Dodge dakota 2001 heating problem

From : Annonymous

Q: i have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 short bed i was wondering if it would be possible to pull a 1974 mobile home which is 50 feet long and 15 feet wide 30 feet and turn it 90 degrees my husbands boss says that it will do it but i want to make sure before attempting it. any advance would be helpful. if youre talking fairly level ground and youre careful i dont see a problem. remember the towing ratings for these vehicles are for highway speeds and have more to do with stopping the load than moving it. youre talking about making very slow movements within a yard. use the lowest gear available to you and take it nice and slow. make sure the tires in both the trailer and the truck are inflated to their maximum pressure. move anything you can inside the home as far to the rear as possible - this will lighten the tongue weight. since youre not going very far the lighter the tongue the better forget the 10-15% rule here. if your truck is a 4x4 pull the vacuum lines off the front axle cad and plug them with golf tees then engage the transfer case in low range. this will give you 2wd low which will let you make tight maneuvers and still get the extra gear reduction. .
