer so that the ramps won't flip up as high and get caught on the blade

[monsterkershaw]

give that poor old bitch some throttle...haha...she would load front if you took a block and placed it in front so the blade wouldnt hit...

[mudthrower007]

If he would have left the trailer off the driveway so it would have been at a lower level than the d6 the ramps wouldn't have been at such a steep angle and he could have loaded it right up with no problems.

[84416fones]

pos

[lj2729]

the 1 ton trucks are made to pull this much weight

[firefly308]

Dmv would love this,,,

[MrRagingbull83]

Well thats a waste of my time thought id see it pull it guess not with a goose and that sized trailer 340 hp should walk away with that d6

[2066241]

tail lights out

[dtcohen66]

To anyone that thinks that the dodge would have "pulled it easy" if they would have gotten it on the trailer, you are wrong. I love cummins diesel's just as much as anybody, and I don't doubt that it would have had the power to pull the weight, but getting the load moving is only a quarter of the job. A one ton truck is simply NOT designed to haul that much. Not only would they have put themselves in danger by hauling that, they would have been putting everyone on the road in danger.

[ObiJuan4628]

The truck and trailer would have handled the load easily if they had gotten it on there. I pulled 20k all the time with my Dodge 2500. GVW on a 3500 is 26k, i think, and you know it will pull way more than that.

[benb1102]

Put blocks under the back end of the trailer and the ramps would have stayed down and you would have been on your way.

[kdw75]

That shouldn't be a problem. My cousin and I both have pulled 30,000 lbs. behind our 3/4 ton Dodges many times. The hardest part is getting traction on hills.

[5782Simp]

Wood blocks can be your best friend with tracked vehicles. That D6 isn't to much weight for the truck to tow at all. I have grossed 46,700lbs with my 1985 F-250 4x4 with a 6.9 NA diesel and a 4spd. If that dodge cant handle a measly 20k plus 8k trailer it needs to go home.

[MrIzzy1516]

u must not kno dodge power lol, it will get u anywhere

[whatihave2do]

Left brake light is out on the truck.

[fsxking08]

whoever was driving obviously knows how to tow! look at that turn at 1:10

[msgmonly]

@fsxking08 ohh yea, cause its so hard to turn a steerig wheel...

[fsxking08]

@msgmonly i was just saying because not many people can turn with a long trailer like that THAT sharp, i cant because ive only been towing a 25 ft travel trailer for 2 years, i was just saying

[FLY172M]

I have a 2008 Ford F450 crew cab, Lariet, with a custom 9 foot flat bed. I pulled a Cat 938 wheel loader (35,000lbs) on a 38 foot triple axle duel wheel goose neck. Good ol' PowerStroke Diesel.

[MrRobertbf]

we recently went to Colorado we have a 2010 dodge 3500 we towed over 30,000

[dodgeboyize]

that trucks a beast if you got a better trailor that is meant for more weight and a better ramp setup the cummins would do it I got me a d250 dually and I pulled a 1086 and a 1999 F259 on the trailor behind the 1086 and it pulled it with hardly any problems you woulda thought there was only a small load on problem was backing up a incline had to put in 4wd but then it did fine

[pavit70]

Its a good thing you didnt get on the road, you would have busted the oil seals on the axels , I have the same set up and I was pushing it hauling a D-4.

[dieselfanaticIN]

It SOOO would have hauled if it weren't for those ramps. And I would have loved to see that cummins haul it away. Dang :/

[pcdcole]

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 and I hauled a 17,100 pound John deer Loader on mine the total weight truck and all was about 26,100 pounds. And mine pulled it down the road like a champion the hard part was stopping it. But mine did great and the truck runs great to this day...........

[lilwildboy]

@pcdcole then if you had problems stopping then it wasnt safe!!!!This is why D.O.T sets legal safety standards..Just imagine someone was hauling overloaded in a pickup,couldn't stop and killed your family "NOT KOOL"...I run 3 car wedge trailers and i wont let my guys put no more than 4 PASSENGER cars on them (DODGE 5500 DIESELS w/ exhaust brakes+tri axle trlrs (3 sets of brakes)+load=25-27k aprox) small trucks pullin alot of weight isnt cool its dangerous..2500 nah 3500 dually yeah cuz i have

[pcdcole]

@lilwildboy Well I'm from the south and I live in a very small town and when the clutch goes out on your business you do what you have to do. I said the hard part was stopping. It aint going to stop on a dime to start with... So you make extra precautions to drive slower and watch your surroundings and begin braking ahead of time. I also never said this was an everyday thing that was a one time thing. Also we too as many back roads as possible to avoid as many people as possible. gotta feed kids

[lilwildboy]

@pcdcole i feel ya man trust i know what you mean i wasnt being a douche i was just stating my opinion thats what we're on here for.i been a business owner for 6 years now i know EXACTLY whatchu mean by gotta feed those dam lips and boy it takes a salary to feed kids today......You be careful driver.I'M OUT "LATER"!!!!!!!

