CAN THE 6 SPEED CUMMINS HANDLE THE FULLY LOADED RACE TRAILER!?!?!

Steven Kaesbauer I have them on my dodge and I can't stand them personally. I think they work ten times better folded down when towing they are still plenty long enough folded down even with a camper I have a few friends who agree. I know the newer ones you can adjust better but I swear people just flip them for looks because you cant see and the don't seem to adjust right when up

Agreed as well. Have a camper on the back of my cummins and with the mirrors folded down I can see a lot more of the lane

Didnt you say you have the air bag lines connected to each other. Then to a single line out on this truck? If you still have that, when you take turns it pushes air out of one bag and into the other. That's probably what you're feeling.

[@bouchee2007]

its more likely the flex in the sidewall of the tires hes feeling. which is why people were suggesting a dually.

[@COALEDasICE]

@@bouchee2007 if you have bags set up this way it's a fact that's what happens. And he stated a while back when he put bags on another truck that's how it was setup.

[@bouchee2007]

i am fully aware it can happen, i run bag on my truck as well. what i am refering to is the fact you have that much weight on the tires, combined with wind shear, the sidewalls tend to flex side to side, lower profile tires dont feel it as much but its still there. the comment to use a dually is to mitigate this issue.

*edit* commented before watching

[@jaredanthony8070]

Also commenting before watching but if the 08 stick with less power can tow it (it made it to the scales for the thumbnail at least) the 05 should be able to do the same just shorter wheelbase making it tow less well

Of course it can pull it but how well does that fuel and air combo tow, lag and smoke wise

Hi Greg. I have a 04 with the HO 6 speed. I have a enclosed trailer that weighs 5k empty. When I’m in 1st or reverse taking off slowly or backing in a tough area I get a choppy hop in the clutch the whole truck will shake if I’m kinda mid clutch. If I let the clutch out all the way or push it in it will stop. I’ve had the truck for a couple years. Could this be a flywheel issue where it has hot spots? Or is this normal?

Isnt that illegal and considered over weight, I thought the highest you could register a pickup truck was class 3. And you're over 26,000lbs so you require a CDL.... Maybe Im wrong but i see like $1200 in tickets here, I think you should re edit this video

[@Mr.TBirdy]

Bob ShitDickSam I know you said this a year ago. But no one wanted to tell you so I will. The vehicle has to be 26,000 Lbs to have a CDL. And the combined weight doesn’t matter which is what he was showing.

I figured it would do well performance wise, cause I know you like to keep them running top notch lol, but stability wise was gonna be the biggest thing, and stopping wise. It did surprisingly well for a single rear wheel truck for that kinda weight. Usually for that gross weight a dually is about the only way lol.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail for this video, short sidewall tires like that usually don't have a very high load rating. Could lead to a blowout on a hot day when driving at speed on the highway, that would be no fun. Check out the sidewall deformation at 1:30 . That does NOT look good. Interesting, at 10:10 it looks much better. I wonder if he aired up the tires or if it was just driveway angle making it look worse at 1:30.
