What is the guy going to blow first? lol

Not from this forum, somewhere else, but I have a question. What part is this guy most likely to break hauling this load? I'm thinking he's gonna lose some differential parts first ( I think he may have hauled this quite some ways) before much else breaks, and he wanted an info source on why I thought so. Opinions (other than he is about 2700lbs over 7500lb trailer towing limit)?

Here's a link to the thread,

I would say diff or tranny...but thats if he can keep it on the road in the first place:doah:

 

He can keep it on the road for sure, he drove it. opcorn:

Anyone else got an opinion, or is this the wrong forum?

 

I think he's definantly overloaded. I wouldn't be so worried about the differential, as I would the trans.

9,500lbs is way too much for that Durango. Personally, I think Dodge was generous enough with the tow rating from them at 7,500lbs, if thats really it.

It's not the power that is the problem, it's that it has 1/2ton suspension that can't keep a load like that stabilized.

 

I have that t-shirt, hat,and coffee mug. I am also glad that it is him and not me. trans will go first. then the bottom end

 

lol i towed a heavy equipment trailer with a amc rebel on my 99 dakota with a 3.9l motor.



lets say i got rid of it shortly after cause it never rode the same again

 

I'm thinking u joint/brakes if hes got alot of stops tranny/engine if its a long way without to many stops.

 

He might easily lose his life with a load like that! What an idiot!

 

not only his but someone other than himself
