Dodge tow starting D8 CAT

[gmellis]

good thing the blade's up on the D8

[geneshepherdsr]

yes it a 1997, 12 valve 180 hp  with slight attitude adjustment.

[kwaky2005]

@geneshepherdsr 180hp LOL uh huh out of 3 cylinders maybe the way i'd bet it's turned. no black smoke though but i'd still say not a pinch less than 550 ft lbs of torque and probably a hell ton more

[ethansackman]

is that a 1997?

[dunn98632]

Kinda sexy I have to say but in a truck pulling a D8 CAT type way thats all .

[devio123]

smallest d8 i have ever seen

[Cyberdreg]

Now thats impressive.

[traxcavator50]

i hate dodge and thats still impressive

[thendricks0310]

Thats not a D8

[devendati]

Thumbs up if you love every chance you get to hook up the chain and put your Diesel to the test, especially when you get to film it and put it on YouTube!

[TheTrihorn1]

exhaust out of the cat looks pretty cool

[matthewwarr]

RUN

[Dirtryder565]

Yeah thats pretty impressive I would have never thought any truck could do that

[jasongrim]

bbbbbbbbbeast!

[uncleporky1]

@jasongrim Do you have a stutter 

[uncleporky1]

@jasongrim Do you have a stutter?

[jasongrim]

@uncleporky1 you sound like a major douche.

[arnoldt14]

finally someone who does something other than burnouts

burnouts: not impressive, something a minivan could do

tow starting a 44000 lb engine: very impressive, I'd like to see a ford or chevy try that!

[JOKERDIESELS]

only a cummins will do that i have a 98.5

[SteamCrane]

That would have made a pretty good Dodge commercial!

[matteyk87]

no way thats a B8 maybe a D2 since a D1 is a shovel or maybe that d8 was made in 1940 thats why its was called a D8 back in the day lol and thats not impressive lol

[2500mike]

wow. nice

[abikerinpa]

nice truck !

[BattyBitz]

well done!

[MrNickyGoth]

there is no sustetute for a diesel engine

[behindeverybush1]

Impressive!

[JUNOGUY]

I guess the 6bt going in my jeep should be pretty handy after seeing this. Nice truck

[MMdiesels]

Done that with a cat skidder but not a cummins.

[TheDirtRoadScholars]

nice truck man, love them good ole dodge 12v's, haha yer a pretty big dude to be runnin like that thugh haha, then agian id never say that toy our face haha

[iCummins03]

NICE truck!

[cumminsVScompetition]

this is why i drive, encourage and live by 12 valve cummins...simply THE SINGLE BEST motor ever made

[countrydude03]

44,000 lbs, what about a 100,000 Cat, can it pull that?

[scoob316]

man try that shit in a landrover and your gonna snap a half shaft!

[billglenn10]

That was awesome!

It’s going to be hard for anybody else to top that one.

I'm surprised you didn’t break the chain (LOL).

I'll bet the driver was thinking to himself as he walked back to the camera

PS you would like my channel

[prmbalero]

COMO LO HARÁ ESE HOMBRE CUANDO NO TENGA LA CAMIONETA XD

[carolinarednek]

That's AWESOME!! Never see a Ford do that!

[cumminsdiesellover01]

buddy that proves fords can just suck cummins balls all day long man id like to see a POS powerstroke do that motor would probably blow ur truck just pulled about 3 or 5 times its recomended towing capacity

[cameronblair6]

A D8 Cat huh? I don't know about that one and if it is, the D8's nowadays is about twice that 44 000lbs mark. Still impressive, rollers and idlers in the cat must have been spinning nicely.

[NathansBackwoods]

@cameronblair6, Old D8s are bout the size of a new D6, id rather have an old one though.

[caniwitech]

I love this video! Great sound, great quality, no idiots screaming or hollering profanity, and no one swings the camers away right when the action starts. Great video!

[DearbornsItalian]

lol sickest jump start ive ever seen

[ironflyer]

Can't beat a Cummins in a pick-up.

[declawedCat06]

Nice truck, I love a 4wd one ton dually. Diesel power of course.

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

Cummins power man!! Great truck, motor, and dozer!

Nice vid!

[EMDSD90]

that funny if u can pull start that guess u can pull start a automatic car as well!? o get a real d8

[MPLSTORM]

Dodge trucks=towing kings

[530dresser]

that is a d8 and the weight around 44,000. a newer 8 such as a L or N series should be around 80,000. as the machines get newer the horsepower and weight increase. as for tow starting it ive done it with a michigan loader with a 50 hp 6 cylinder gas engine so weather it a dodge, ford, or chevy it doesnt realy matter.

[thefarminkid8760]

if thats a d8 that thing weighs 80,000 pounds not 44,000

[METALMULISHACO]

Cummins by far most reliable depenable good truck but a powerstoke or chevy could have also pulled it

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

@METALMULISHACO Well said my friend!

[geneshepherdsr]

the pony engine ie. starter wasn't running

hence tow starting

[MultiVenividivici]

????? :-)

[streamline75]

I was able to pull one with my 1996 RAM 5.9L 360CI

[leonpat2002]

Would yee all not think it's down to the transmission??? Make much more sence to me.

[edgecrushers]

i'd say it's 75% traction, 25% torque/transmision. you could have the most powerful truck on the planet pulling it, but if it has no grip what good is it... cool video though, pretty impressive

[danieladamdelarosa]

Gotta love it!

[AGDemo]

The d8's pull pretty eassy I pulled one all around with my 3500!

[dieselfreak93]

cummins all the way !

[THEuncleshank]

too bad the cummins had nothing to do with it, a powerstroke or durashit could do the same thing

[dieselfreak93]

Hmmmm........Well first I didnt make stament saying the powerstroke or DURAMAX couldnt do it , I dont see a ford or chevy in the video do you ? The only thing I said was "cummins power" .

[dodgetrucks3500]

thats a good lookin truck

[Nza420]

nice!

[stealthbomberjacket]

wow that is one powerful dodge to pull

that dozer 8

[kwaky2005]

I love dodge and I love cummins..

That was impressive

[jonbar87]

@kwaky2005 cummins yes, dodge no. Dodges are junk. the only think they have going for them are dana axles and cummins engines.

[UncleBubbles94]

@jonbar87 Dodge no longer runs Dana axles

[jonbar87]

@UncleBubbles94 when did they quit that? What axles do they use now?

[UncleBubbles94]

@jonbar87 They quit when they went to the common rail Cummins, In 03. They use some off ball brand of axles from china (more than likely).

[jonbar87]

@UncleBubbles94 just checked into it...they us AAM axles, which are supposedly just as good, if not better than Dana axles..

[kwaky2005]

@jonbar87 Hey I know most people hate on dodge because for some damn reason they can't find anyone to design a decent interior and to hell if they can get a front end right but.. when I love a car, it's for the heart of the vehicle and that's the motor. You might have a point though haha

[NathansBackwoods]

Wow im speachles, two thumbs up. that was cool.

[jrfirefighter92]

nice dually

[liapaman]

That's Incredible!! I remember seeing a powerstroke pull a cummins attached to a D8 once.

[DieselMX34]

haha keep dreaming

[hpsteamjeff]

Wow you made that look easy.
