Re: dusted by a diesel

["Dave Aukerman" <mhauk@ccsdana.net>]

Passed a interesting sight yesterday.  Ford F350 w/powerstroke diesel,
gooseneck trailer, hauling a full-size John Deere tractor with duals (the
tractor not the truck).  Truck was going up a false-flat at around 65mph. 
Ya just gotta love that torque.
