thats funny stuff

your the guy that said he just needs a gear change & tune but never mentioned NOTHING about weight distributing setup or trailer brakes witch is needed when towing 5000+ lb.

I do A LOT of towing and have been for the last 25 years! I've pulled up to 11,300lbs with my 1/2 ton suburban yeah not recommended but was done just because you have not don't mean it cant be done and my setup was only rated for 10k as long as you use COMMON SENSE have the proper setup it can be done safely within reason

my suburban has rear coil springs witch every one knows its not the best for towing but its rated by GM for 10k with a weight distributing setup keep in mind its a suv "SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE" not a TRUCK so if mine is rated for 10k why cant a truck with leaf springs pull it with a weight distributing do it to?

COMMON SENSE and skill gos along way! i've seen guys by 1 tons dually diesel's that could not pull 7k with out swaying all over the place
