yeah, i was towing a ****load. i wasn't sure how it would be b/c it was my first towing job with this truck, and it was going 1200 miles straight lol. but, not a single problem, no heat probs, no steering probs, felt solid as hell the whole way. was rollin a steady 80mph at about 2000rpm. after i calc'ed it, i believe i got 12.5 mpg, which isn't too bad i guess for the load. ran regular fuel until i hit nebraska, and then i ran premium but it felt exactly the same. had so much **** in the bed + trailer weight the *** was saggin a bit. when i got to CO i thought about installing some air bags, anybody use em? what do ya think? i think it was like $600 for a set of rears with no on-board air.
well I agree the 5.9 is a great motor, but mine does not have that much power. Maybe the ignition makes that big a difference, but mine wont smoke no tires!!
what mpg are you getting, my bud has an 02 5.9 4x4 with 35's and gets 8-10, i have been wanting to get 35's, but its my dd, and my mpg sucks already
My friend has an 05 QCSB with the 4.7 and he thinks it's the most godly motor ever, its funny as hell. He claimed right after he got it he punched it from a stop and spun em for a full block. Can anyone say bullchit?
i can spin em for a lil distance i try not to tires are to damn expensive...i can take off and punch it and she gets it...its no hemi and im not trying to make it one...but everyone underestimates them....

I'm not tryin to dog em or underestimate em but come on a completely bone stock 4.7 is not gonna spin em for about 250 feet! If they can it's news to me and I wanna see it happen.
