Ive got an '03 Silverado with a 5.3/4L60E that I just hauled 5,000 pounds of Blazer and trailer at 65 on the interstate and I know HartRod is putting a 5.3 in his Suburban project. Im not saying its a towing dreadnaught, im just saying it works pretty good. Just a suggestion.

Oh, my buddy has the same truck I do but its a Z71 and he has put a chip in it, headers, cold air intake and exhaust and it IS a dreadnaught! That thing will get up and go and he uses it to haul around equipment for his underground utilities company.
