NOW HIS HOUSE IS BEING REPOED !:evilb::evilb::evilb:

LOL Sy...feck yiz. :angry-smiley-044: :crazy: :D

Should i do it? Naaah i wont.... Ok i will! Just think if that was a FERD! LOLOLOL :drink::drink::drink::drink::evilb::evilb:

Notice the kid's Built Ford Tough shirt? :drink:

Hahaha yeah i saw that. if you look close you see him pushing the trailer... Even just wearing the emblem gives you unspeakable ammounts of power.

A FERD would have never made it to the road.

We know............Dodge.........

betcha my ford I could! that thing aint that heavy at all. hope his trans holds up! You know those dodges.... trannys made for the dakotas are in the rams!

Mobile meth lab....3/4T owners need not apply.

My Wifes TT Cayenne would pull that cardboard box.:evilb:

Sam

Those Cayennes are so cool.

LOL! Hilarious! When you are done with it. I'm gonna put an LR3 on top of it and tow it with a Lexus.

65'x11' and all the furniture in there it probly would scale out at +/- 20,000lbs.

Dodge trannies can handle 100hp over stock. Allisons aren't any better. It's the FERD trannies that are really strong.

easy their buddy no reason to drag the LR3 into this.......

This does not look very green friendly

Sweet!! :Score-101010: Great for receiver hitch guys.

The Torqshift is a monster i agree. even the old souped up E4OD which is called the 4R100 in the 7.3 is pretty tough though its only a four speed. my older Torqshift has 6 gears. it only uses 5 at a time depending on temp and if in tow mode. the new one has 7 or 8 and uses 6 depending on the conditions. they are one big bastard. my dad has a 1997 ram v-10. the only thing that will stop it is a gas station. its on its 3rd engine. but those were the ones that everyone worried about trans problems. still the same trans and he has blown botl ines at different times. so it has ran out of fluid twice. but she is still plowing and pullin. just recently the collector flanges rusted through. looks like i got some work ahead of me. prolly gonna just pull the engine again. figure those nuts and bolts are more loose than the manifold bolts.

my dad has a 1997 ram v-10. the only thing that will stop it is a gas station. its on its 3rd engine.


If that truck had a 12 valve it would still be on its first engine. You say you're going to pull the motor again? Find a 12 valve and bomb it. Upgrade the tranny and it will be an awesome truck again.

A 97 V-10 must be a real POS !, If an engine cant last 13 years ? Let alone 3 motors in 13 years ? and how many miles ? Apparently things other than a gas station CAN stop it ! Thank God I went to a Superduty !!!!! My $.02 Mike

I have a ford as well. He bought it new and we were pulling an empty trailer to omaha. all of the sudde iot started knocking. so he turned around and brought it home. it seized the number 9 piston. it got a short block out of warranty.

he plows with it and it has a body liuft so the spark plugs were always exposed to salt and stuff and it has cast heads. well, before i was a tech he had a guy remove the heads and extract the plugs. he didnt drain the block before removing the heads and forgot to get the coolant out of one of the back cylinders. so he hydro-locked it. then him and i put a jasper long block in it.

so all in all it is on its 3rd. one was mopar's fault and the other was a reall azz of a lazy tech. it has like 90k on it i think. he dosent use it much and when he needs to pull equipment or the dump trailer now he just borrows my truck. all his trailer wiring is screwed.

I didn't know they had that option back then. I don't think I've ever seen a 1997 with a Viper motor. I think the motor is good but his father must have really ragged on it. The Ilmors are the same motor basically...

Back in 97-98, our company trucks were V10 dodges. Things only got 6mpg, and they screwed up on one of them and put the smaller fuel tank for a short bed in it(one ton dually). It had about a 150 mile range. Made towing a big trailer fun. Every time you went by a gas station that would allow you to get a 38ft trailer in it, you had better just stop and top it off.

Why did they use gas motors instead of the Cummins?

i dont know.... I know the launch of that engine there was A Lot of hype. Dad had to have it. Like the first ever real v-10 in a truck. It pulls fine i guess. he lifted it and it has wayyyy to big of tires on it. but he borrows the Ferd if he needs to tow really heavy. but he does not have a brake controller either sooo. its more of a saftey thing,.

Good question. They only did it one year, then went back to diesels. I was lucky enough to get out of it after a year and a half. The new guys got stuck driving them till they finally got replaced after four years.
