I'm Awesome
Hey guys, im looking for some advice. I own a 93 std. Cab short bed c1500 with a 5.0l, 4l60e, and 3.42s riding on 31x10.5's with stock suspension. I towed small utility trailers (around 2500lbs) around town often, and have moved a 5,000lb trailer across the county about 35 miles with no issues, but on 40mph roads with no traffic (2am, long story).
Any way, i live in new york, and my graduation gift is traveling with my father, my truck, and my 1923 ford to arkansas (about 1000 miles one way) for a t-bucket convention.
First question, i need to rent a trailer that will put all 4 wheel off the ground, we were considering a uhaul aluminum one. Anyone have any suggestions/coments on them? I realize no 2 are identical, but there close enough. I have a a flat 4 electrical connection, so no external brake control. And i would not to have to add one, as room is limited and its not something i would use often.
Second area, my hitch sucks. I have a cheap 1" drop, a old as dirt 8" drop. I would like an adjustable one, any suggestions?
I know to not put the transmission in overdrive, as my 2,000$ lesson left me with a freshly rebuilt and upgraded 4l60e with waranttee.
Any other tips? I have oil coolers and all that fun stuff, but is there anything you suggest i should add or give a once over. This trip wont be for another 6 weeks or so, so im going to do a full service and brakes that way i have time to know it was done right or fix it (would suck to do brakes the day before and have the thing pull to the left or something, or an oil change the night before to find out i put 2 o rings on the filter and its leaking- go ahead ask me how i know
