Seems like a start.
What is "intake kit"? Please tell me it's intake gaskets for a plenum fix...

I uses to tow 7-12k loads all the time with my 1500 5.2 auto 2wd. But I did have a fresh transmission, non leaking plenum, and didn't push it. Hell I even ripped a mobile home down with it, vid is on here somewhere.

Yeah the intake kit is the hughes plenum kit. I hope when i get home and do all this work that hopefully i will be able to cruise at 70 with no trailer and my 318 will be able to keep that speed. Cause right now it struggles to stay at 70 it constantly wants to down shift to keep the speed up and has a hard time doing it.
