Let's see your tow package!!!

[Sheer Insanity]

Here's my rig loaded.

Im glad I dont live near you folks towing with passenger cars. Those vehicles are clearly not designed for towing boats and makes you dangerous to other people on the road.

How do you figure? I have a tongue weight of under 150lbs, and the hitch is rated to 3500lbs, which is about what my boat weighs.

The 37s will hurt a bit but do some research on cumminsforum.com or competitiondiesel.com you might bet able to add some timing with the smarty and pick up a few mpgs when your putting around. Good luck with it

Whats done to the trans anything yet?

trans is stock until it goes.... then it gets BUILT!

I'd do a converter and valve body or shift kit before you smoke it

[QuarterHorse]

[2.5_stoker]

this is my new (to me) 99 dakota R/T....i really like it so far but the damn thing is always thirsty! i added stiffer shocks and helper springs to keep it from sagging in the rear when the trailer is hooked up...just drove it from el paso tx to shreveport la and got 17mph on the way there (empty hitch) and got between 9-11 towing the boat back

[gary slagle]

for road trips

[gary slagle]

for the short trips to the neighborhood ramp & jockeying around

how can i tell if it has anything done? there was no paperwork with the truck when i got it. there is a 3"x3" plastic box that says "shift enhancer" velcro'd on the center console with 3 settings: towing, daily, and race.

Just sold my '01 1/2 ton Chevy p/u to buy this. We travel a lot and take our dogs w/us. A van gives us room to spread out.
Depending on how far we're going I even take the porta potti out of the Sonic and put it in the van for the Mrs so we don't have to stop
Also lets us camp in it. Have done this w/several vans and my favorite mode of transportation/towing.
Has 3 bench seats that are all removable. The rear one turns into a bed.
W/the seats being removable it gives us a ton of space and still lets me haul dead motors like in the truck.
The "passenger" vans are kinda hard to come by thoough. Most are either cargo or conversions. I like the conversions too but all that weight robs from your towing capacity and wastes too much room as all/most of the interior is permanent.
This one is a '00 w/a 350. The RPO tag shows 3.42 gears but based on the speedo reading 10 MPH's high and the fact it will bark the back tires from a 10 MPH roll, I'm guessing a previous owner had them switched to 3.73's which add's a 1K lbs towing capacity.
