Yup, pretty much what it says. I work with cranes and we used the truck to bring a boom section down to the crane and offloaded it. The truck has had some fuel issues and died and wont do much more than idle without help. Well we jumped it and built air pressure then it died again so we released the brakes and I pulled it outta the way with the Duramax, trailer and all. I know it aint much with the brakes released but it was nice to be the one doing it when the other guys at work got fords. It did get a lil rough when he was steering though, the trailer was straight with me and he was sideways up in the cab backing the trailer where it needed to be. Anyways, just thought Id share incasee ya'll ever wanna move a semi, go for it no problems.

Guys, you don't need a duramax or even a diesel, to do that (although I'm sure it would be easier)

From what ive found out over the years its all in grip not necessarily power of course power helps though. I had an s15 jimmy as my first vehicle and that thing could pull or push anything it plowed snow easily just as good if not better than my duramax. I pushed a 10 wheel dump truck out of a snow bank with my truck last winter which was cool tho so I know it can be fun to help out bigger trucks :)
