94 ram 318 tow rig
i just lost my job and had to sell my 08 hemi...i got a 94 ram 1500 with the 318 and auto trans long bed...my problem is i am using it to pull my 32 ft car hauler with a 93 dakota mud truck and my 30 ft camper (no not at the same time lol). The truck runs really good but getting on the highway i feel as if it needs more. I need more pulling power this truck is stock as a rock i need to know the route to go to get it more capable to pull...
At 32' I am guessing it is a deck over/ gooseneck which is a heavy trailer. My opinion would be to slow down and enjoy the ride. It's a big difference from the HEMI. Just take it easy on the old truck until some of these other guys chime in. Not sure what works for the 318 here.

yeah the car hauler is a gooseneck the truck pulls great and doesnt sag, doesnt sway just lacks the power i am used to. I do like the slow down and enjoy the ride part lol
I second the gears. Prrobably the single most gain that will help you. And not to mention probably the cheapest if you can do it on your own.
