I pulled a tractor trailer a few feet and I pulled my tractor about a 100 feet in the snow. I've carried enough that it sagged in the back and I broke one spring clamp but never broke anything else on this one nor gotten it stuck...yet.

Kennedy diesel sells the marine pumps, but they are not cheap! http://www.kennedydiesel.com/detail.cfm?ID=26

My current maximum combined gross is 16,500 pounds. Junk to the dump. Old composition roofing, old decking material and just trash.
The 1031 SECM pulled it, just not fast. I put it in 4 low once off road as the dump has some good grades and D9 grouser ruts.

Cool thanks for the link iceman! I realy feel that if I do a turbo, I first need a bigger injection pump, along with a decent set of headers, and if I can get 300 hp I would be happy. Lol if there's one thing I know about engines they need to breathe as well as exhale, then you can give them MORE FUEL!!!

I pulled my 22' camper today with my M1008 and I was hoping it would pull it better than it did.
My truck has 6" lift and 37" tires I know the tires hurt me some.
Inside the campground there are some hills and 20 mph is all it could do on one of them.
I have a turbo from a 6.5 that I will be installing soon.
it handled the trailer fine but it did not stop good without trailer brakes.
my camper is 4200 lbs empty so I would say I had about 5000 lbs total.
I also have a SM465 trans and A 205 Tcase I am thinking about
Putting in it I am just not sure if that is what I want to do yet.

Pushed a M930 about 30 miles with my M1028, the dump truck was running so had brakes and steering but transmission was shot.

Oh I would say about 20 lbs. That is what the piece weighted that got pulled out of my Crown of Thorns M1009 when the Bubba rope maxed out.Attachments

I don't know how much a GMC CCKW weighs, but pulled one with a broken transfercase for a few miles.
No problems at all, did hurt my nose on the steeringwheel, as the brakeman in the GMC thought it was fun to step on the brakes when I was pulling.

I towed a 2800 lb jeep on an 1800 lb double axle steel bed trailer 325 miles one way with my M1009. I have stock 31" tires, stock axles, no turbo, a Class III hitch that was bead welded and bolted to the truck frame, and a Tekonsha trailer brake controller. The truck ran fine at 60-65, but I kept it between 55-60 to save a little fuel. It slowed down a little when riding up the overpasses, but it did fine altogether. I got around 10-12 MPG for the ride up with the load. My M1009 is one of my daily drivers so I keep it in excellent condition.
