But then i had to haul a full size trailor with my car which was full of stuff also. so the tires were bulging really bad. i thought for sure they were gonna blow. i had like 55 pnds in them and they looked like they had about 10 pounds in them. i drove it that way for 1000 miles. every bump was like going thru a field of land mines. I was sure something was gonna break, i mean how could it hold up to that weight? I had no choice though, this was my last trip to remove my property. as it was i had to leave my perfect condition leather couch and several other items that i just didnt have room for.
when i finally got to arkansas and pulled into the driveway i had such a relief. it was the most intense road trip i had ever been on. 18 hours it took to make it. when i got out all i could say was never again.
it has a HD yank stall convertor now so it will definately all be retuned.

it's true! it's true! I was afraid we were gonna have to stop along the way to drive the seperate vehicles instead of hauling the car.
for the truck!
