So i picked up my trick, and as i was driving back, no more than an hour later, i get a call, saying, "hey, my friends car broke down! come tow it home!"

so i go home and grab the tow straps, and pull down there.

Hes in this TINY jam packed parking lot in downtown, so i manage to back the crew cab long bed up to his car and hook up... there was no good spot on his car, so i hooked up to the steeing stabilizer bar :eek: but it held.

i tell him to ride the brakes lightly, blah blah blah. and we set off.

I slowly let the slack out, and started off really slowly, blocking the small streets and going 15 in a 25 :D

Do eventually, we get to his house, and everythings going fine, till we stop. then we see he took my "ride the brakes" a little too well and his brakes were rosting.

smoking and cracking, blah, it was bad.

but eventually we pushed it into his driveway, and all was well. the powerstroke held well :)

if that came in the first 2 hours.. imagine whats going to come next! :smilielol5:
