Towing with an old truck
These are 3 different pulls on 3 different hitches. I'd much rather pull the 43' than the 34' in any situation still. The 43' rocks a bit but doesn't sway.- Strick

Towing with an old truck
When you load the WD hitch you'll see the effect in the vehicle suspension. Works great for tall profile trailers as it puts more of the weight back on the trailer axles and helps reduce sway. The dual wheels goes without explanation.- Strick

Towing with an old truck
Unfortunately dad's old C20 Crew with almost 50 years of fighting gravity & 400K miles isn't gonna be hauling much until I can address some spring issues...- Strick

Towing with an old truck
Dually axle trailer without the profile of a camper travel trailer. I'm certain that's a tongue heavy trailer you have but the load is centered over the axles with twice the contact surface area. I'd drag that 70mph wherever.- Strick

Rides better with a load that's loaded or hauled right. Springs & truck do very good from the General. There's no way I'd attempt this with a pintle or 2-5/16 bumper.- Strick

1979 C10 46 Years Young - One Owner
Welcome from Central NC. I have dad's 79 C20 Crew that he bought new. It has logged (no pun intended) 400K plus miles going to numerous logging sites in central & eastern NC. Dad ordered it with a 350 & SM465 with 3.73 out back. He swore he'd get twice the mileage of a 454 automatic truck...- Strick

81 K10 fuse panel layout
I would look somewhere besides the fuse gang for your issue. If you have intermittent starting issues I'd address the ignition starter switch (column mounted) first. This may alleviate your starting & parasitic draw issues in one repair. There are a few methods to check for the parasitic draw &...- Strick

Headers and exhaust for a V3500
My boy had a 91 V1500 Sub with the 350 that I did headers & true duals on. It had a 1 wire O2 sensor & I jumpered it & welded a bung on both collectors & it ran great. Yours may have a 454 but should still be the about same setup. HS- Strick

Towing with an old truck
10K lbs & 34' long. No dually truck & no trailer with dually axles. Pulled thru 20 states & 10K miles & very thankful to have weight distribution hitch for bumper pull. Did a bit of I-40, I-70 & I-80 on the western trip to GC. NE was 500 miles of worst driving ever due to wind sheer. I must have...- Strick

Towing with an old truck
Here's my '16 2500HD Max with a 10K 34' tag-along, dismantled '32 deck & 50 pavers & whatever junk would fit in the bed. This is WITH a distribution hitch. I wouldn't attempt to drag all this mess 150 miles home without the hitch. Hs- Strick

Weight distribution will load the suspension thru the hitch. It makes tag-along trailers a much better ride. Just do the Google machine & you'll see. HS- Strick
