dodge diesel pulling 16k trailer up a hill

A video of my truck pulling a 16000 pound trailer up a hill outside of dulce, new mexico. The boost gauge was hitting 34 pounds with the stock turbo and the quadzilla chip on the second setting.

whats the grade on that hill, i dont even think that shit qualifies as a hill.

[jesjohnsoncummins]

@superpwn2000 well its hard to tell in the video but its a 10% grade and about a mile long.

you have lost your mind if u think that trailer weighs 16000.... maybe 2500 or 3000. give us a break son!

[jesjohnsoncummins]

@mikespeed100 If you would read the comments you could see that its a 28ft trailer hauling gravel and it was weighed at 15550 lbs on the scales.

According to Fords new Superduty website a Dodge diesel cant pull a trailer up a hill. haha.

@bobwaters420 well actaully its a pretty heavy built 26 ft horse trailer and it is loaded about four feet deep with gravel i dont know if you have ever hauled gravel but its really heavy, i weghed the truck and trailer on DOT scales before loaiding and it came out to 14500 after loading it was right at 30000 so the trailer is not quite 16k, so its 15500 sorry.

@superpwn2000 Look at when he points out the side window. See how all the trees are leaning forward? trees dont naturally grow that way.... lol.

what is exhaust temperature? can't see nubers clear enough, i think i saw a gauge for that :-)

@MrNelsonb2 well ya i get what your sayn' i agree also, i just was sayn' the ecoboost can pull big big weight which is awesome for the engine that it is, It does pull as much weight as the diesel engines though....I know that because I work on them, but i do get what your sayn a diesel engine does last a LONG time, and is naturaly stronger, cuz well lets face it thats what diesles were built to do

[twistedLs1]

what other mods besides the quadzilla?

[MrNelsonb2]

@tyeson85 the ecoboost would also eat twice the amount of fuel and wouldnt last even half as long even if that engine was in a 3/4 ton or larger truck that v6 is an awsome engine but cant compare to a diesel when hauling something
