Last weekend I went to rescue my buddies second gen 1500 360 gasser
He was going up into the mountains for a job when something let go in the transmission. luckily he was able to limp it off the 15N at ste agathe into a tims/gas station parking lot with lots of space
when he told me what happened i went and measured my 21' tilt equipment trailer at work. 80" between the fenders. i looked up the specs for a 2nd gen 79.3"
i called him up and I said I hope you have stock tires brother!
he says yes so after work I hitched up that double axle tilt trailer to my ram, fillee the gas tank and went to pick him up at his house (30 minutes from my work)
It *** Saturday afternoon and the boys were out and everyone wanted to come so the warlock was full up with 5x 200lbs (conservative estimate haha) men including myself
the empty trailer weighs about 2.5k lbs
from his place to his truck was 150kms (94 miles) took 1/4 tank to get there
with the truck loaded up on the trailer we got back close to his place (15 minutes) but it was the last gas station open at that time of night. took another half tank to get to there. so including the 15 minutes back to his place and 30 minutes to return the empty trailer I used a bit more than a 3/4 tank to get the job done. I am very impressed I was sure she going to be chugging the fuel down like collage girls on spring break!
the truck was a bit to far forward on the trailer other than that it was perfect! the warlock handled it with skill and ease! the hemi and 8 speed in tow haul mode never skipped a beat! always in power, never lugging. downshift when necessary but able to hold the gear and let the hemi work at 4k rpms, truly a beautiful thing with the x pipe and true dual exhaust
3.92 gears and real lt 10 ply tires aired up to 50 in the rear and 45 front
I also have biltstien 5100s and tuftruck coils in the back that definitely helped! even though she was squatted was not riding on the bump stops and I still felt like I was in control of the truck. kept it under 65mph the whole way back.
great experience overall!
