Worked the Cummins a little today

[CumminsCrazed]

Hey guys, my mom asked me today to go get a truck load of black compost dirt for her gardens etc. Me and a buddy went out to our landfill and spend 45 min. hand shoveling the whole back end of my truck worths of this dirt. It was about 93 deg, humid hot and just plan nasty out. Anyway, we got done and headed back into town. I found out on the way home, a "heavy" load in the bed plus a hot humid day equals some pretty nasty exhaust smoke down low before the turbo lights Before we got to my house, i drove to a local elevators truck scale and I tipped the scale at 10,500 lbs. I also had my truck sitting fairly level, if not a smidge on the nose high scale.



Heres some pics and a couple vids from when i got home

I bet the cummins barely broke a sweat hauling that around. Its amazing the truck is hardly even squatting. Gotta get a dump trailer to also hook to the back net time lol



What 5" exhaust do you have? Looks like my expandit/farmboy diesel, truck sounds good
