Cool I stick with that then . What about pulling a trailer ? Haven't done it yet but am going to have too . It's a little Tacoma that shouldn't be pulling anything but whatever . Is it any different with the extra weight

Hell, I had one like that. Sometimes that hand brake lever was the only way to get the damn thing to stop! eeks

heavy loads ? I saw It pull a couple larger heavy rolling steels on a little dove tail one time and the two were not agreeing well lots of grinding and smoke coming from somewhere . Just asking to know what to expect

roflmao when I was a youngster working with my grandad on masonry jobs he would only let me screw up once, he would show me the correct way, then say, don't lick your calf twice, I'm positive it means don't eff up twice

My papaw was colorful to say the least. One summer visit when I was around 9 or 10 and tagging along with him to work on a rent house I got to learn all sorts of things - some of which are not appropriate to repeat on here. LOL

Put it in 1st gear when you park and turn it off.


I've never owned an automatic vehicle. Neither has my wife. I'm still trying to convince her that the parking break is to be used, but it's good practice to also park it in gear. She is a redhead, so no matter what, im wrong.

Learn to give it gas at the same pace you let off the clutch. Also, after you get it moving, learn to shift without the clutch. Get the rpms up, let off the gas slightly, and change gears at the same time. I've driven many a card back home after a clutch burned out. Tricky part is at a red light. Put it in 2nd and hit the starter, it will jump forward, start and you're on your way again.

I watched a tow truck take out a privacy fence in Richardson. The driver got out. Guessing he put it in reverse instead of park. It backed itself right into someone's fence. Dude got back in and drove off.
