My dad towed a dually that was decently stripped minus a 12v engine trans frame and suspension with a friends 03 chevy 2500 2wd 6.0 crew cab with our trailer while I followed in the second car we bought in the same sale but god when you go from 70mph in 5th with our 97 dodge 3500hd 12v 5 speed to a truck barely going 15 mph up hill im not sold on gas trucks to do anything but drive around look pretty in or go to lowes or home depot and get some plants.

I really dig what you're doing with your channel. The discussion of dollars and cents at the end is key because many, if not most, of your viewers are considering if they themselves can do it too and whether or not it's worth it. Also like that it isn't programmed with electro-pop crap music and fast-forward video through important details. Glad I signed on to your channel.

I'm 70 now so my truck days are over. Got rid of my crew cab 95 powerstroke with 5 speed and custom bed. I sold/traded at a lose cause I can't turn my head (broken neck) but that is ok cause dirt nap ain't far away... I hope' Pain everyday and miss working so bad. People who don't work got it made cause they have the state take care of them from guys like us who work. I wish there had been KZbin when I was even thirty years younger.
