Re: Towing with our trucks
Well just got back from towing a 3500 lb travel trailer with the truck. The trailer had electric brakes and with the controller I installed it worked awesome. Felt like the truck was just stopping itself. No hard pedal pressure or anything. The only problem I encountered was taking off on a hill which the truck did not like......lol. I was wondering if installing 3.55s would make a big difference? Also can they be installed on the same carrier? Towing home with it traveling around 60-65 we got 9.98 mpg which seemed pretty good with the 3.08 gears. I just dont know it it would make it up steep grades in the Mountains, which is where we want to camp? The 283 did a decent job!!
