    truck towing pictures...

    Looks like you need some tractor weights on the front of your little trucks front bumper to keep the wheels on the ground.

    Just a little load today..

    My son had a '06 Excursion with the POS 6.0, after the 4th set of head gaskets, even after the arp head bolt fix, he called the bank to bring a trailer & haul it off (wouldn't run), he told them he had 2 choices - fix it or pay for it, but couldn't do both, spent about $10k before that. Tried to...

    Brakes??

    Need to definitely get truck/trailer brakes working properly, then get the turbo/exhaust brake, IMO any diesel that tows should be required to have them.

    Improved ride

    I have a '13 Denali 3500 DRW that I've added Timbrens & with the overload springs makes for a very harsh ride when not towing our 16.5k fifth wheel. I'm wondering if taking the stops off of the frame for the overloads & just use the Timbrens if that might soften the empty ride. The 5th wheel...
