Axle Gearing
Okay guys, please settle down. I don't want us all to become enemies all over this.
Yes this is putting this truck way beyond it's capacity. I see where all you guys are coming from. Tis dangerous. Full ton dually on the way.
No need to report it to any law enforcement. I am gonna push on the full ton dually coming.
Yes you all are right. We shouldn't be pulling that much with this truck. No more 15K runs. I realize I have been wrong. Thanks for bringing me to my senses. I want to keep us all safe.

Just because the build sheet says 11 drum brakes on the rear doesn't mean it don't have 14 in at all, as it could have been reequipped later. For some reason I was thinkin we had 14" brakes, so I gonna go out to the shop and check.

So guys, I have to ask, and dont sass back please, how much do you think is safe to tow over the rated towing capacity on the 1/2 ton, since it does have some upgrades on the suspension, brakes, engine, and tranny?

Aromatic???????? Not everything on vehicles matches the build sheet. For one I must make clear we are not original owners. So I don't know everything done to this truck in the past. I have been able to figure out alot so far.
