Wow. I get around that towing with my 454
Pulled a uhaul car trailer with a 91 skyline from seattle to great falls, little over 700 miles, with my 95 k1500. 3rd gear, 70 mph, 8-9 mpg. Truck did great with 4l60e and 3.73s. Stock size 265/75 16 tires. Going up the passes I had to drop to 2nd and hold it to the floor to keep it at 30-40 at a little over 4500 rpms for a few miles. Total weight was around 5500 pounds.
That doesn't seem right, when mine was stock it would pull double digits with an open deck and even now high single digits with an 8500# enclosed hauler. Then again, the first time I pulled with it I already had it tuned with exhaust. Thing was a turd when I first got it!
Ahh, didn't realize TBI. That's probably a factor. Mine has 247k and seems to run strong.
