    Max trailering weight

    Understood. Sometimes Im a little slow on the uptake.

    Max trailering weight

    Ok, got it. So back to the numbers in my OP; have I correctly figured the max allowable GVWR for a trailer?

    Max trailering weight

    I’m confused. I thought GCWR was the line in the sand, so to speak. In other words, the total allowable weight of the whole rig (truck, trailer, passengers, fuel, cargo, etc) that was not to exceeded when weighed on a scale. Or am I wrong?

    Max trailering weight

    If tow vehicle GCWR is 23,500 and GVWR IS 11,400, am I to understand that the highest rated trailer GVWR I can pull is 12,100?

    Replacement motor for 91 K2500

    I was looking at a Howard’s flat tappet, 112001-14, .420 lift, 261/255, 114 LSA.

    Replacement motor for 91 K2500

    I’ve got a 1st gen 400 sbc short block and am wondering if the TBI heads, intake and throttle body off the existing 350 motor would flow enough, assuming RPMs (operating range) were 4K and below. thanks Todd

    Towing my tractor

    Well, for what it’s worth, I didn’t feel it fish tailing. It drove fairly steady but just didn’t have a ton of power. A switch to a 400 SBC and 4:10s would make it much nicer, but for now, it will do.

    Worked out just fine. 4.10s would help, but 3.42s got it done.

    1990 C1500 ABS (RWAL) removal.

    I did this on my 91 K2500 and also found it to be a direct fit, no adapter necessary. I did replace the master cylinder but did not upgrade. After bleeding out the system and adjusting the rear brakes, the pedal has about an inch of travel and then engages. The spongy pedal was completely...

    Even better. Truth be told though, it will be whatever shows up first! I’m not going to be picky!

    Towing my tractor

    I’ll have to make this trip with the truck as is, but will be watching the pick-n-pull for a full floating 14 bolt with 4.10s. It wont solve everything but will surely be an improvemen.

    Towing my tractor

    Well, a new Ram 3500 is coming in a few years, but for now, this is what I have to work with. I’m picking the new trailer up in Chambersberg, PA and then heading to MT Olive for the tractor. On the trip back, the steepest incline that I know of will be the Delaware Memorial Bridge. As...

    Towing my tractor

    Uhhhh….no. I’m not too concerned with rebuilding the trans every 10K as I likely won’t hit that number in 5 years. However, overheating regularly is certainly a concern, as is not being able to stop and rear-ending people. It’s got a Redarc Elite tow pro brake controller. I was told that...

    Towing my tractor

    I purchased this truck to tow my tractor(s) on an 18 foot deck over. The fellow that sold it to me said it would need engine work and he was right. After head gaskets, valve job, new intake/exhaust seals, thermostat and new coolant, she runs pretty good for 111,734 miles. Does anyone see any...
