    Pulling to the right and squirrely on the Hwy?

    Not sure when the alignment was done last? I just bought this truck a few months ago so not sure what the previous owner did? I guess I will go for an alignment after inspecting the ball joints/tie rods as to not pay twice if I have to relace anything? Tires are wearing as true as can be. No...

    Towing?? 2002, 1500 Quad cab, 5.9

    Nick, I would guess I will be towing 10-15 times a year? Probably 2-6 hrs in travel time on each haul. Nothing cross country but pretty much all over California. Wow 15,300 is a ton of a trailer. Was the transmission towing it fine until the flush?

    I was thinking I would just level it too. Any recommendations on a kit or just the leveling spacers? Any idea on what it costs to have the trans adjusted? I will do the other fluids myself.

    Thanks Luke but I'm talking about long steep grades on the highway. You're right if I was gonna do them in the dirt I would go with a 4wd for sure. I just need something to get me there and find a nice flat spot to park in the desert. Most of the places we go have pretty well manicured roads to...

    I will check the plenum. Thanks Bryan! Zack, Is your dad's truck a 5.2l ? Also I am running 35" tires so that requires a regear in itself.

    I will defenitely stick to the hard pack dirt roads and keep out of the deep loose stuff. I am more concerned on whether or not the 5.2l will handle the load. I am thinking 4.56 gears?? not sure if 4.10's will be enough however I do not want to over gear and get terrible hwy mileage while not...
