[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 463215, member: 1780"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Tow Rig Delimma[/b] I know you are talking half ton, but I read somewhere while towing with the 6.0 LQ4 that some folks thought it be a good idea to pull in 3rd and not overdrive, but that ended up not being true, due to it being easier on the torque converter allowing it to go into overdrive, just use tow mode. But I understand 5.3's are different due to less power. Also, you mentioned the hp of the 5.3L HO being relatively close to the 6.0. I am unfamiliar off hand with the real life specs of either, but does it make near as much torque? I would bet the 6.0 has a good bit more torque, which is comes into play while towing. What you need to do is find a 6.0L 2500HD on a car lot, say yer gonna take it for a test drive, go home, hook yer truck and trailer up, and try it out. Then make yer decision :****: [/QUOTE]
