Bigdog:
You pull a trailer with it? I LOVE my 1500, Love Love Love.. But.. if it is straining it to do the work I need to do with it.. I'll kill it. It has the horsepower with the 5.3 V8, but putting my 1500+ lb car hauler with a 4000lb load- squats that thing like no other. I don't want to tear it up.. I'd rather move her down the road and use something more appropriate than kill this and have to spend and arm and a leg fixing it because I'm really overdoing what it was meant for. I spoke to a friend of mine who does fleet sales and has and always will deal in Chevys or GMC's he said "Oh well your truck is capable of pulling 9400lbs" I thought- shoot.. I put 9400 lbs on the back end of that, I'd be scraping like Mater "on the new road"
