hmm, missed this thread somehow.

Back when I had my '99 GMC ECLB 2500LD. Towed this from Idaho Falls, ID to Orofino, ID. Slow going on the interstate up the continental divide into Montana and Lolo Pass back into Idaho, but we made it. The back of the truck was loaded with stuff too, she was definitely squatting.


The variety of uses the current truck does. The camper + jet boat was noticeable weight. Kept forgetting the Jeep was back there, truck didn't even care. The hay....well 20,000+ lbs is definitely noticeable.

Very Very NICE Fly Bridge?

No, it's a console cabin w/ full 360 walk around. The diesel is a 3.7 liter 24 valve straight six w/ sequential supercharger/turbo producing 260 hp. Bought it this past February and been rigging since. This was the first shakedown trip and now I have a to do list to take me through the fall. Engine and drive have 520 total hours, or almost broken in. Engine ran flawless. However, the hydraulic steering is leaking from sitting and needs to be replaced. Also need to go through trailer disc brakes and switch the actuator from surge to electric over hydraulic. That's boats, especially saltwater boats, for ya.

yeah, biggest (and dumbest) load I ever pulled with a 1 ton. It was just shy of 40,000lbs. That shipper would keep adding trailers to an order until you said STOP ALREADY! I will say this, the cummins never hesitated at all.

Here's a pic of my 30' camper I owned for 8 years. I sold it to insurance 2 weeks ago due to hail damage. It's old and heavy but my 6.5 pulled it like a team of well trained clydesdale's.

Nice Gerald.

I picked up 4 loads of pipe and some sucker rod. I found out that the forklift weighs more than 60 joints of pipe. It may have been the wind resistance but it also seemed like more weight to get moving.

There is around 70 joints of sucker rod with the forklift, it felt like it too.

Yikes Leo!

I think with the forklift and sucker rod I may have been over my licensed 30,000#

20 yrs from now when those wells are old, you will have lots of used pipe to choose from.

Do you know many well operators you could ask?

 

[NVW]

It just dawned on me Simon, your wells have h2s don't they? Only allowed 1ppm to sell the pipe.

h2s is hydrogen sulfide gas, it's what your neighbor "Weevil Ludwig" gets so upset about. 1ppm is one part per million.
