I drive an 08 gmc 1500 4.8 work truck, 2doors 78k on odometer. bought it 2 yrs old with 9k on it. Wife drives 09 chevy avalanche with 5.3 same miles plus or minus few. She went to town and bought a bigger travel trailer. Come home saying she bought a 28' puma by palimo, big slideout. I say how you pulling it. says with chevy. I show her the weight limit on pulling and explain it has to do more to being able to stop as well. Says salesman tells her it is a 6500 lb trailer. I look it up in many books, and finally get to see tag. 8500 empty. Chevy drug it home. Really tounge heavy and could have used a few more ponies as flat ground 60 was top speed and engine at 3500 rpm. tow haul activated. With this all in mind. Looking around at a about same age low mile 3/4 ton with maybe sm. diesel or bigger gas engine. Am a gm man but looking at it all. see a lot of dodge 1500 with the 5.7. look them up and they got just over 400hp. No the chevy has 325ish. But I am unfamiliar with rear ratio what I am seeing is 3:90 or so. My gmc has 3:73 and I know I only have 4 speed and the dodge is 5 or 6. is that better for pulling and gas milage. Need help.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
