Re: Engine mods on an 86 4x4 for towing a 3000lb. travel trailer???

A 3/4 ton won't care about towing #3000, other than the 700R4. Do NOT tow in OD. Do not try to set the land speed record. I towed much more than that with a 4.3 V6, run about 55 in 3rd gear and never had any issues. Travel trailers have big aero frontage so a cap may be advantageous. Change all the fluids, get the tune up spot on, and enjoy the cruise.