[lilwildboy]

I bet D.O.T would've had a field day if that thing went down the highway!!!!!There is no way in HELL could he have loaded that dozer without put'n EVERY axle over weight.If that were a LONG spread axle MAYBE..That dozer weighs aprox 23,500 the gvw of that trailer is 21000 YOUR OVER WEIGHT ALREADY!!!!GCWR is probably 32,500 (TARE WEIGHT IS PROB 13K)Think about safety and not the dollar...Just the GCW would be over by 4k and the axles "SHIIIIIIT" i wouldnt even wanna guess.THINK SMART DRIVER!!!!!

[stradplayer90]

i like the trailer

[markat425]

All they needed to do was put some blocks under the back edge of the trailer while doing the loading. I just hauled a 19,000# truck from Florida to Indiana with an almost identical set-up. I had no problems pulling it or stopping,, even going over Mount Eagle...

[Flyboy207]

so the real problem was the trailer, not the truck.

[dnomyar0]

This truck sounds beautiful!

Is it an auto or manual?

What sort of exhaust setup? 

[DieselPowerTV]

@dnomyar0 This is the first time I have seen this truck. When the truck drove away it sounded like an automatic. The exhaust setup had to be a modified stock straight pipe.

[dnomyar0]

@DieselPowerTV

Thanks a bunch, this confirms that I need a straight pipe :)

[yamahonkawazuki]

@DieselPowerTV wished i coulda heard it drive off. but as others have said. dangerous to overload. that aisde. a block of somesort. hell even a couple logs lol would have kept that trailer from doing what it did.

[kwaky2005]

@DieselPowerTV looking at it, that looked more like the trailer just wasn't compatible with that tractor more than that cummins couldn't move the load...notice how people always say cummins and not dodge? HAHA

[Travisob91]

@DieselPowerTV should have put the backwheels of the trucks on blocks.. or on a higher surface..

[umlax45]

@dnomyar0 definitely an auto, it would be revving much higher in reverse if it were a manual

[cole909cole]

first 25 seconds are beautiful diesel dually ram rolling in with a goose neck all lit up with little crickets in the background perfect!

[evhgl87]

could have just put some blocks of wood before the ramps for the dozer to nose up onto. seen a few dozer's load onto trailers before without any ramps using railroad ties lol

[xNazzeMANx]

where is the hauling?

[DieselPowerTV]

@xNazzeMANx They couldn't get the dozer loaded on the trailer. So they went back home with no load.

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

That Dodge could have easily hauled that 20K lb. dozer. Its over the Dodges GCWR, but thats determined by Chrysleres lawyers more than there engineers. Its not the idea rig for that job, but it could have done it no problem. Especially if it had a manual with a good clutch. The manuals low gears are great for heavy hauling. I would be worried about the brake system though. If it was a short haul through non-crowded roads I would have done it no problem.

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

@Xx69roadrunnerxX The 5.9L Cummins would have no problem lugging around 20,000lbs. Remeber its a true medium grade commercial/industrial diesel engine (unlike Duramaxs and Powerstroke which are light duty diesels). The 5.9L B-series Cummins is rated to be used in vehicles with GWR of 66,000lbs!!

[thestuffz]

2.2 lbs in a KG for you guys.

[talfacprez]

What a laugh A Dodge hauling a Dozer. Dodge didn't even qualify for the annual load test in Colorado, so it was between Ford and Chevy the last few years...(Chevy on again BTW).

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

@talfacprez Spoken like a fool who only reads Diesel Power mag likes its all fact and has no first hand experience with these trucks or engines... towing isnt about speed. A Dodge Cummins will out tow a Ford or GM everytime. Let me say it again, towing IS NOT about speed.

Get some new opinions...yours fucking suck! :)

[talfacprez]

@Xx69roadrunnerxX Spoken buy a guy who follows all the trade magazines and follows all of the consumer research. Spoken buy a guy who picks up Doge after Dodge truck with the ball joints about to drop front wheels from their crappy suspensions.

[nuclearthreat545]

Nice try.......lol

[mog5858]

if they jack up the frount it would have gone on frount ways but i don't know how much the jack where good for i think it was best that they got a bettter rig that was better for the job.

[69rd96]

Someone has to be in the truck and reverse the truck as the dozer rolls up, keeps the ramps from popping up like that.

[bawchicawawa2222]

haha i hope my dad don't see this vid he might get ideas for our dodge and gooseneck

[jonbar87]

Can't wait to see the other half of this video once it gets loaded!

[djverhulst]

How much is the weight of that doser ?

the Dodge have power enough I saw them pull a 40 t truck out a cargo pit, but the brakes and that gooseneck isn't design for that weight I think.

nice vid

[FFWilliam1]

@djverhulst I was thinkin the same thing they have goosenecks that have air brakes i think if your goin to carry something that the weight more then 20 tons u would need a exhaust brake

[DieselPowerTV]

@djverhulst The dozer is a little over 20,000 pounds.

[djverhulst]

@DieselPowerTV how much is that in kilo's ?? I know only the meteric system well

[MacBoznyII]

@DieselPowerTV My friend moved my uncle to TN from FL and that trailer was pushing 40k. It can handle the weight

[dieselpower4ever]

haha, oooooops at the ending there. But don't worry that Cummins will pull that load E-Z :)

[acooguy456]

first yaaaaaaaa chooch it
