    Engine mods on an 86 4x4 for towing a 3000lb. travel trailer???

    Great info and I really appreciate it. I took a look at the truck today and found a vacume line off the heat riser so I repaired that but it's very stiff so I just set it in the open position.

    Just picked up a 79 C-10 from Az.

    Just picked up a 79 C-10 from Az. Mechanicals are great as it runs and rides like a new truck. Truck has 67K on it but still needs some cosmetic repairs. It needs a grill and a tailgate.
