All aboard the fail boat!

I wouldn't touch it with my 7.3. I like my transmission.

You don't even need that...just go to Charlie Sheen's website and order a quart of Tiger Blood for your truck.

I sure hope he at least has a throttle body spacer. He's gonna need the extra HP to tow that kinda load.

well i ended up toughing it out i towed the boat. towed pretty well. gas mileage was pretty rough.

ever since i towed it my tranny slips in first and second. could this have happened from towing it? i figured the only thing that would have gotten hurt would be my hitch/ball/frame where hitch bolts up??

1) Your truck is not rated to pull that
2) You are lucky your brakes worked and you didn't kill anyone.

If this was a serious thread I hope you wrap your truck around a pole so that no one else gets hurt by your stupidity.

Delete this guy. He is full of it. Him and his friend joined the same day and have been obnoxious since. Check the what u tow thread and they show a navy ship. Jackasses. This site is for people asking real questions and looking for real answers. Come on white lightning.

You did something illegal and very dangerous, not only to yourself, but to others. If you are towing a 20K boat, get something with 4 wheels in the rear and some big brakes.

OK I lied. You know those trailers they use at diesel sled pulls? I put like 4 of them in my bed at a time and drive around for fun. Thats only like 220K pounds.
