Was hauling a load of bales this summer with my brother's 98 Dodge 2500 Cummins diesel club cab. Going about 45 mph on the gravel. Had 15 bales on at around 1200lbs/bale = 18,000 lbs + weight of trailer yet.

So I shift down and let the clutch out, revving the engine to around 2800 rpms and came right up on the guy's bumper but didn't hit him. I was lucky.

GET BRAKES, GET THE BEST YOU CAN, AND KEEP THEM SERVICED! Steven
