My last truck was a V6, and had some issues pulling the enclosed trailer back up from the desert floor. It would DO it, it just wasn't happy about it... oh yeah... and turn off the a/c before starting the grade... as SDL and mikeyb will attest. I'm hoping my settlement is in the 10-12000 range, and I'll put a down on a V8 supercrew... unsure about needing a 250, but need the V8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrible619 4 Posted October 12, 2007 I worked in PB for a year or so and I have had plenty close calls in that exact spot. I'm Glad the truck took the beating and not you because we all know bikes dont do as well. This is My brothers KLR after a truck pulled out in front of him last year on old hwy 8 near Lake Jennings. He is OK now, but he was in extremley critical condition for a while at the hospital. Careful out there on that scary asphalt stuff.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recommend a diesel - Pullin' Power!!! I 2ND THAT! My last truck was (is) a diesel, and you're preachin' to the choir... but I am no longer pulling 48' 6 horse trailers, and the intitial costs of diesel are so much more. Not to mention the repairs (which I find less frequently than on my gas trucks... they make diesels SOLID) So IF I decide I want a toy hauler, I probably WOULD go with a diesel... Thanks to everybody for your concern and suggestions... just another reminder that any day can be our last... live well, have fun, treat others right and enjoy family and friends. If I was in the same place at the same time on my bike... I doubt I'd be typing right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erick 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Bummer! Glad you're ok. I used to commute that way daily. I'm not aware of any place that where traffic comes to such a complete stop out of nowhere. Definitely a trouble spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclecameron 0 Posted October 12, 2007 the problem is that the exit south is on the far right 2 lanes, and then the next lane to the left is the North 5 lane, which is single, so it gets jammed up and stops right where people are changing their minds to go south, so the 3rd lane over is the one where people pitch their car sideways and then play bumper car with the lanes next to them, definitely a layout conceived during happy hour a few drinks too late Congrats on walking away from the accident, that's what counts!
