[QUOTE="The Luke, post: 711863, member: 1976"] After overheating my 08 Silverado 1500 pulling my stupid heavy trailer with my equally heavy 1 ton cherokee going up Monteagle mtn on I-24(Engine temp was about 220* and Trans got to about 219* and I was CREEPING by the top of the mtn), I've decided it's time for a change. Plan A: Sell my trailer for a lighter wood deck 20' trailer. I'll be weighing my trailer asap to find out. But I'm guessing the solid steel old tilt heavy equipment 16' trailer is around 3k. Add a larger trans cooler with aux fan on my truck. Plan B: Pickup dirt cheap diesel tow pig to have as a backup vehicle and dedicated toter. probably still get lighter trailer. Plan C: sell my truck and get a new to me ecoboost? or 3/4 ton truck better suited for towing probably still get lighter trailer Plan D: Don't go to AOP Who's towed what with what up that grade and had good luck? Thoughts? Suggestions? [/QUOTE]
