    5mouths, you better head to Kentucky and pick up Pharms trailer with his load and deliver it for him. He's down for the count with major transmission trouble.

    Thats what they said but I really can't see how this would be any different from taking wheels and brakes off.....:biggrin_25513: I think they just didn't want to do it. I'm sure I cranked down on the hard enough figuring
    130lbs x 7 ft of leverage should equal 400+ lbs of tq, but I'll run 75-100 miles and recheck them.

    I would agree with rolling the window down... it does help.
