That’s a pretty truck.

Pulled an 6k lb dry trailer that was fully loaded in my 110. Truck was fully weighed down with gear. Cruises from San Diego to the Sierra via the grapevine mid day with 95 degree weather. Pulled as it wasn't there.was cruising at an avg 75 to 80 mph. Truck was stable and crushed it up the grapevine with endless power passing on the number 2 lane lol. That's with the LS swap that was cam for lower torque curve por lt polish heads. Larger oil pump, derale oil and trans cooling under the driver's floor board. The grape vine pushed the limits especially since I was mashing up it at80 mph. Had to pull over once to let her cool down. On 33, all new drive line and suspension. Ran like a champ
