'98 Chevy 3500 2wd dually, 5 speed manual, 5.7 vortec. Cab and chassis with a box.
We just finished our final trip from Alabama to Pennsylvania. Jammed every last thing into the box, full to the roof.
Passenger side cat was plugged so I had to cut it out the other day and patch before the trip, that's another long story. Trip had to happen and be done moving.
I knew I was heavy, was able to keep it at least 45mph on bad hills by going down to third. One bad hill in West Virginia required 2nd in the truck lane, had a semi driver in front that didn't seem to know what he was doing.
Most of the time I was constantly jumping between 4th and 5th. Pedal on the floor almost all the time. My right calf is sore because I kept it floored literally hours at a time. 55-65mph most of the way. 70mph occasionally on a downhill.
Kid was dying to use a truck scale so we went through a CAT scale for fun.
Gross weight was 13420 lbs.
How stupid was this?
