    !/2 ton Truck towing limitations

    The class 4 hitch is more than capable The transmission, transmission cooling, axle bearings, rear springs and chassis strength along with a bunch of CYA legal speak are what puts the 5000# sticker on your truck The WDH requirement is a legal band-aid from those that do not know what you are...

    !/2 ton Truck towing limitations

    Usually Air Bags are all that is needed to not squat. But agree, they do not add capacity or change the weight distribution in a static condition. They may change the dynamic condition a bit as the rear thrust angle geometry changes a bit with squat

    Just love it when lawyers get involved with hitch ratings.... A true class 4 hitch is rated for 10k tow and 1000# of tongue weight However can the truck handle the tongue weight? As AD mentioned, it needs the tow package and tow max axle for the higher tow rating. The truck is more than...

    Never use a vacuum advance distributor on a boat. Use a good marine distributor I would use a Holley carb over a Rochester, since the Rochester hasn't been built since 1989 I would also use a Holley over an Edelbrock

    That inline plastic filter is not legal, and since it's sitting in front of a 20 micron water separating filter, it's pretty useless Make sure the fuel pump is working. Run the motor off a small 1-3 gallon fuel tank first. You can chase the system upstream of the fuel filter from there...

    Suggestions rebuilding a Bowrider
