You are way overloaded. I would not tow more than a couple of tons with that little engine.
Been towing for a year every day can I get a oil cooler and trans cooler Will that help she is all I have for now just starting new career I hope radiator gave out along with heater core,im want to get oil cooler radiator but truck didn't come with it or trans cooler
You must be towing north of 8,000 pounds. Your truck is running on borrowed time even with additional cooling capacity. I hope you have trailer brakes!
A half ton truck towing 8,000 pounds everyday is pushing it even with a V8. You really need a 3/4 ton truck with the towing package.
Hopefully it will work for a little longer, can I put a oil cooler on, im having to buy radiator and heating core was hoping I can add a transmission cooer also,to help me get by
Is 13,000 lbs the weight of the trailer, load and the pickup? Or is 13,000 lbs the weight of the loaded trailer only?
I am surprised you can get that load rolling from a stop. You must live in the flat lands.
Yeah it is very rough on the engine and drive trane, this is a attempt to get by until I can upgrade to dump truck. Can I get oil cooler, transmission cooler radiator for my truck . My truck was not equipped with none of these accessories.
If you have an auto transmission there would be cooling lines to the radiator. You can add a transmission cooler by removing those lines from the radiator and running them to the new cooler. Adding an engine oil cooler is more work. You need to get the cooler, oil lines and an oil cooler adapter. Summit racing can sell you the parts you need.
Wow, you are at least 5,000 lbs overweight. This is not only unsafe, it is illegal and in the event of an accident you can be held liable.
Highway patrol will nail you hard and make you park your vehicle, don't do this!!! Over weight tickets are no joke, take it from a trucker that knows!
Hey will my v6 chevy silverado 4.3 make it towing 3aluminum boat trailers load about 10500 FROM chicago to seattle?
I had a full bed and pulling a tandem axle u haul trailer loaded with furniture from Indianapolis to Cleveland, mostly flat ground 4.3 V6, 5spd stick, and I had to leave it in 4th to go 65mph in 5th it just slowed down, in 4th at 65mph I was turning about 2,100 Romo's, I unloaded the truck and trailer, and pulled it back to Indy, the empty trailer pulled the same, had to leave it in 4th gear.
Got 4.3 ltr, Silverado, 2004 with trailer package I guess has button on shifter for trailer, 6 lug wheels, what is it's maximum towing capacity?
