Robert, I hate to pee in your wheaties, pal, but I am not really all that impressed. -popcorn
A.
YUCK
You have 4.30 gears, I would expect you to have been even further ahead of him if you were pushing your truck as hard as you say you were... He only had 3.73's in his truck.
A. Me no push, she wasnt even groaning
I know it feels good to beat someone up a hill, but when you have the advantages over your competitor that you had, it sort of detracts from the victory, don't you think?
Kind of like my buddy braggin that he beat me in a drag race when he was riding his R1 and I am on my quad...
A. when you get to be my age, I take victories no matter how one sided
Also, what makes you think he was pushing as hard as you were? I mean, you're old
roflmao ) and rich
roflmao) and can afford to break your truck.
A. He was OLD , well at least My age He may have been young like me and baby his truck
roflmao ) because he cannot afford to repair it if it breaks!
A. yes I heard Chebies are $$ to fix when beatin by FORDS, , something to do with a broken heart.....BEAT
Okay, I'm done being a sarcastic dufus.
I drove a Chevy 6-liter gasser 3/4 ton the other day, pulling a gooseneck at about 18K gross (maybe a little more, just guessing) up the Lewiston Grade out of (you guessed it!) Lewiston, Idaho. Top speed on the grade??? 35 MPH. Not bad for a gasser, i guess, but I pulled the same grade with my PSD with a bigger load and kept 60 MPH at 3/4 throttle without working it at all. If I'd have worked it over, I probably could have squeezed 75 out of it in no time. I have decided that I, like you, love having enough truck to do the job easily, and I, like you, get a feeling of sincere satisfaction when I pass guys like they are standing still when my load is bigger than theirs.
