Re: 5.3L towing
I bought my 2005 heavy half Dual cab with a towing package. I think it was listed at 295 HP. It came with 3.73 gears. Does well. I've pulled a 8500 lb load from Cal. to Texas and 12,000 load from Ft. Campbell Ky to Tx. Now has over 200,000 miles. No tuner work with stock sized tires. The transmission tow mode is a life saver. Might want to get with Ed Wright on a tune up. I have a buddy that we pulled the heads on his 2008 Ext cab and did some minor work on the heads and put an AFM delete on it. Some mail order guy in Missouri did the computer. We put 3.73 gears in it. It does a real good job.
